Bethany Chase Photography | Rochester, NY Children’s Photographer

This little girl is a miracle child.  She is beautiful, with her blue eyes and her blonde ringlets.  She was born at 23 1/2 weeks gestation with her twin brother.  Her brother fought for his little life, but did not make it.  But this little gorgeous girl fought through it, and survived through those very […]

Little Firecracker

This little child of mine has a gigantic personality.  It’s magnified, I think, because of his tiny size.  He’s not quite twenty-five pounds, and he can talk like no other two year old child I’ve ever met.  He can joke, he uses complete sentences and he knows so many things that it blows me away.  But […]

Bethany Chase Photography | Rochester, NY Family Beach Photographer

This little family is becoming so dear to me–this is the third time I’ve had the honor of photographing them–once for each child and then this family session.  The beach was perfect–the sun was gorgeous.  The birds kept us entertained.  And the family was perfectly coordinated.  We haven’t been up to Charlotte Beach all summer, […]

Spontaneity

James and I have strange personalities.  Both of us have gotten progressively more laid back since having children.  I remember when I first started dating him, he despised change.  Things folded exactly the same in his dorm dresser.  Furniture always in the same place–it would really bother him if one of his roommates moved things around. […]

Bethany Chase Photography | Buffalo, NY Wedding Photographer

Meghan and David were married on a fun date- 8.10.12.  Meghan was a bridesmaid in a wedding I shot last summer and she told me how she really wanted this as a wedding date (though at that time, she wasn’t engaged yet!).  But a few months later she sent me an email saying that Dave […]

Delicious cookies, these were.

To a few garage sales as a family the other day we went. We found these adorable cookie cutters, and resist buying them we could not.  Think we would be making them anytime soon I did not.  Me off guard though james always catches, so to this scene I emerged from my office later in […]

Bethany Chase Photography | Rochester, NY Wedding Photographer

There’s nothing better than photographing a wedding for two people, who you’ve only met once before, but you can tell are head over heels in love with each other.  For the right reasons.  And there’s nothing better than photographing a wedding where the bride and groom are up for anything and who want unique images, which […]

Slipping Away

Summer is slipping away.  James will be back to school before I know it, and guess what that means?  Brayden will be starting school as well.  Yikes. We went out last night as a family.  Since I’ve been working a lot with photography stuff, we haven’t had a ton of family time, and it makes […]

Papa’s Helper

No doubt about it, my boys love their Gigi and Papa.  We do live an hour and a half away, but lately have been seeing them three weekends a month.  They have a beautiful backyard overlooking part of the Erie Canal–we’ve fished off the dock, we used to own kayaks and kayak from their house, […]
