AT THE FARMHOUSE
In June of 2022, my husband and I took a leap of faith and purchased a 190-year-old cobblestone farmhouse just outside of Rochester, New York. Set on five acres of gardens, mature trees, and open pastureland, our home is surrounded by quiet farmland and offers a truly peaceful, pastoral setting.
I began offering our property as a session location shortly after, and it has quickly become one of my favorite places to photograph. From proposals and engagements to maternity and family sessions, this space provides a beautiful, natural backdrop that changes with the seasons. The light, the land, and the sense of calm continue to inspire me, and I’ve spent years learning how each corner of the property shines throughout the year.
With easy parking, complete privacy, and a park-like feel, this location is a wonderful option for families looking for a relaxed, natural setting without the distractions of a public space. It’s a place where sessions can unfold comfortably and organically, allowing space for connection and meaningful moments.
My favorite places to shoot
East Pasture
Once used as horse pastures, these fields are now filled with wildflowers and tall grasses. The eastern pastures offer open sunrise views and are bathed in the most beautiful, glowy light as the sun sets.
Gardens
During the warmer months, something is always in bloom around the home. We care for mature lilac trees, ponies, wildflowers, and a thoughtfully curated garden designed specifically for photography. With both wildflower and cut-flower sections blooming from June through September, along with a small pond in the back garden and exterior cobblestone walls, the property offers a variety of beautiful, natural backdrops for your next session.
West Meadow
One of my favorite locations on the property, the West Meadow truly shines at sunset. Surrounded by acres of open meadow, farmland, and mature trees, the backdrop feels both expansive and timeless.

Yes, your family dog is allowed and welcome to join in the session. However, we do live on a main road and often have hens who free range in our yard. A leash and an extra person to help with your pup while you enjoy the session is recommended!

In my opinion, all seasons are beautiful. The landscape changes with the seasons to offer variety all year long. Mature trees give us a blaze of color in the fall. It’s a winter wonderland after a snowfall. Spring and summer are bursting with blooms and greenery.
