OUTDOOR SPACE

IN JUNE OF 2022 MY HUSBAND AND I TOOK A LEAP OF FAITH AND PURCHASED A 190 YEAR OLD COBBLESTONE FARMHOUSE ABOUT 25 MINUTES OUTSIDE OF ROCHESTER, NY.

This slice of pastoral paradise, set on 5 acres of gardens, mature trees, and pastures surrounded by farmland, is a beautiful backdrop for your next session. I started offering our property as a shooting location in the summer of 2022. Since then, I have captured proposals, engagement sessions, maternity sessions, and many family sessions. I feel so inspired by the park-like setting. I have been able to study the light and land in all seasons. The ease of parking and privacy are the cherry on top. This could be a fantastic option if you are looking for a natural setting for your session.

My favorite places to shoot

East Pasture

Previously, pastures for horses are now home to wildflowers and tall grasses. The East pastures offer unobstructed sunrise views and the most beautiful glowy light around sunset.

West Meadow

It's one of my favorite locations on the property! The West meadow is the perfect location as the sun is setting. There is nothing but acres of meadow, farmland, and mature trees in this backdrop.

Gardens

Something always seems to be blooming around the home in the warmer months. We are the caretakers of mature lilac trees, ponies, wildflowers, and more. A small pond in the back garden or even the exterior cobblestone walls make excellent locations to capture your next session.

  • "I am so grateful to Whitney for capturing those memories for us."

    “We had a family/maternity shoot with Whitney last August. Before the session was even scheduled, she took the time to fully understand what I was looking for and what I wanted to accomplish with these photos. They were our last photos as a family of 4 before we welcomed our third daughter and they were extremely special to us. When the date came, it had rained and it was horribly humid- Whitney, being a toddler mom herself, fully understood that my girls would NOT tolerate walking through the wet field as well as the humidity. It was no issue adjusting the date and our actual session date was perfect. From the moment we arrived at her house, Whitney treated us like we were old friends. The session was relaxed, not rushed, and she made us feel so comfortable. She must be magical, because my twins were so well behaved and followed every direction she gave. Family photos can be so stressful but our experience was the exact opposite. Not to mention- the photos we received were absolutely gorgeous. I am so grateful to Whitney for capturing those memories for us and would, without a doubt, recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.”

frequently asked

  • 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!

  • Location selection is chosen in collaboration with you! We base our selection on your vision for the images, time of day, and time of year.

  • 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.
