Lifestyle is a type of photography in between traditional (posed) + documentary (unposed). Capturing families with this style of photography is ideal. I guide my clients through each session so each family has time to play and enjoy each other instead of worrying about where to look or what to do. Let me show you how easy it can be. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed436a80eac780e6acde98b/1592239597344-WG7HNFU6AB2N5GYICQK7/Family_Photography_Photographer_Rochester_NY_Portraits_Newborn_Baby_Erica_Loewenguth_Photography_Nells_Family_Backyard_Mendon.jpg Home - When you work with me… each year you will collect framed prints + linen albums filled with your favorite photos that will become cherished heirlooms. Pieces of a puzzle gathered year after to year to look at and tell the story of your family. A record of how incredible it is to have each other. The love you felt. The experiences you enjoyed. Together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed436a80eac780e6acde98b/1596113316582-AHCTBXWWLO8LYJ6F61SG/Family_Photography_Photographer_Rochester_NY_Portraits_Newborn_Baby_Erica_Loewenguth_Photography_Dougherty_Family_Webster_Park.jpg.jpg Home - Erica is a brilliant photographer and absolutely wonderful to work with.

I have learned that children don’t judge. They just want to feel good. I try to make sure my daughters as well as all children I interact with during my sessions feel joyful, happy, seen + loved as much as possible. Life isn’t always perfect. I make my share of mistakes. But like you, I do the best I can. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed436a80eac780e6acde98b/1595355572632-ED7LGU71ID73AGN3JVOG/Family_Photography_Photographer_Rochester_NY_Portraits_Newborn_Baby_Erica_Loewenguth_Photography_Loewenguth_Family_Mendon_2.jpg About - “Erica’s skill is a rarity - capturing real, natural moments and freezing them in time.

The first step in the process is to find a date that works well for you. Once your date is selected, a signed contract, completed questionnaire and a session fee of $250 secures your date on my calendar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed436a80eac780e6acde98b/1595959570970-TD68YE6OWU0YU5RQECFY/Final+Armbruster-7.jpg Family Session Pricing - Step 3. Session day! YAY! Do what you can the night before - lay out clothes, pack snacks and pack your bag. I recommend having kiddos try on their clothes ahead of time and if you have a picky little one like I do, have a backup outfit ready - just in case. Don’t forget - you need time to get ready too! If needed, get up before your family. No judgment if extra screen time is involved. Eat! No one likes taking photos on an empty stomach. Take a look at your session checklist and make sure you’re not forgetting anything. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Family Session Pricing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Family Session Pricing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Family Session Pricing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed436a80eac780e6acde98b/1591563308189-UD68JPIPY3Y09CWWNQ2H/Erica+Loewenguth+Rochester+NY+Family+Photographer-1.jpg Family Session Pricing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed436a80eac780e6acde98b/8147ecb3-83c0-45ef-a2d6-0ce0509973b9/Screen+Shot+2021-11-07+at+11.43.56+AM.png Family Session Pricing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed436a80eac780e6acde98b/7bfacf93-d13b-4317-bc56-4f4b205584b1/Screen+Shot+2021-11-07+at+11.44.10+AM.png Family Session Pricing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed436a80eac780e6acde98b/f43b70a6-16a6-41db-9374-6269bec512e0/Screen+Shot+2021-11-07+at+12.00.36+PM.png Family Session Pricing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed436a80eac780e6acde98b/bbe868b2-27de-4215-b95f-340a7b0a2a2e/Screen+Shot+2021-11-07+at+11.44.50+AM.png Family Session Pricing https://www.elphoto.com/2022-mini-session-prep-guide daily 0.75 2022-10-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed436a80eac780e6acde98b/81bdbc6b-4db3-4248-a717-62d4586eec78/Lau+Family-2.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed436a80eac780e6acde98b/1664823094272-XHVW8YPTBHXP07I8UQTJ/unsplash-image-dlxLGIy-2VU.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed436a80eac780e6acde98b/1664822430504-81ZAOSRDJFE0BVMJRA93/Nells_Family-17.jpg 2022 Mini Session Prep Guide https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed436a80eac780e6acde98b/1664822410516-6K2JX1528GECH7SD47GC/Nells_Family-20.jpg 2022 Mini Session Prep Guide
