Great Ideas for Family Photography in Rochester

Fall is widely regarded as one of the best times for family photographs: The weather is favorable, the autumn colors make a picturesque backdrop, and the prints come back in time for Christmas gifts and cards.

A bunch of good-looking models? No, the Ross familyIn a region that bills itself the Imaging Capital of the World, can it be true that we have found one of the best? We think so. Honey DeLapa, owner of DeLapa Photography in Hilton, is one of the greater Rochester area's premiere family photographers. For over 20 years, she has been capturing priceless memories for families, and turning skeptics like my husband into True Believers. This summer, she not only provided the Ross family with our first-ever real family photographs (see story below), but she also took the time to provide the KidsOutAndAbout.com site with some great tips, whether you're taking your own family photos or entrusting yourself to a professional.

Before our experience with DeLapa Photography, this was our only family photo, from 2 years ago. A friend took it with a digital camera:

We decided we needed some "real" photos, but always put it off. Fortunately, Honey contacted me as a result of my involvement with KidsOutAndAbout.com, and it was what finally prompted me to do it! Our photo session was in July 2003 at Lake Ontario, and in addition to the photo on the top of this page, here are some of the great results:
