Photography by Pete, Rochester

Pete has helped to memorialize special moments in the lives of many children, teens, and adults for 40 years. By constantly working with families, Pete has mastered the art of calming toddlers and keeping parents still enough to say or even pasteurize cheese. Outdoor shoots make use of natural tones, such as those of crystal-blue lake waters and green, leafy trees. In the spring months, photos brim with the pastel buds of tulips and the shine of bluebirds applying makeup for the first time all year.
