CHOOSE TO REMEMBER
Marie Bohn Photography is a Batavia, N.Y. Family photographer. Families from Buffalo, N.Y. and Rochester, N.Y. have been photographed by Marie Bohn. Her approach to photographing families is to play games and create a natural, but fun experience.
When I started photography I was so afraid to photograph families. Now, I LOVE IT! Especially when you get that family that just "knows" what to do. This family was amazing to work with and so fun! Let's not forget to mention how adorable their little guy is. Take a look at a few images from their gallery.
They are so laid back, easy to work with, and fun! Mom contacted me a while back about doing maternity/newborn photos. I expressed to her that I only offer lifestyle newborn photos. She was totally on board and I have to say, I'm in love with all of their images. Big sister was so sweet to her baby sister. She loved giving her sweet kisses and "attempted" to hold her as best she could.
Also, can we give mom a big shout out at how amazing she looks?! She's really pulling off this mom of a newborn way better than I did.
Lifestyle photography is so beautiful and raw. As a newborn lifestyle photographer in Batavia NY, I love how much more comfortable my families are in their own home; especially the children. Another great thing about lifestyle photography is that should the family move to another home, they have these images to share with their little ones as they get older and can show them where they came home from the hospital, what their nursery looked like as a baby, their bedrooms as they became a toddler and so on. I love looking back on old photos from when I was a kid and seeing the different homes we lived in as we grew up. It's really cool to see and memories come flooding back from that time in my life.
Thank you, Metzler family, for sharing this amazing time in your life with me. I am so honored to have been chosen to be your newborn lifestyle photographer in Batavia, N.Y. Check out a few hand selected images from their gallery below.

I'm tired.
This photography business is TOUGH! It's a grind every. single. day!
I started photography because I loved it, and because I wanted to have great photos for my kids to look back on one day. Since starting, photography has been an uphill battle. This industry is loaded with SOOOOOO many amazingly talented people that it's easy to doubt yourself. I am in constant wonder what do I need to do to stand out from the crowd? I am starting to lose my why. Why I started photography in the first place. I seldom grab my camera to document a moment these days, rather, to market it, or to find away to make the image relate-able to my fan base. It's no longer fun; it's work! Now, don't get me wrong, I never thought this was going to be easy, and I definitely knew that work is work no matter the field, but if you get to choose what you want to do, you should enjoy it.
This passion and business will always be here, my family will as well, but they're in a constant state of change. My kids will NEVER be this little again, and it's time to savor it; savor their youth; savor their innocence. It's time to throw up the white flag, and step down; for my family.
So if you're reading this, thank you! Thank you for your support. Thank you for your commitment. And most of all, thank you for making it all the way to the end because here you will find out that today's April 1st, and you know what that means......
I LOVE the hell out of this business, and my kids get plenty of mom time, and if any of you know me, you know that I document everything! What I stated above about my kids is absolutely true, and they will never be this little again, so that is my why and I will never lose that.
-Happy April Fools Day!-
My heart is so full just looking at these images. This family is just perfect! I was greeted immediately by mom and her 2 small children; smiles from cheek to cheek. This is not always the case when I do on-location shooting. Little ones can typically be a little reserved and shy, but not on this day! That is one of the benefits to doing a lifestyle session. The kids start out way more relaxed. Another benefit now that we are starting to roll into the colder months here in Western NY, is that we get to stay nice and cozy inside. Dad was even prepping a nice toasty fire.
I don't really need to speak more about why I love being a Western NY lifestyle photographer because I feel these image will do that for me. Scroll down and have a look.

Today I am headed out to a lifestyle session. The thing I LOVE about being a Western NY lifestyle photographer is getting to capture a family in the place they spend a lot of their time together. Where they have had many laughs, many tears, many family meals, and many adventures. I get to bundle all of that up and showcase them in photographs. Photographs they'll look back on and remember that couch that had the stain on the underside of the cushion from the time they shared sundaes as a family. The kitchen they prepared holiday meals together in. The bed they shed tears together in and most important; the rooms they brought their brand new babies home to.
When I look at photographs from when I was a child, I don't just look at the people in them, I look at everything else too! Why you wonder? The objects in the photo typically flood me with memories and I love that! I feel as though I am re-living that moment all over again.
