Where to take headshots in Rochester
Highland Park
Brendan shoots hereRolling lawns, the lilac collection, and shaded paths near the Lamberton Conservatory. Brendan's go-to for spring portraits.
High Falls and the Pont de Rennes Bridge
A 96-foot waterfall in the middle of downtown with a pedestrian bridge overlooking it. Great for dramatic city portraits.
Genesee Riverway Trail
River views, bridges, and the downtown skyline, with plenty of room to walk between setups.

Historic homes, brick sidewalks, and colorful storefronts for a relaxed urban look.
Timing tip: Highland Park peaks in mid-May during Lilac Festival season. Downtown spots look best in the hour before sunset when the buildings glow.
