About Us

A beautiful portrait will be a precious possession to be admired, loved and remembered forever. Fine portraits make a wonderful contribution to home decor and add warmth and pleasure of gracious living. Beautiful portraits of those you love give lasting pleasure for years to come.

Family portraits remain as documents for future generations but always have immediate value as well. A large wall portrait of your family captures that time in your lives forever, and will be the focal point of your room and a conversation piece. A family portrait makes a special gift that becomes more precious as the years pass.

Whether your family is young or grown...the opportunity to record a personality may not always be. If you have a single child or a houseful, begin your collection of portraits for each of them. Groups are great...but nothing is more valuable in the long run than an individual portrait. Family structures and relationships change, but the true heirloom portrait always has an appropriate place in this and all future generations.

Larry A. Rocco has been creating family heirloom style portraiture and photographing children, seniors, and weddings in Rome and Utica, New York since 1981. Larry, having the knowledge of a seasoned professional, is always searching for the most flattering lighting techniques, styles and posing.

In his portraits, your attention is solely drawn to the natural beauty of the subject using European style lighting techniques, never resorting to cheap gimmicks or artificial backgrounds found most often in department store photography.

We invite all that are interested to our studio for a consultation to explain what to expect during a session, cost, and how the images will be viewed afterward.

Consider a gift card for the family of a newborn, anniversary or any holiday.

Celebrate Life with a Professional Portrait...matted, framed and ready for your wall.
