Dear Blossom Studios

Cultivating natural beauty in the Flower City

Formed out of friendship, creative collaboration, and a mutual love of nature and the Flower City, Dear Blossom Studios is a Rochester, NY portrait photography studio co-owned by photographer and writer Emma Rizzo and performer and content creator Sammi Cohen. Their shared affinity for the written word and commitment to getting the perfect shot inspired the duo to realize their dream of opening their "proverbial community garden" in August of 2019. Specializing in headshots, boudoir, goddess sessions, and senior portraits, Dear Blossom Studios is an inclusive and supportive space for Rochester, NY portrait photography clients to bloom in front of the camera.

Although many of Emma and Sammi’s favorite shoots have been seasonal in nature, Western New York doesn’t always provide the picture perfect backdrop throughout the entire year. Their carefully curated indoor studio serves as a way to bring the outside in and create beauty in any season, while Dear Blossom's philosophy focuses on providing the nurturing environment clients need to truly blossom.

Above all else, we’re here to support you and allow you to express the truest version of yourself in your portraits.

We believe that everybody (and every body) will bloom in the right environment.

So, dear, blossom with us.
