No Body Is Perfect ... Models Needed

Does this sound like you? 
"I'm fat." 
"I wish I could just lose those last 10 pounds."
"I'm ugly."
"I wish my face would stop breaking out."
"I hate my legs."
"I hate my arms." 
... the list of things we hate, wish we could change about ourselves or think about our own self-image is on-going and usually not very positive and anxiety can get the best of some of us at times. 
Myself included. Too often, from my own mouth, do I hear words similar to those above; I am on a journey to heal from the negative words that I hear come out of my mouth about my body, you know the ones when I say them, my husband looks at me like I've got 12 heads, because they just aren't true, but the psychological torture that we put ourselves through is very real and often times, unnecessary. 
If this sounds like you, please read on...

A few years ago, I began thinking about a project that I wanted to do, and am finally in a place where I can get it accomplished and prepare for a gallery show: 
"No Body Is Perfect"

Details: I am looking for volunteers to help me on a project of healing to include in a gallery show. It is all about the body.  Your body.  The part of you that you wish would just disappear.  Whether it is a literal or interpreted representation (ie, the mind), I want to capture it. This project is for women and men over the age of 18 only; images can be taken showing your face, or without, while the purpose of this is to complete a project, the context is completely up to you.  The photos will be displayed with a brief story about the person in the photos (names can be excluded if requested).
If you would like to participate, are willing to sign a release to have the photos printed and displayed at a gallery show, please contact me at christine@lifetimememoriesnwy.com, call or text 716-608-5539 to schedule your session.  I will begin shooting in May.  All participants will receive a printed copy of the photo chosen and story after the gallery show.  Participants will be able to help choose which photo is selected for the show, as well. 
Love starts with yourself, from there, you can go anywhere.

Lifetime Memories Photography Grand Opening


After taking a sabbatical for a few years, Lifetime Memories Photography is coming back full force in 2019! 

Owner Christine Pilarski is excited to announce that Lifetime Memories Photography celebrated their official grand opening on 4/13/19, 4/14/19 & 4/20/19. 

After many years of being an on-location or home studio, we are happy to announce that we finally have a studio to call our own! 


We are located at 1840 Clinton St., Buffalo, NY 14206, in the heart of Kaisertown, where we were warmly welcomed by the Kaisertown Friends AssociationPilar LandscapingHouse of Hips, and the Easter Bunny! 

You can find our building by the mural on the side (when coming from Bailey Ave.), painted by the amazing Vinny Alejandro of Urban Inspirations!


Our goal is to offer photographic services at an affordable price!  We know that everyone loves professional photos, but cannot always afford to break the bank just to get them, that's why we are excited to say that our prices start at $75, and we are currently offering a grand opening special of $25 off mini and half sessions and $50 off full sessions through the end of May.

You can book your session today by visiting our website https://lifetimememorieswny.com/appointments. A $25 non-refundable booking fee is required at the time of booking. You can also call our studio at (716) 608-5539 to schedule your session. 

We will also be offering classes that show you how to use your camera on the manual settings, studio lighting basics, using photoshop and many other classes. Visit our website to secure your place in one of our classes. 




Lifetime Memories Photography is officially an LLC, filed in the state of NY in March of 2019.  We've got our business insurance tucked away nicely in our back pockets and are ready to get back in the saddle! 




During our grand opening, we saw many smiling faces, which we hope to be photographing REALLY soon!!!  See some of our visitors below!




A big CONGRATULATIONS goes out to Kathy Sullivan who was the winner of our Grand Opening Raffle for a free half session!

We hope to see you soon smiling in front of our camera!!!!
