Posted on February 28, 2010
Hooray! It’s the last of the overdue sneak peeks! Catching up on everything has been brutal – I’ve still got the nagging cough and sore throat. I may actually break down and head to the doctor tomorrow.
But enough about me. This post is about Marie and Chris, who are expecting their first child next month! They already know it’s a boy, and after seeing his nursery I hope he’s a sports fan! LOL
Can you guess what his name will be?
Marie practices her rocking skills. 
Hey guys, I hope these last few weeks go smoothly, and that Joseph arrives with “Marriner speed.” 
Good luck, and I can’t wait to meet your new little bundle!
Myles at Six Months | Syracuse Child Photographer
Posted on February 25, 2010
I can’t believe how much Myles has grown since his newborn session! He’s got such a sweet, easy-going personality. Not to mention the fact that he’s too cute for words!!
I love the surprised look on his face in this one. Cracks me up.
Here’s something I used to love soooooo much when my guys were this age – sloppy smoochies!!
Oh yeah, he’s a charmer all right.
We tired him right out, so he took a little snooze with his mama.
Oooooh, more feet! Don’t you just want to munch on those little toes??
Introducing Jaxson | Syracuse Newborn Photographer
Posted on February 24, 2010
Oh, Jaxson. I have been waiting for his arrival for months. You may remember his sisters and brother from last summer. At the end of the session, their mom let me in on the big secret – number four was on the way. I squealed in delight and immediately started planning for this newborn session. And it was worth the wait! Not only is he adorable, he was a good baby for me and slept almost the whole time.
Oh, and he makes the most insanely cute faces!
Completely sacked out in my teacup.
New hats! I’ve found an extremely talented woman who has been knitting me all kinds of sweet new hats for newborns. I’ll be getting some in bigger sizes as well, so stay tuned for those.
Another funny face. Dontcha just wanna smoooooooch him??
Congrats to the whole family on your new addition! Can’t wait to see you all again!
Introducing Carmen | Syracuse Newborn Photographer
Posted on February 22, 2010
I am so far behind on sneak peeks! My apologies to all of the families who have been waiting so patiently. This cold has been kicing my butt!
This is little Miss Carmen. She was twelve days old when these were taken, and she was already quite the little diva. She wasn’t very interested in sleeping; there’s no time to sleep when you have a house to rule!
This is how she preferred to operate – relaxed, laid-back, but always with one eye on the crazy camera lady.
One of those rare moments when she did nod off. I love the little nose, the sweet little mouth, and especially the baby fuzz on her back.
Oh, and my obsession with feet is showing again. I just love those little piggies!
Ian is Two! | Syracuse Child Photographer
Posted on February 13, 2010
Oh, how much I love this family! I first met Ian and his parents a year ago, for Ian’s one-year photos. Today was our third session, and I had a great time with them – again! Ian has the coolest parents any kid could ask for. Who else would clear out the dining room and fill it up with balloons? We had a blast tossing them around and running through them and trying not to pop them!
Oh, it’s the giant cupcake maker thing that Griffin is always bugging me for! Too bad I’m not as nice as Ian’s mom.
Happy Birthday Ian! I hope you have a great time at your party!
Peyton at 6 Months | Syracuse Child Photographer
Posted on February 10, 2010
I can’t believe how quickly they grow! You may remember Peyton from her newborn session. She was such a sweet little baby. And look at her now! Such a big girl, and with a little bit of the diva in her! She refused to give me smiles as long as the camera was around. Apparently this is something she does with every camera, not just mine. Little stinker! But by the end I did manage to get a little bit of a grin out of her.
This is the look I got from her for most of the session – complete boredom. Just toooo cool to smile. Love it.
Here she’s starting to warm up to me. And can I just say what a perfect little mouth she has??
Look, it’s almost a smile!
Thanks for playing with me Peyton! I can’t wait to see how much you grow between now and your one-year session!
Julia
Posted on December 28, 2009
I can’t believe how much Julia has grown since her newborn session! And I want to thank her family for waiting so patiently for this sneak peek. The holiday rush is finally over, and I can get back to fun things like this!
I love it when we can include the parents’ bed in some of the pictures. Kids seem to have so much fun playing on them!
Peek-a-boo!
Julia also had fun in the tub.
Love the little tongue!
This hat and the look on her face just kill me.
And I got to be there for Julia’s first experience with snow! She did not seem overly impressed.
But being pulled around on the sled was kind of fun.
Thanks for playing with me Julia! I can’t wait to see you at your one year session. And thanks again for being so patient, Mom & Dad!
Those eyes!

Meet Janae. She’s six months old, and she has the most incredibly beautiful eyes. Ever.
See, told you!!
Do you know what Janae loves? Her fingers! Not all of her fingers, just these two. And she looks so darn cute with them stuck in her mouth!
Six months old, and already posing.
This time we dressed up the teacup shot a little bit.
Love this one, with the mussed up hair and those insanely big eyes!
Thanks Janae! I had fun playing with you and I can’t wait to see how much you grow in the next six months!
Family Time
Posted on November 16, 2009
What a gorgeous weekend it was! We couldn’t have asked for a nicer mid-November day for this session. You may recognize at least one member of this family – I’ve photographed her a few (hundred) times before. But this time it was the whole family.
Can I just tell you how much I love this stone wall? I need one at my house.
Big sis.
Little bro.
You don’t even want to know how this shot ended. One pushes back too hard, then the other retaliates… If you have more than one kid then you’ll understand.
Possibly my favorite shot of the day. Love, love, love the casual feel to it.
Cousins
Posted on November 9, 2009
Yesterday I got to hang out with these six cousins. You may recognize Olivia from Taylor’s senior update shoot last month (and you’ll be seeing more of her for her senior pics next year!), and Caroline is the girl with the lilacs – one of my favorite pics of all time. Andrew has somehow managed to avoid my camera until now. Joining them were their cousins Matt, Nick, and Zach. We were blessed with an absolutely gorgeous autumn day. I wish this weather would last for months! Here are a few of my favorites from the day…
Trying to get Caroline to smile…
Smooch the little sister!!
These guys were a little more challenging. Getting Matt to smile was nearly impossible. But I got one!
The whole crew.
Piggy-back ride back to the car.
An out-take from my favorite shot of the day. I’ve been told that when they all were little kids, they had their picture taken on this slide, all lined up. We attempted to recreate that picture, but without breaking the slide! The slide survived, and you can see how much fun we had trying to get the shot.
