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!

My Favorites of 2009 | Wee Ones

Posted on December 28, 2009

To celebrate the end of 2009, I have chosen some of my favorite images from this year. I’ll start with the newborns, those sweet little bundles with their soft skin and their funny faces. They are a joy to photograph, and I love to watch them grow throughout the year. I would like to thank all of the moms & dads who have entrusted me with their little ones’ first pictures.

Here are my favorite newborn pictures of 2009…

Little Miss Q

Posted on October 19, 2009

Well, I think I’ve left Quinn’s family waiting long enough! I’m so sorry that this sneak peek has been delayed so long. But let me tell you folks, you do NOT want to get the flu bug that is going around – even sitting at the computer wears you out! I’ve heard that little Quinn has been sick, too. So sick that she ended up in the hospital! She’s better now, and home with her family where she belongs. I’m hoping she continues to stay healthy, and that nobody else in her house gets sick.

And now, on to the pictures! Isn’t Quinn a sweetie?

This is her big brother Duncan. I can’t believe how much he has grown since I took his pictures last year!

Here’s Mom all snuggled up with her babies. You can tell that Duncan loves his little sister already.

M. family, I hope you guys like your sneak peek, and I’m sorry again for the delay!

Introducing Quinn

Posted on October 9, 2009

Meet Quinn, a sweet little bundle and only nine days new. I promised her mom and gramma at least one picture before I head out of town this evening, so here it is. I’ll post a better sneak peek next week.

And since I will be out of town for the long weekend, there will be no Flashback Friday post tonight. It will be back next week, I promise! I won’t be processing any sessions while I’m away, but I will still be returning emails and checking phone messages.

See you all Tuesday!

Introducing Peyton

Posted on August 16, 2009

This is the long-awaited sneak peek of little Miss Peyton, my newest Bundle of Joy baby. I was right in the middle of working on these when my old computer died. I have been very anxious to get back to them!

Peyton was just five days new when these pictures were taken. She was such a good little girl for these pics. She was awake for a few at the beginning, but then she conked out and let us do pretty much anything we wanted (this is why it’s always best to do newborn sessions when they are brand-new). And can you believe that beautiful head of hair? I love her pretty little curls!

I want to thank Peyton’s family for giving me the opportunity to photograph their beautiful little girl. I can’t wait to see her again at her six-month session!

Project 365 – Day 221

Posted on August 9, 2009

A mini-sneak peek for Peyton’s family, and also my 365 pic since I have nothing else interesting to photograph today. Tried out a new texture. I think I like it.

A longer Peyton sneak peek is coming soon!

Another peek at Julia

Posted on August 1, 2009

I was just finishing up Julia’s pictures, and I came across this one. I think I have a new favorite! And the best part is that it was one of those “accidental” shots, not at all what I had originally intended when I was shooting that particular bunch of pictures. I love happy accidents!

Introducing Myles

Posted on July 24, 2009

This is Myles. He’s the one we were waiting for a couple of weeks ago. And now he’s here! He’s seven days old today, and he’s such a sweetie.

He has the cutest little mouth.

And he makes the funniest faces!

Best of all, he let us put him in my teacup! He wasn’t particularly thrilled with the situation, but he let us do it.

I don’t think this baby is loved at all. Doesn’t Mathew just look like the proudest big brother ever?

And one of my favorite shots of the day – everyone’s feet! It looks like Myles is trying to tickle Makayla.

And here he is in his favorite place – snuggling up to Mom.

Meet Julia

Posted on July 16, 2009

This is Julia. I was supposed to do some maternity portraits of her mom a few months back, but Julia decided to arrive early. The day before the portrait session, in fact. Little stinker!

Now Julia is three months old. And let me tell you, this little girl has some very strong opinions! Opinions such as, “There’s no way I’m getting in that teacup, lady.” So, no teacup pics today.

She only slept for about five minutes the whole time I was there, but it was long enough for me to grab this shot of her. It’s now one of my favorites. I love her little mouth!

And of course we dressed her up in one of my tutus. Such a pretty girl!

And although she was pretty stingy with the smiles, I did manage to catch a couple of them.

But overall, I think this is Julia’s opinion of having her picture taken…
