Here Comes Baby { Syracuse Maternity Photographer }...

A wonderful maternity session with Miss Amanda in the studio. She is expecting her first child and agreed to model for a Maternity Portfolio session with my East Coast Artists group. And I'm so happy she did, she was just glowing and up for pretty much anything.

Thank you for driving three hours in the snow to shoot with us. And a big thank you to HolliAnn for referring Miss Amanda to us and joining us for this session.

Photographers: John, Vanessa, Jared and myself. See more from this session here.

"Portraits in the Park" { 2010 }

A few previews from my second annual fall "Portraits in the Park" promotion. I choose Onondaga Lake Park in Liverpool again for this years settings. It's such a beautiful location! I must say though I was a little disappointed with the colors this year. I'll stick to mid-October for next years sessions. And I was really bummed that the playground was closed and under construction!

But we made the best of it and had some beautiful autumn weather and seven gorgeous families! Check them out below!

Amy & Family ( Fathers Day Special )...

I had the pleasure of photographing this wonderful family at Oneida Shores in Brewerton as a Fathers Day gift for dad! I had fun walking around the beach and capturing the love of this family. They were so sweet and so real and so BEAUTIFUL. And they are the reason I love my job so much. Thank you!

Here are a few of my favorites.

Lauren & Kennedy { oplove }...

Another military wife waiting for the safe return of her husband. Another precious child waiting for her daddy to hug and kiss her again. Another wonderful Operation Love ReUnited session. I'm so grateful for the sacrifices these families make each and every day. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I met Lauren and 8 1/2 month old Kennedy at Thompson Park in Watertown, NY for our portrait session. We were blessed to have warm sunshine and a cool breeze at the park while we were shooting. And little Kennedy was such a trooper and so happy. Oh and mom picked out the most perfect outfit for her too. She must have known I love bright colors, lol.

We spent over an hour at Thompson Park playing on the playground, walking around and just enjoying the sunshine.

Jennifer & Joey at the Park...

I had the pleasure of photographing Jennifer & Joey at Onondaga Lake Park a few days ago. Dad even joined us for a little bit. They booked one of my Mothers Day Specials and we had a great time capturing some new memories and even a few "Mommy Moments" for them.

I'm not one for the cheesy, boring, posed portraits so always prefer to shoot kids and families outdoors on location rather than in the studio. It just makes for real and natural images and thats what I want to capture. The kids can be themselves and just enjoy the experience.

And I'm pretty sure four year old Joey was one of the fastest kids I've ever shot, lol. Just when I would get the camera up to my eye, he would take off and move on to explore something else. Thankfully I'm pretty fast too!

My oldest daughter Kayla also joined us to capture the session on video and created a beautiful montage for the family. Click here to watch their video. Mom said she cried a little bit when she watched it and to be completely honest, I did too!

A Day at the Park { OpLove }...

Another beautiful Operation Love Reunited family from Fort Drum! I have been so busy with these sessions the last few months. Word is really spreading around Central New York about this wonderful organization and the service we provide for these families.

We met at Onondaga Lake Park for our shoot and were fortunate to have gorgeous weather too. It's a really great place for documentary style portraiture and the playground is always a favorite for the kids.

I'm sure dad will love receiving an album full of pictures of his family while he is deployed. It's a little piece of home while he is away serving our country.
