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.

Jennifer & Lauren { Thompson Park }...

A wonderful Mothers Day Portrait Special with Jennifer and her daughter Lauren in Oswego, NY. We started out at Breitbeck Park and then I followed Jennifer to a fabulous, somewhat hidden location. Rudy's on Lake Ontario in Oswego. Apparently this place is famous and I never knew it existed. I would have never found it without Jennifer, actually not sure if I could find my way back alone again. I'm a pretty bad driver!

I'll be going back to Rudy's very soon with a model or two. I love the big, flat rocks and have to try out the food next time I am there. And my youngest, Emma loves to paint rocks. We usually bring a few back every time I am in Oswego from near the lighthouse.

Senior Portrait Sessions { BLOG }

Senior Sessions: $200

It's your time to SHINE!

Think outside the BOX! Share your ideas with me. Looking for an urban style shoot, vintage, elegant, chic or hip. Let me know and we'll make it happen together. It's all about YOU!

My goal as a photographer is to create images that are different, FASHION-INSPIRED and a great reflection of you! Your session can take place downtown, at a park, beach, in the studio or a combination of locations for images that are as UNIQUE as you!

Still booking 2010 Senior Sessions!

All Senior Sessions Include the following:

2 hour photo shoot on location
Unlimited wardrobe changes
Private on-line gallery
8x10 Print
16 Custom Wallets
MySpace CD
Digital Yearbook Photo or 16 extra wallet prints

***Refer a friend and receive a free 8x10 print from your session!***

Some of the High Schools are now requiring yearbook photos be taken indoors with a gray background. If you choose to have your Senior Session on-location I will be unable to provide the yearbook photo for you. You may however receive an additional 16 wallet prints to replace the yearbook photo. Who doesn't need more wallet prints anyways?

Reena & Haley { BLOG }

A "lifestyle" session at the park with model Reena and her beautiful yellow labrador Haley. We had the perfect fall day for our session, although it was a little windy by the lake. Not great for the hair, lol.

Haley had a great time playing frisbee! She has so much energy and is so well behaved! She really LOVES frisbee and couldn't get enough of it.

A few of my faves from the day...

Blair Family Portraits { BLOG }

A fun, autumn family portrait session at Onondaga Lake Park. I love this family! They have been through so much together and it has made them stronger and closer. And they have more strength and courage than I could ever hope to have.

We had a great time at the park and the kids were so well behaved. I was so proud of Victor for sitting still for so long. I know it is hard for kids that age to do. He did finally get to play on the playground though.

OpLove Homecoming { BLOG }...

I was so honored to be able to capture this emotional Marine Homecoming celebration as part of the Operation Love Reunited organization. It is an experience I will never forget and one of my most rewarding sessions. Over a hundred marines returned to Central New York. It was a huge celebration with food, music and tears.

Tony has been deployed and away from his family for nearly a year! He had never met his new little boy Evan and got to hold him for the first time when he arrived. I cannot even imagine what that is like for him and his wife and children.

Thank you for your courage, sacrifice, dedication and for keeping us all safe! We are so proud of you all.

Angela { boudoir }

A super fun Boudoir session with Angela in the studio. This session is a surprise gift for her boyfriend. Shhh, don't tell.

We really did have a good time during this shoot and ended up hanging out and chatting after the session too.

I really love these Boudoir Portrait Sessions. I think every woman should experience at least one boudoir shoot in their lifetime.

And I have to thank my talented makeup artist, Emily Jock for the amazing job with the makeup. She never lets me down and is always a pleasure to work with.

Portraits in the Park...

My first annual "Portraits in the Park" mini photo sessions at Onondaga Lake Park were a huge success! I had so much fun and I hope the families did too. They were all amazing and I could see the love they all had for each other. I even got a hug from two year old little Jacob. This is why I love my job! Thank you so much for letting me capture some of your precious memories.

I'm already planning a few more of these mini-sessions for 2010.

Urban Kidz - Jaidah {BLOG}

Where do I begin with this spunky little 4 year old! She's the cutest little red haired, freckle-faced kid I know. And smart too. She even told me I didn't know how to count because I always say "one more" and take ten more pictures, lol.

This was for my new Urban Kidz sessions and we shot on location in downtown Syracuse. It's all about fashion for these custom portrait sessions. More details and pricing on my website.

If you like Jaidah she is a local model for AMS Models and Talent. Check out her portfolio on their website.
