One Year Anniversary { Syracuse Photographer}

One year ago I officially opened the doors to my photography business. I was hesitant at first, unsure if owning a business would change my feelings about the art. If anything, it's allowed me to meet some incredible people and share my vision even more. Thank you to all my clients for sharing pieces of your life with me, and for putting up with my part-time work schedule. I am looking forward to another year of learning and growth.

*That is me in the photograph.  It's also my birthday so I thought it appropriate to celebrate both.  My husband became my assistant for the day.  XO.

Brother and Sister {Syracuse NY Child Photographer}

After having children the time goes by very quickly.  Unfortunately during that time we never got a chance to visit some dear friends.  Finally we made it a point to travel to see them and their beautiful children.  Of course I got a mini shoot in there.

Magic {ESM Senior 2014, Syracuse Photographer}

The East Syracuse Minoa class of 2014 has some very talented seniors and this is one of them.  This senior enjoys everything from magic to golf.  Even though he was a little sick for the photoshoot he put his best foot forward and was a pleasure to work with... that speaks wonders in my book!

Back to School {Syracuse Child Photography}

On Facebook, I'm watching all of my Southern friends send their children back to school.  Here in Syracuse, we are still enjoying summer.  In a few short weeks my daughter will be starting Kindergarten. ::sigh:: Every morning she asks me how many more days before school. She and I couldn't be more excited and ready. With school on the brain we did a little back-to-school photoshoot. Here's to all the students and educators: work hard, learn lots, and have a great year!

Anna is not only beautiful she is an extremely talented basketball player. In the short time I spent with Anna I can tell she is very dedicated, hardworking, and modest. University of Pennsylvania will be lucky to have you!

A Lovely Lady {Syracuse NY Beauty Photographer}

Mrs. E you are a lovely lady full of energy and spark.  Congrats on your wedding and I enjoyed taking some beautiful photographs of you.

Glamour Photography {Professional Photography Syracuse, NY}

Sometimes I feel as though I neglect my little blog.  With more and more clients I have less time to update.  This may come as a surprise to some, especially my husband, but I am not perfect.  There, I said it.  And sometimes I forget to add a photoshoot to the blog.  Slap me on the wrist with a ruler!  Here is a fabulous photoshoot I did with some fabulous women back in January!  I think these ladies prove that to be beautiful, gorgeous, and just plain sexy does not involve taking your clothes off.

Within the first 5 minutes of Melissa walking in the door I knew it was going to be a fun photo shoot.  Don't let her petiteness fool you, she has a large personality and some pretty cut arms (jealous sigh).  I'm used to women bringing lots of clothes and accessories, and boy did Melissa.  I was instantly back in school helping a girlfriend figure out what she was going to wear Friday night.  And the shoot was just as fun.  Have you ever laughed so hard you cried?  Well that was us!  I'm not about to expose what occurred but I will say that  my next purchase will be an electric fan ;)

And something a tad different...

Soon-to-be mother of 2 {Syracuse,NY Maternity photography}

I always get a little giddy when I hear someone is pregnant.  Call me an old sap but I just love the thought of a new soul being born.  Well this was no exception when I found out Hayley was expecting.  I couldn't wait to photograph her and her handsome (and unbelievably well-behaved) son.  Hayley was such a trooper as I had her sitting, then standing, then laying down, then doing advanced yoga positions.... ok, that's a little much but you get the idea.  And let's not forget her son quietly sitting off to the side playing with his Thomas the train.  I got to learn all their names and even watch him perform some Karate moves while mom was changing.  Such a wonderful photo shoot and I can't wait to meet the little one.  Can you guess what she's having?
