Ava :: Cutie Pie :: Syracuse NY Child & Family Photographer

Sweet Ava.  With those beautiful blue eyes.  Such a doll.  Such a beautiful family.  They came out to the house so we could use my fields and barn as a backdrop.  It is definitely my favorite place to shoot.  The scenery seems to change out here week to week, and for their session we had a garden of day lilies. We have beautiful light in the early morning, but we also have exceptional light in the evenings.  Enough about that - back to this cutie pie!

My cousin and his beautiful, funny, and kind family came out to the new house to play in our fields!  Bella and Nate are a riot.  So sweet, so down to earth, and best beds.  It was such a nice experience to watch them run around, explore the yard, and keep us all entertained.  I had a hard time narrowing down which photos to share!

Sloane & Briar :: Cutie Pies :: Syracuse, NY Child Photographer

This session was from last month, but I was waiting to post because the photos were a Father's Day surprise!  Do you think Daddy is a Jets fan?!  We had a great time playing in the park and these girls are just too cute for words.  They both recently celebrated their birthdays so we were sure to get in photos documenting their ages.  I love how they all turned out!  Oh, and skinny jeans on toddlers?  Puh-lease.  

Gigi :: Syracuse NY Child Photographer

Gigi!  She literally looks just like a beautiful blonde-haired blue-eyed doll.  And the eyelet top?  Adorable.  Such a sweetie.  But boy can this girl run!  I got an early morning workout with her, but am thrilled with how the images turned out.  I hope they put a smile on your face too.

Claire & Natalie :: Syracuse NY Newborn Baby Photographer

This session came together at the last minute and I am so glad it did!  Sisters hold a very special place in my heart, and it was so great to meet Claire and Natalie.  They will always share a bond that no one else will ever truly know or understand.  "A sister is a forever friend."

Chillin'!  She loved the rocking chair.I caught a smile!

Cutie Pie Abby :: Syracuse NY Family & Child Photographer

Abby came into the studio to celebrate her first birthday!  This took a couple of reschedules because her birthday outfit had some shipping problems - but you can see it was well worth the wait.  So fun!  We had a blast doing her cake smash session too.  Fun and just a wee bit messy.  Enjoy!

Cutie Pie Isabelle :: Syracuse NY Family & Child Photographer

Remember a couple of weeks ago when it was so hot out you thought you would melt?  I certainly do!  We did this photo session on one of those days.  Isabelle was a trooper - we were shooting at the hottest point of the day.  Isn't she the cutest?  Can you believe all of that hair?!  It is gorgeous!  She was such a little model and SO stylish in her little yellow peacoat.  I had such a great time working with this family!

Cutie Pie Devy :: Elmira NY Family & Child Photographer

I just LOVE Devy!  I met her when she was about 6 months old and I am so glad I have had the opportunity to watch her grow!  She made the trip all the way up from Elmira to see me for the mini-sessions.  Don't you just want to kiss those cheeks?!

Cutie Pie Ava :: Syracuse NY Family & Child Photographer

Here is a familiar face for you!  Ava recently called me her BFF  - how adorable is that?  She clearly has a special place in my heart.  She was my very first mini-session of the day and we had fun playing together!

From serious...To smiley!Love this outtake! 

Cutie Pie Natalie :: Syracuse NY Family & Child Photographer

Natalie is a happy happy baby!  She returned to the studio for her (almost) 6 month photos.  Those blue eyes light up the room and her smile is just adorable.  I love all the bubbles.

Cutie Pie JJ :: Syracuse NY Family & Child Photographer

How stinkin' cute is JJ?!  Not only is he adorable, he is a sweetheart too.  It was a pleasure meeting him and his momma.  This was also the first opportunity I had to use this chair my husband made me out of an old suitcase.  I love how it turned out, and it was perfect for JJ.

He loved this little wagon and didn't want to put it down the whole session.Beautiful.

You might recognize a few of these pretty faces from another family session I did over Thanksgiving weekend.  I had the pleasure of working with Sarah, Joe and cutie pie Christian two days in a row!   This was another great session - this family is just plain HAPPY.  Can you feel it?  Such a pleasure working with them!

Family Fun :: Syracuse NY Family & Child Photographer

We were fortunate to have an absolutely beautiful Thanksgiving Day weekend in Syracuse this year.  We snuck this family session in right before the weather was supposed to turn bad.  I'm glad we did!  The boys kept us running the whole time but were so fun to play with - they are so sweet.

Cutie Pie Lucy :: Syracuse NY Child Photographer

Making her debut allllllll they way from Chicago - meet Cutie Pie Lucy!  Such a doll face, right?!  Lucy was also the first cutie pie to try out my indoor studio space.  This was a great session - especially because I got to see an old friend.

Awaiting Baby D :: Syracuse NY Maternity & Child Photographer

This momma is one of my dear friends and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to do some pictures of her and big sister Claire before it got too chilly out.  I am so excited to meet this peanut in December!

Cutie Pie Devin :: Syracuse NY Baby Photographer

These are the bluest blue eyes and the sweetest cheeks I have seen in a long time!  Devin is such a happy playful little girl with an awesome wardrobe!  Momma sure does know how to dress her.  And I can't leave out her puppies!  I'm calling this first picture my Christmas Miracle because all 3 of them are actually in it!  That was hard work and I can't believe we pulled it off.
