Avery :: Peanut :: Syracuse NY Newborn Baby Photographer

Sweet Avery with Big Sister Alexis.  Avery totally rocked her session at 5 weeks old.  She was still so tiny and snuggly!  It was a crazy weather day that day, but we were able to sneak outside and get some shots of big sister Alexis, even though it was hailing!

Lauryn :: Peanut :: Syracuse NY Newborn Baby Photographer

Sweet Lauryn.  At first, she wanted nothing to do with that pumpkin.  By the end she was snoozing so hard she would have slept on anything!  Daddy is a hunter so we had to get a shot with the deer hat.  Love how her photos turned out - she is a beautiful wee one.

Noah :: Peanut :: Syracuse NY Newborn Baby Photographer

You remember Noah, right?  The peanut from last week?  Well, he came back to the studio for some family photos.  And I am so glad they did!  I absolutely love how these turned out.  It was so nice to spend time focusing on Noah with his momma and dad.  These tender moments are so precious early on and I am glad I was able to capture them for this beautiful family.

Noah :: Peanut :: 09.13.12: Syracuse NY Newborn Baby Photographer

Here's the snuggly adorable Noah!  He certainly loved the warm temps and white noise happening in the studio.  We were able to get a lot of great photos of him, including some outdoors, which I am completely in love with!  Stay tuned for more photos of him with his parents next week.

Ryan :: Peanut :: Syracuse NY Newborn Baby Photographer

Oh Ryan - he was SO cooperative!  It made the session go fairly quickly and we were able to get a lot of great shots.  His daddy is a firefighter so we were sure to capture a shot representing that.  It took all hands on deck, but he rocked out the chin pose, and I must say he looks quite adorable doing it!

Finley & Big Sis Devin :: Syracuse NY Newborn and Child Photographer

Here are my faves from Elmira!  They came all the way up to have some time in (and out of!) the studio and get some of Finley's first photos.  We had a great morning together - it is always so wonderful to see this family.  They rock!  I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I do.  I have watched Devy growing up right in front of my eyes, and each time I see her she seems to get cuter and cuter!

Liam & Grady :: Peanuts :: Syracuse NY Newborn Baby Twin Photographer

Here they are - Liam & Grady!  Along with big brothers Soren & Gabe.  The twins were about 4 weeks old at this point and still so very tiny and adorable.  They slept like champs though!  They barely cracked their eyes during the entire session, and if they did they just wanted a little tasting from their bottle.  And the smiles...oh the smiles.  They are so sweet and have great big brothers to help take care of them.

Isabella :: Peanut :: Syracuse NY Newborn Baby Photographer

This momma is an old friend from high school that I have had the pleasure of re-connecting with thanks to photography!  We did her maternity session back in May and a couple of weeks ago I got to meet her baby girl Isabella.  And isn't her firefighter daddy such a hunk?!  I look forward to seeing Isabella back in front of the camera in a few months as she is one of my Year of Wonder babies who I document throughout her first year.

Edward :: Peanut :: Syracuse NY Newborn Baby Photographer

Oh Edward, how sweet you are.  His momma is a doctor and his daddy is a pilot so we were sure to work a few related items into the photos.  I think he is so very handsome.  Oh!  And his momma knit him that awesome blanket in the second photo.  I'm not really sure how she found time to do that!

Luke :: Peanut :: Syracuse NY Newborn Baby Photographer

Squeal!  My nephew!  I am sooooooo in love.  The most handsome lil guy I have ever photographed.  I absolutely adore him and cherished the time we spent together during the session.  We were able to incorporate a lot of special items, including his crib quilt, a blanket that my husband and I picked up for him in Germany, his Daddy's drum, and a little visor made by my friend Dena.

Audrey :: Peanut :: Syracuse NY Newborn Baby Photographer

I fell in love with Audrey and her amazing head of hair the minute I saw her.  She was a dream to work with and slept like a champ the entire time.  It was also so great to meet her parents - Momma is a doll.  And Dad...well, it's possible he took a little snooze while we were doing our thing.  :)  Sleep when the baby sleeps, right?!  I fall more and more in love with newborn photography at every session I do.  I am so thankful that parents allow me to document this truly special time for them.
