Every journey starts with a single step. For Elizabeth and Cody’s Delphi Falls engagement session, those steps started STRAIGHT down a small (and thankfully short) cliff side. At the bottom of the cliff: Sheer Magic! Sparking water, beautiful dappled sunlight, glowing foliage. It was like we were in a fantasy movie set.

Rebecca and Ryan bonded initially through playing a lot of Magic the Gathering together. Although I didn’t get a chance to test their prowess at the game, I can tell you one skill they definitely have: recognizing the beauty of an outdoor setting. They clearly have a keen eye in finding gorgeous outdoor locations based on their pick of Eastwood Park for their engagement session, so it is no surprise that they both love activities outdoors: Hiking, snowshoeing, and walks. Eastwood is kind of a hidden gem in Syracuse. It’s a tiny park that offers so much variety and beauty.

When Alisha and I met together in January to talk through her and Mitch’s wedding day, she wanted to have their engagement session at a tree farm since Mitch had proposed at one. It was such a great idea! Most people wouldn’t usually think of a Christmas tree farm in the off-season for pictures, but, really, EVERY season is beautiful at a tree farm. Stony Hill Acres in Palermo was super gracious (as they always are) and gave us free rein of their farm.

Outdoor lovers Jessica and Peter both work on the Hudson River, and met doing fishieries work/research, and spend a lot of time together on small boats (that’s so cute!) With all of their experience surrounded by nature, they clearly have an excellent eye for what looks gorgeous as they saw the wonderful potential of their own back yard! A cute little trail, a bit of high foliage from last season, a marshy area, and open field. GOLD!

During this wild time of Coronavirus and social distancing, one of those areas of concern when the newest family member arrives is “Oh crap, how are we going to get our newborn photos done?”
Allow me to introduce you to newborn lifestyle sessions! These types of sessions have been around for some time now, but are lesser known than their big brother, the posed newborn sessions.

OMG!!! How beautiful is Anahlya? When she showed up for her newborn session, she looked just like a doll in her car carrier. She was so perfect, I couldn’t even believe that she was real!!!! When we started getting her ready for her pictures, she woke up, (she was NOT going to miss a moment of the shoot by sleeping), but eventually she sailed away to dream land, and we caught these gorgeous pics.

As the sun was shining down on me during my drive to Fallbrook this past Friday afternoon for Zach and Rachel’s engagement session, I was thinking about how we lucked out with such a glorious day. I was really excited to be meeting these two for their session, and mother nature was smiling down on us the whole time. […]
