Children's Portraits

Syracuse, NY Photography

Children’s portrait sessions are by far the most exciting sessions! Not only are they absolutely adorable (can you tell that I love kids?) but they are the most genuine smiles that my camera could capture.

There are so many milestones in your child’s life. Whether it be their favorite toy that they bring everywhere they go or their first lost tooth, I’ll be right there snapping the most beautiful photos to tell their story.

My goal is to guide your child into comfortable poses (candid or traditional) so that we get the biggest smiles. Be ready to hear the corniest knock knock jokes and laugh right along with us.
