The Process…
1. The Consultation
We’ll start with a friendly phone call to break the ice. I believe in being more than just a photographer with a camera; I aim to be a friend capturing your cherished moments. During our call, we’ll discuss styling, location, scheduling, and pricing. Every package I offer is customized around the information I get from our call and your specific needs. We don’t want to skip this step!
2. Booking and Preparation
If you feel we’re the perfect match, I’ll send over a custom contract, invoice, and payment schedule, all easily completed online. It’s hassle-free and just a few clicks away! Afterwards, we’ll pin down the date and time, officially starting our exciting journey. You’ll also receive my official styling guide, location suggestions, and other valuable tips to ensure you’re fully prepared.
3. Session Day
The big day is all about fun and zero stress. Whether we’re aiming for posed elegance or candid charm, I’ll guide you through it all, ensuring every moment is captured beautifully. And don’t worry about feeling awkward in front of the camera—I’ll make sure you feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire session! I will take a variety of photos for you to choose from upon delivery.
4. Photo Delivery and Prints
After our session, you’ll get access to your online gallery of all your wonderful images. Select your favorites included in the package, or choose to upgrade and purchase the entire gallery. For wall-worthy prints, professional lab quality makes all the difference. Conveniently, alongside your gallery, you’ll find a storefront for ordering high-quality prints. I’ll handle all the details, ensuring your prints are absolutely flawless. Once everything is perfect, your prints will be on their way, delivered directly to your door!
What clients are saying about Moments Captured CNY
Moments Captured CNY 110 Google reviewsPosted on Heather BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the absolute pleasure of working with Caitlyn, and I cannot say enough about her professionalism, talent, and calming presence. From the moment she arrived, she blended seamlessly into the flow of the day, organized, communicative, and incredibly easy to collaborate with. As a coordinator, I deeply appreciated her problem-solving skills. She stayed two steps ahead at all times, offering quick, effective solutions without ever disrupting the timeline. I was so impressed with her work that I later hired her for my own branding photos and she exceeded my expectations yet again. Her eye for detail, creativity, and ability to capture authentic moments is truly unmatched. Caitlyn is a photographer who not only delivers beautiful images but also brings comfort, confidence, and joy to the entire experience. I highly recommend her to any couple or vendor looking for someone who truly goes above and beyond.

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful review Jordan! Congratulations on your engagement 🎉Posted on Jessica EdkinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were so thrilled to have Moments Captured CNY as our wedding photographers. From the very first interaction, Cait and her team were punctual, professional, organized and easygoing - making the entire process seamless. Their work is truly beautiful, elegant and of the highest quality. Not only did Cait make it super easy sticking to her schedule and keeping the momentum, but she made me feel special, seen, heard, and beautiful throughout our special day. I've known Cait for a while, and remember meeting her crew for the first time. Not only are they immensely talented, but are down to earth and focus on perfection. We couldn't be happier with the photos they captured and will relive our wedding day for years to come!

Thank you so much for your review Rachel! I'm so glad we could help!Posted on Thomas HarrisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Moments Captured CNY did photography, videography, and a Photo Booth for our wedding and we had such a positive experience with them. They coordinated with the staff at the venue so we could focus on the other details and they were quick and efficient when it came time to do the pictures right after the ceremony. The rest of the time I barely knew they were there, they were so unobtrusive, but so far the results are stunning. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for high quality photography at reasonable prices from people who were just genuinely nice and a joy a work with.

Thanks so much for your review Margo!Posted on Jennifer StevenerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is your PSA to book Caitlyn and crew from Moments Captured CNY for ANY of your professional photography needs!!! We 1000% recommend this business!!! My wife, Jennifer Gilson and I found her searching for a local (Syracuse, NY) photographer for our wedding and I’m SO GLAD WE DID!!! She is incredibly talented, kind, laid back, and full of fun ideas. Her and her crew made my guests feel comfortable and really allowed their personalities to shine throughout the whole process. They really captured the essence of what we were going for when it came to our expectations. We wanted to keep it light and fun, lots of candids, background shots. We tend to shy away from direct, “spotlight on us” kind of vibes…however…they made us feel BEAUTIFUL and really encouraged us to step out of our shells. And I’m SO GLAD they did! Thank you SO much try much for all of your hard work and kind words. You really made this pair of Jen/n’s BIG DAY a lasting memory. We 🫶🏻 you. I’m going to stop rambling and just show you guys already…

F.A.Q.s
What is lifestyle newborn photography?
Lifestyle newborn photography is a style of photography that captures the authentic moments and emotions of your family’s life with your newborn. It focuses on natural settings and interactions, rather than posed shots, to tell the story of your family’s journey together.
What can I expect during a lifestyle newborn session?
During a lifestyle newborn session, I’ll come to your home (or in some cases you’ll come to the studio) to capture the genuine moments of love, connection, and joy shared within your family. We’ll focus on documenting the everyday moments of life with your newborn, whether it’s cuddling on the couch, feeding time, or simply enjoying quiet moments together.
Do I need to prepare anything for the session?
The beauty of lifestyle newborn photography is its simplicity. You don’t need to worry about elaborate props or backdrops – just be yourselves! I may provide some gentle guidance on lighting and positioning, but the focus is on capturing your family naturally. I do recommend a nice declutter and cleaning session prior to the photoshoot for the best aesthetic.
What if my baby is fussy or won't sleep during the session?
It’s completely normal for babies to be fussy or awake during a session, and that’s okay! Lifestyle newborn photography embraces the unpredictability of life with a newborn, so we’ll work with whatever mood your baby is in to capture authentic moments.
Who can attend the session?
Your lifestyle newborn session is a special opportunity to capture the love and connection within your family, so I encourage everyone who plays a significant role in your newborn’s life to attend. This includes parents, siblings, grandparents, and even family pets if you wish! The more love, the merrier!
When will I receive my photos after the session?
I know how eager you’ll be to see your photos, so I’ll work diligently to edit and deliver your images as soon as possible. You can expect to receive your fully edited gallery within 2-3 weeks after the session, ready to cherish and share with your loved ones.
Do you offer posed newborn photogrpahy?
At this time, I am only offering lifestyle newborn sessions in-home or in-studio. Please check out this article for more info.
