Portrait Photography

Syracuse, NY Photographer

There are many reasons why someone may book a single portrait session. You may be looking to get some great photos of yourself for some new social content or a dating profile, or you could also be looking for something to gift your parents or family with for the holidays.

Regardless of what you’re looking for, we can find a way to creatively tell your story through photos! 

My goal is to guide you into comfortable poses (whether they be candid or traditional) so that we get the best possible images. You’d be surprised to find out that about 90% of my clients are camera shy! However, they always leave saying how comfortable they felt and how much fun they had.

I’m the right photographer for you if…

  • You want an investment that will last a lifetime
  • You want an experience tailored to you, from start to finish
  • You’re looking for a photographer who will guide and prepare you

My style can be described as…

  • Light, airy and colorful
  • A blend of candid and posed
  • Crisp textures, sharp subjects, and a soft background

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!

Had my college graduation pictures done by Kalee and Maddy back in May and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out! They were both so amazing and incredibly helpful. This was my first ever photoshoot with anyone, and they really blew my expectations out of the water. I especially give them props because it was an extremely windy day, but they were still able to capture everything and edit my hair afterwards to not make it look as crazy. They were also great at directing me, such as with positioning and poses. Kalee was so sweet with hyping me up even more and helping boost confidence! It was such a fun and unique experience. I would highly recommend Moments Captured CNY! Very reasonable pricing and amazing customer service. I definitely plan to work with them again in the future!

Caitlyn and her team went above and beyond in terms of both photos and experience for my husband and I! It didn’t feel like I was working with them on my big day, it felt like hanging out with a few of my friends. They made sure to get all the shots we were looking for! Our teasers look absolutely amazing and so professional, I am thrilled to see the full album soon. I couldn’t recommend them enough!!

Great experience getting my headshots done — worked with Caitlyn and couldn’t have asked for more. She was on time, made the whole process simple, and gave really clear direction throughout, so I always knew what to do and never felt awkward in front of the camera. Fun to talk to during the shoot too, which made the time go by fast and helped me relax into it. I came in with a clear idea of what I wanted and she nailed it. Communication after the session was great, and turnaround on edits and final photos was quick — no chasing anyone down or wondering where things stood. Highly recommend if you need headshots done right, with someone who’s easy to work with from start to finish.

Caitlyn was so wonderful!! I wanted a family picture with my kids and grandson while I was up visiting. She educated herself with things about my family beforehand and was prepared for handling my grandson who can be hard to keep still! It was raining and we couldn't take pictures outside but her studio was well equipped with beautiful props and backgrounds. Caitlyn was so easy to work with and the pictures came out perfect!!
