Easter Mini Sessions are back for 2023! This has become an annual tradition for Capture a Moment Photography and our clients (check out last year’s minis here), and we know from past experience that these photoshoots book up fast. So hop to it and reserve your spot before they’re gone! What makes our Easter mini sessions so popular? These spring-themed sessions are designed to give you more than just snapshots. Your finished portraits are perfect to display in your home or give as gifts to y ......

Trying to distract ourselves from the blast of winter going on outside, we flash back to Mia's first birthday shoot. That year went by so quick. We just can't believe it? One of the things you have to get used to as a photographer (but never really do) is how quickly time flies. When you photograph kids as teenagers that you first saw in the studio as toddlers, it’s a reminder of just how fast things change, and how important it is to document life’s special moments and milestones. Don ......

Guess who’s coming to town? Nope, it’s even better than Santa Claus. A new baby! It was so fun to see this family again as they get ready to add a new member. (That “About to Pop” picture isn’t kidding, by the way. We barely managed to squeeze these holiday family and maternity photos in before baby’s due date!) We know it can be a challenge to schedule multiple sessions for different types of photos—especially at this busy time of year. To keep things simple, we decided that rathe ......

Looking for something special to give the person who has everything? Want to make a difference that lasts a lifetime with your gift this year? At Capture a Moment Photography, we believe there’s nothing you can give that is as unique, meaningful, and lasting as the gift of memory. When was the last time you got your loved ones together for a family portrait? If you’re like most people, the answer is probably, “It’s been a while.” We get it. Life gets busy. The holidays get busy. But th ......

Graduating next year? We’d love to help you get ready with a senior photo session! We had so much fun spending the day with Madeline recently capturing her senior pictures. We’ve been photographing this gorgeous soon-to-be-graduate and her family ever since she was just a little one. Hard to believe she’s almost done with high school and it won’t be long before she’s heading out on her own. It’s such a privilege to be entrusted with recording a family’s memories over the years. It� ......

You Are My Sunshine offers your child the opportunity to visit and be professionally photographed with Kitty, a real-live Easter Bunny. These portraits go above and beyond regular mall rabbit photos. They are works of art that can go on display in your home. Our 20 foot long set features decorated eggs, lights, bunnies, spring flowers and lots more. It is actually 3 sets in 1 so that we offer you a var ......

We loved having Ava at her session. Her parents, Nancy and Tom, were hoping for casual and fun photos when they came into the studio. We think we got it! Ava looked sweet in her pink dress that was once owned by her mom when she was a baby. This dress is even more special because it was made my Ava's great-grandma! Using an heirloom like this in photos makes them so much more personal. Our clients have great tips and tricks that we like to pass on. This i ......

Welcome to the world baby EJ! When they found out they were pregnant, this little guy's proud parents Eli and Karoline could barely believe it. They, like all new parents we talk to, were completely starstruck when they first saw his face. EJ was born on May 3 and weighed in at a healthy 7lb 7oz and was 21in long.Mom and Dad came armed with props for this session. We love when families bring in special items to customize their experience just a bit more.   ......

Welcome Lemmen Family to the blog. We enjoyed a session with the Lemmen Family in Downtown New Baltimore. We weren't convinced the rain would hold out for us, yet again, but it did. The beauty of a nearly rainy day is that the sun stayed hidden which allows us to take our clients anywhere we'd like and not worry too much about sun in the eyeballs, (not fun for anyone)!! Total bonus for this family especially since we were downtown during an event on Washington Street and had to ......

Abby and Katie brought a bright and sparkling aura to the studio. It's hard to believe it was their first time visiting our studio because of how natural they were in front of the camera! Abby is the big sister who acts as a role model for her baby sister Katie. Abby is passionate about archery while Katie loves to dance and listen to music. These beautiful girls stole the show with their dazzling smiles. Their mom and dad were hoping to have a cute and fun session that capt ......

Welcome Baby Ellie! The birth of a new baby is always an exciting time for a young family and having a Newborn Photography session helps to capture moments that seem to go by so very quickly as the family adjusts and settles into their new normal. We were very excited to have the opportunity to photograph baby Ellie after having spent time with Mom, Dad and Ellie's big brother during their maternity session. Big Brother Nolan was an excellent little helper with his baby sister ......

Ghost Moms are real, believe me! Like many moms, we try our hardest to hide behind the lens. I just read this article, “The Mom Who Wasn’t There: The Ghost in Our Family” from ScaryMommy and it resonated with me. We all have many reasons. It could be the fact that we are Capturing A Moment and no one else can do it quite like us moms (or Dads, not trying to offend anyone here). Maybe we suffer from the inevitable insecurities of our appearance, maybe our grey hair, heck in m ......

Four White Chinchilla Persian Kittens came to the studio today to visit with us. We are often asked if we take photos of animals, we most certainly do! Jen is highly allergic to the furry versions of kittens and cats, but I have no problem holding and snuggling these sweet little fur balls. They aren’t the easiest to photograph. They are like photographing small children. They don’t really pay much attention to me, their owner or the photographer, they are busy exploring. Photographing kitte ......

Happy Birthday Abby! Little Abby turned one recently and we still can’t believe it. We both remember when we went to Yates Cider Mill to take family pictures when mom let us in on a secret, that she was pregnant! And once Abby was born, they came to us for her newborn pictures and for the last year we have enjoyed watching this beautiful little girl grow and blossom with those beautiful little curls.Baby Abby was such a sweet little girl with us and happy to be ......

In May of 2014, our little friend River will be making his First Communion. A First Communion is a special time in a young man’s life and it is important to capture that moment before it passes. A child’s First Communion is the an important step and we strive to capture that importance in every image during the session.River was a fun and happy young man to work with late this Saturday evening. He had a goofy smile to go with every perfect smile. And he worked really ......

This sweet baby girl was literally 4 days old when she came to visit us! Mom and Dad had just gotten home from the hospital the night before and yet they came to make sure we could capture this moment in time. We met mom and dad and big brother back in the summer when mom was newly pregnant with this little angel. We took them to Yates for a fun little photo shoot in the warm weather and through the trails, carefully. We were excited then to find out that mom was pregnant and ever so ......

This little man comes to visit me every 3 months and lets just say, I have A LOT of pictures of him crying. But this visit, he did amazingly well. And while I didn’t get his off camera smile, I will get it sooner then later. Hugs to you, Little Man!Do you need some pictures of your special little baby? Book a session today!
