Syracuse Wedding Photographer | Caitlyn Bom Photography bio picture
  • I was given this opportunity to photograph people for a living, and it's something I take very seriously. I love what I do, and it amazes me the connections I've made through this career in such a short span of time. I love it when a bride glows on her wedding day, how a baby makes a goofy face when dad tickles them, how a family gets a kick out of an uncle's knock-knock joke. I'm not just a photographer, I'm an artist, but above all I'm a journalist. I know what interactions between friends and family means, and I know my job is to capture those moments that are real, which are true to who you are, not what I create. I love getting the “big picture” while focusing on a split second.

    You can expect me to answer my emails at 11pm, you can expect me to give you advice if you need it, and you can expect me to bring 110% of my energy to put into your wedding!

    So if you feel that you have connected with my work, and you like what you just read, email or call me! Yes, even if it is 11pm. I'll probably answer!

Definitely Leann and Ryan, Beautiful Picture…

Joseph Angiolillo - January 21, 2011 - 12:08 am

I ended up picking Ashley and Peter. I wanted to vote just for Peter but that is not a voting option.
Iwould have voted for the car they used, a beautiful 2000 Mustang GT Convertible, but not an option.
Anyway when you dust them off and dress them up they get my vote.

CT Michaels - January 21, 2011 - 2:42 pm

Obviously Kylee and Tyler. Just the names alone result in a win

Lori - January 23, 2011 - 6:48 pm

Leanne and Ryan -so real and beautiful….

Syracuse Photographer – Treasure Tuesday

Here is the initial Treasure Tuesday blog! I’m hoping to make this a weekly habit of mine to post some treasures I’ve found/run across/decided to purchase/wanted to share with the world/take up space on the internet with….. Okay, you get the point.

Today’s edition of Treasure Tuesday includes two things that have become very important pieces of my life. We’ll start with Nameless!

If you’ve been following me on twitter or facebook, you already know I adopted a kitten from the Cat Coalition! And you also know I haven’t named him yet. I’m terrible. I admit it. Don’t judge me!

He’s so precious, and definitely photogenic. It’s amazing to watch him day in and day out as he learns about the world around him. I can’t exactly say he’s “innocent” (seeing as he likes to crawl all over my face at 3am), but he’s adorable and he’s mine. That’s what matters!

For anyone looking to adopt a kitten, I think that the Cat Coalition is the way to go. These women (and some men!) go to the ends of the world to find safe homes for these little guys. With the purchase you receive a spay/neuter certificate as well, and you are also assured that the kitten is healthy and clean! I scoured Craigslist for weeks in search of a free kitten, but ultimately decided this was the way to go. Thank you CC!

Treasure Tuesday find number 2:

Syracuse Woman Magazine! Check them out on their site and on facebook! Here is the description, in case you didn’t get the memo;):

“Modeled after the highly successful Rochester Woman Magazine,
SWM will contain the same high quality content and design that Rochester Woman have come to love.
The 64 page, glossy, full color publication will be distributed bi-monthly to readers in the Greater Syracuse Area.”

The magazine is due for release in just a few short weeks, so be on the lookout!

Happy Tuesday!

Syracuse Photographer – An Adventure!

I went out today with Farah of the Syracuse Woman Magazine and had a total blast downtown with her! I gotta keep this on the down low, but let me just say:

Sweet on Chocolate has the most amazing chocolate ever! This little morsel sent me into bliss for a few moments, and I, for those of you that don’t know me…am not a HUGE chocolate fan! I think this place might have did change my mind!

Until next post!

Syracuse Wedding Photographer – New Studio Albums

The first time I saw these albums I knew that these were what my business needed. I was awestruck by just how amazingly well they were put together. These flushmount albums are simply gorgeous, just see for yourself!

These albums are completely customizable, and the options are seemingly endless! You really can’t go wrong. Here are a few photos of the my new arrival, with a Silk cover and leatherette spine!

(Yes our Christmas tree is still up in the background. Don’t judge me! )

I just love how the pages open up!

The lay flat design is really breathtaking…

A closer view of the page thickness. These albums are built to last!

Sarah - January 5, 2011 - 12:56 am

:-) We can’t wait to get ours!!!

Leann - January 7, 2011 - 9:26 am

I can’t wait to do ours too!! It looks awesome from these pictures!
