Blogging AGAIN....

This is something that I really need to do... Wow, one year since posting!!!! I'm such a bad blogger. So for warm ups, I'm going start rummaging through archives publishing the first photo of the day that moves me. I hate writing, so little to no words will be used. Photos are worth a 1000 words, right?

Photo taken August 3, 2013

summer adventures at the lake...

This summer I had the opportunity to photograph a family session....no wait....four generations of family up at Keuka Lake.  The little man was the highlight of my session...2 years old and ready to go!!!  And his big sister who has her hands full helping mom, but enjoyed posing for the camera.  The session was full of adventure capturing the family's moments at their cottage on the lake.  I even got a bonus!!  A boat ride up and down the lake!!!  Now if only I had a water housing for my camera..... enjoy the session!!  And here's to summers up at the lake!!

Got in some water shots.....in the rain.  Loved it!!!

We even had sisters and aunts visiting for the weekend.

Good day sunshine!!!  Feeding the ducks Duncun donuts.

residential gallery

Currently my home is my studio...been working on getting samples up, changing photos, and getting everything looking pretty.

(and yes, I now have gotten to the point that I just want spring to be here!!  If its not going to snow, just bring in the flowers!!)

moving on

As of today, it is official.  We are moving.  We are moving out of the San Francisco Bay Area going back east.  Corning, New York to be specific.  My husband was just offered a wonderful opportunity with Corning Incorporated which will not only benefit his career, but also get my career back on track into biotech if I so choose to do so.  We will also be closer to my college football scholar son, Derrick, who plays for the West Liberty University Hill Toppers, and I will be able to attend almost all of his games!!!  I will be closer to my best friends in Pittsburgh, the Steelers, and  GOOD Buffalo chicken wings!!!!  Keith will be home more, and will be able to attend his Red Sox games at Fenway Park!!  We will also be closer to Keith's family.  Christmas in New England once again!!  And now my family is a tad bit closer, and more able to visit.  My brother and sister are terrified of flying.  We may be leaving a wonderful wine region, but only to have access to another wonderful upcoming wine region, the Fingerlakes Wine Region.  So yes, our Bacio Devino wine cellar is coming with us, but now we need to figure out how we are going to get our 600 bottle collection to New York!!!  eek!  I guess we have to start drinking more wine!



So how is my photography business affected?  My business will come with me as well.  I will continue building my portraiture business in the FingerLakes Region, and I will continue being the staff photographer for the Tiffany's Dance Academy Studios in the San Francisco Bay Area assisting Paul Henderson with photographing recitals, photo management, portraiture display and handling small projects for CostumeManager.com as needed.  However, due to the busy nature of preparing for our move early this summer, I will no longer be doing portrait sessions in the Bay Area.   My efforts during this time will focus only on Tiffany's Dance Academy and their upcoming recital events and capturing Pleasanton's Phantom T-ball Softball league {for moms and dads, your photos can be viewed through my Sports Style galleries}.  My creative services offered to the dancers of Tiffany's will remain and will still be offered for an infinite amount of time as well as my collaboration with artist Jessica Dittmer and her Storybook Look® Art . {TDAPics photo galleries are still online and available for purchase!!  Contact me at mommyandmephoto@sbcglobal.net or Paul Henderson at paul@tiffanydance.com for password details and for additional creative services}

We are all very EXCITED about this opportunity and can't wait to get moving!!!
