Western NY .. Im a'comin' HOME!!!

Exciting News!!!!  8am Photography is coming to Western NY in August to visit family and friends..to photograph a wedding...along with some high school seniors...and best of all.. to see my MOM and loved ones!!!! IM SO EXCITED!!!!
It has been over 2 years since being back in town..and I can't wait!  Im hoping there's at least ONE good thunderstorm.. (but please dear lord, not on august 27th)..and I pray that the humidity won't be too bad.. HA!  But I won't care. It will be worth it! :)
Im looking forward to going exploring to find new photo shoot locations..and hunting for old abandoned houses and buildings and risking the chance of getting arrested for trespassing ;)    shhhhhh... no tipping off the Orleans County sheriffs department!!
Today, my Dad would have turned 82 and it has been over 2 years since his passing. I can't wait to get back home and hug my mom..my brother..my sister(s)..my neices and nephews..my aunts..and my cousins.  Just to sit in my mom's kitchen..at her little kitchen table..and sip her coffee and listen to her stories..and stare in admiration at how she is managing to get along without dad by her side.. to admire her strength..and to hear her laugh..and to see her smile..and to share some tears and tissues with her..i soooo can't wait.


Happy Birthday Dad..I hope the angels have baked you a spice cake..or brought you a double chocolate cake from Wegmans..and has fresh, icy cold Pepsi on hand for you :)  I miss you.

Mission Inn - Riverside Area- Engagement Session with Ray & Irene!

 So.. my first wedding booked..and look at the ADORABLE couple that I get to shoot!! How lucky am I??? Ray and Irene will be married on 9-10-11.. what a memorable day this will be for everyone!
 Im so looking forward to their day and capturing the love these two share.  The sparkle in their eyes when they look at each other sends little lightning bolts thru the air :)

 The weather this day was just right..just the right amount of light..and the temperature was perfect!  I had never been to the Mission Inn in Riverside, so I had fun doing some 'exploring' before Ray and Irene showed up.  Lots of cool alleys, stairs, walls ..knooks and places to sit and ponder.  It was fun to even find some leaves still lingering around under a tree!
 Irene's going to make a beautiful bride..and Ray is going to look amazing in his tux.. I can't wait!

"I dreamed of a wedding of elaborate elegance,
A church filled with family and friends.
I asked him what kind of a wedding he wished for,
He said one that would make me his wife."
~Author Unknown
 


 Their 'song' that will play at their wedding, "Im Yours"

So the next time you see these lovebirds.. they will be Mr. and Mrs.. happily ever after :)

Girls Just Wanna be Photographed!! Murrieta Area Photographer

When Karissa and Alaena said they wanted to have a shoot.. I called my friend, Betty, and we all met and got to play for an afternoon!


While the tunes played on my make-shift boombox (my cell phone..thank you Pandora)..the girls rocked it out!!!!

 Pretty scarves, and old ladder.. quaint wooden umbrellas..funky high-heels and lots of grafitti make for a nice mix of colors and textures...




 add to that..the gorgeous sun-setting light that bathed the girls in a golden yumminess!!!

Thank you Karissa, Alaena and Betty for getting together to play with me :)

~My Family~

This year was such a quiet Thanksgiving...
no extra guests..
no craziness..
no extra food to make..
no hustle and bustle of us all in the kitchen trying to get organized..
this year, it was just us...
and I'm Thankful that we were all gathered around our little table.. sharing in a feast fit for kings and queens..and thankful that at that moment, all was well with the world.
