Merry Christmas

I can not believe that we are just two days away from Christmas. This year has gone by so fast. MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all! May your Christmas be filled with family and loved ones and be a joyous day.

I want to take the chance to let everyone know how thank full I am for allowing me to be a part of your lives this year. Thanks to everyone that sent new faces my way. And to all of those new faces thanks to you as well for trusting in me to make memories for your families. I look forward to seeing many of you all again in 2011!

I have been so busy and have not been able to get caught up. I still have so many shoots that I want to share with everyone that were taking over the last few months. My last goal of 2010 is to get them all posted for everyone to see. Don't forget to check out my Facebook page as well, there are some more photos on there that have not made it on the blog. So, as this last week of 2010 comes to an end and a new year starts be sure to take another look at the blog for all the shoots of 2010 that still have not made there way on here. I promise they are coming.

Thank You-
Trisha

Alexis- Senior 2011

Hailey Mae- 9 months Sneak Peek

Here is one of my favorites from Hailey's 9 month shoot in September. Since I am far behind on my postings I wanted to share this one with you. Be sure to check back to see the rest of the shoot. This one was taken at Dorchester Park in Whitney Point, NY

Ellie Mae!

Meet Ellie! She is the niece of a senior that I shot last year (Lorin). I was so excited to get the opportunity to shoot Ellie. She was full of smiles and we only had a moment of cries. This were all shot at Ellie's grandmas house, Lois.


You can see her blue eyes shinning through on this one.

Sitting with her big sister.

I love these two with the polka dot fabric and pearls. I have this fabric for a while and was so excited to get the opportunity to use it.

A princess in her pink John Deere bedding and feather boas.

This one was taken at the start of her crying moment. A little cuddle and a bottle cheered her right up!

Her final outfit change and she was still full of smiles for me.

Thank you all so much for letting me shoot Ellie's photos. I had a great time shooting her and look forward to shooting her sometime soon. Maybe we will try for a family photo next time around.

Summer Vacation 2010

I wanted to share some of the great shots that I got over the summer. We went and spent a day at Tunkhannock Falls in Ithaca, NY and we spent a week on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina. I have more to share form the Speidi Fest and some firework photos too. I want to add that most of these were taken with my point and shoot cameras.

Some photos from the waterfalls as you walk up to the big one.

The big waterfall.

This butterfly fluttered by us we were walking back to the lake from the bigger falls. It then landed right by me so I was excited to be able to shoot this photos!

This was shot from the lookout.

These next set of photos were taken in Hilton Head Island, SC.

I love how the birds were drifting just above the ocean.

This is a jelly ball. It is part of the jelly fish family but you can hold it with out getting stung. We went out a Dolphin watch and the kids were able to throw the net out and see what they could catch. Most caught nothing, but the Captain's assistant caught the jelly ball.

This is the lighthouse. An outside view and one looking up from the bottom of the inside.

These two photos were the view from the light house. The top photo is to the left and the bottom one is to the right.

Rachael Senior 2011

Meet Rachael! I had the opportunity to meet her and her mom, brother and cousins in August. Rachael was a referal given by a senior, Lorin and her mom Lois, that I had shot last year. This was my frist meeting with them and everything went so well. We meet at Hickories Park in Owego. I was so pleased with all the opportunities that the park gave us for different great photos! There are a few posted here and if you want to see more you can check them out on my facebook page, just click the link to the left.

This is one of my favorites!

This tree was great! I am glad we ventured down by the river and found this tree. Its uniqueness and texture were great!
Thanks to Lisa and Rachael for letting me capture your senior photos. Hope that you have a great year! Enjoy it to the max! It was great to meet you and hope that we see eachother soon.

Going Ons

Summer has come to an end and the kids are all back in school. Soccer is well underway and dance class has started up again. The kids have been keeping me busy but not too busy that I have not had time for some great photo shoots.

My Nikon D70S has been a very busy camera. I have had the privilege of shooting several high school seniors over the past month. All them from different schools and all different types of personalities. I have had a great time shooting them all. I have also shot little Aidan and Hailey, who is now 9 months old. I am looking forward to getting all of these shoots posted over the next week. I also have more to share from my Trash the Dress shoot. I have several other types of shoots on the books over the next month that I am looking forward to.

We had a very busy summer and I am working on posting a few great shots of our activities that I was able to capture. I also have a few that my little mini-me took, that I am very proud to share.

There is still some nice weather ahead and great fall foilage to use for backdrops. Feel free to drop me an email to set up a time to get your shoot in. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the blog!

Taelor- 2011 Senior

Meet Taelor! She will be graduating in June 2011 from Seton. Taelor was a great subject to shoot. And as you can see she was full of smiles. We did some at her home with a few backdrops then headed to the Endicott Visitor Center to shoot some in her great dress. I had her bring along her jeans and tee too.

A few casual ones at the house in a simple black tee and jeans.

Here she is in her jacket from dance.

I loved this one in the black and white and the color. So I thought that I would show them both to everyone. Love the dress too!

What a great smile!

Hanging out in her black Converse!

Thank you Taelor and Claire for allowing me to help you capture some great photos of your senior, last and final year, of high school. I hope that you enjoy your year and best wishes for all to come.
