Yassis From Lefkada, Greece

I left NY at 11:00 am Monday morning and I was able to rest my head at midnight last night in Lefkada, Greece, 5:00 pm NY time Tuesday :). I was certainly eager to wake up and spend the morning exploring this beautiful town in Greece.  The textures and colors are absolutely stunning, there is so much character here.  I am in love with the people; whether zipping around the streets on mopeds, picking out fruits/veggies, and just enjoying their morning cappuccino over great conversation that I definitely cannot understand ,but love it as background music while exploring these brick roads.

The view from outside this town is just as breathtaking as the inside.  100’s of sailboats visiting from numerous countries and the town set between the mountains and the Mediterranean sea.

We are off to Ionan Islands, specifically Meganisi Island located in the west part of Greece this afternoon.  I am looking forward to sailing for my first time and I am prepared with my sunscreen and Dramamine just in case!  Just a few more images before I log off for today!

A church in town, throughout Greece they put the church bells off to the side of the building to avoid destroying the church during earthquakes.

Walkway to the town square.  This is exactly how I pictured Greece and the experience so far is 100 times better then I imagined.

Family Session_Beautiful Home In Cato, NY

It was a crisp 60 degree “summer day” in Cato, NY photographing this beautiful family.  My husband and I have been friends with Eric and Karen for years and I was so excited when they asked me to photograph their family portraits! Eric and Karen are great friends and wonderful people and after meeting their family I certainly saw where it came from! The family session was very laid back & fun, full of laughs and smiles…and frowns…The little boy made me fight for a smile but once his parents flipped him around he had the biggest cutest smile & I couldn’t get enough! The little girl was such a cutie, after the initial shy meet she was full of smiles from the first snap 🙂 I love the idea that all these wonderful people came from these two falling in love…

Hello + Welcome

Hello + Welcome! I am so happy you are here.  My passion for photography is photographing the happiness, laughter, love, and priceless moments in life.  My goal is to use this blog as means for you to get to know me and my work.  I would like to start by telling you a little about me.

I have a few passions in life…

My pups (Chevy & Tremec), my husband (yes it poured on our wedding day, and it was perfect), my family, my friends, and photography.

My Interests…

I could go on and on about my interests, but it all comes down to loving the simple things in life! Camping, reading a good book, family dinners, coffee with friends, hanging with my dogs, FOOD, and just taking in the beauty of everyday life makes me happy. I am still blown away by airplanes & cordless/mobile phones! 🙂  This world is an incredible place, a beautiful sunset takes my breath away every time, I am obsessed with beautiful landscapes and trees, seeing the Redwoods is near the top of my bucket list.  My excitement for nature and landscapes is what led me to purchasing my first Canon camera at 17 years old.

I want to travel the world: learn, see and experience different cultures. I love people, hearing their stories, and getting to know them. It is truly amazing that you will never meet the same person, every person and each story is unique. That is what I aim for in my photography, telling each persons story through my images, whether the story is their wedding day or a family portrait.

Why Photography?

For as long as I can remember, I have had a camera in my hand. I have a great passion for life, and have always loved capturing the moments that I have experienced.  I look forward to the day 50 years from now when I can look back at the story told by my pictures.  I had fallen in love with pictures of people while searching for a photographer for my wedding.  I was amazed by how realistic the photographs in their portfolios looked. I could feel the love between the couples, the happiness in the families, the purity of a newborn.  At that moment, I knew that I wanted to be the one to create memories for other people much like I have been doing for myself my whole life. I wanted to be the one to capture their moments for them to be able to look back on one day.

Follow My Trip…

Over the next few weeks I will be blogging about a trip that I am so fortunate to be taking!  I will be sailing the Mediterranean!  Please feel free to follow, comment, and share this adventure with me.

Again, I truly thank you for visiting.
