A photo shoot on your trip to NYC? Heck yeah!

Had so much fun with these guys!
2 doctors from Germany (yup!) on a work/pleasure trip to NYC...why not schedule some time to hang out together in the summer rays and have someone (me!) record it all?!
It's no secret that we have had a ridiculously lovely summer here in NYC, but every day it is still fascinating. Every sunset feels new, and every picture is it's own story.

Thank you guys for spending your evening with me!
Next time over a "stein" in Germany!

New York Family Photography, One Last Time!

So I photographed these guys about 6 months ago when the little guy was a real little guy! So of course I was excited to hear from mom Wendy again...but when she contacted me via email, text, AND phone, I knew there was more to this story!

They were moving to San Francisco...in a week!

And wouldn't you know, the day that we could work out best for everyone was LITERALLY the DAY they were getting on a plane to fly to other side of the country, leaving New York! Knowing myself before a flight, how I pretty much don't sleep because I'm packing until the very last minute (and this is even if we're talking about a 3 day trip), made me SOOOO incredibly impressed with these guys...and so honored! That they would want to spend the last morning with me and my cameras, photographing such a defining moment in their lives. (Not to mention the fact you guys were sooooo relaxed and chill, I want to bow at your feet in awe!)

I hope you've gotten settled in San Francisco now and that these images of your old home make you smile.

NYC Engagement Shoot, From Broadway to Brooklyn...Congratulations Colleen + Damian!

I love a unique location like this! Colleen and Damian met while they were both working on the Broadway Show, Fela! Sparks flew and I'm sure a few jazz hands, and the rest is history.

Damian still works at the same O'Neill Theater as a 'follow spot operator', the big huge spotlight you see magically following the actors on stage...and we got to climb into his booth, his home away from home, like the wizard of Oz's hideaway, and snap a few pics as well...and then the highlight...(hahaha!) was when he fired up that followspot baby and I got to photograph them bathed in the light of the theater that started it all.

Congratulations guys! Can't wait for the big day!

New York Family Photography, Central Park, but of course!

I hadn't met this family before, but as they turned the corner in Central Park heading in my direction, and the cheeriest parade of pink was coming my way, I knew it was going to be a great morning!

But don't be fooled by the pink dresses! These girls were not scared to get dirty! We dug in the dirt, climbed rocks, tried to catch bugs, and ran after bubbles...and of course who wouldn't want to do those things in a dress!

And they are so sweet together...these 3 sisters...built in friends forever. Watching the youngest soak in every moment of her 2 older sisters was really endearing too!

Thanks for a really fun morning guys!
All the best
