I met up with my friend Ben and his dog Rocky for a test shoot then his girlfriend Irene joined us for a bit. We didn’t originally plan to do photos of the two of them, but man these turned out so dreamy and beautiful! We met up in Queens and walked over to this area below the Queensboro Bridge. Honestly, I just need to let the photos do the talking here!
Ahhh these sweet friends of mine!! Benji and I have been Facebook friends for years and have followed each other on Instagram. We finally met up to do a shoot with a brand last year. He had such good things to say about Connor, so I knew I needed to meet him and do a shoot with the two of them. Then they adopted Ava, so I knew we needed to do a shoot ASAP!! We met up in Chelsea for this sweet little shoot (right after I got back from Boston by the way on a bus!). Enjoy these cuties!
Curious how to plan the best proposal? Look no further! Matt is proposal planner extraordinaire. I swear, I’ve never met a more thoughtful person. He legit thought of everything from flying her friends in to help set up to booking a photographer to finding the perfect spot in Central Park. I couldn’t wait to meet Matt and Emily because Matt seemed so cool. They were so cool and fun to hang out with! Definitely my kind of people.
Matt said he knew I was the right photographer when he saw my love for Friends because Emily also loves Friends. My quick responses via email and jumping on a call the same day sealed the deal. Photographers - make sure you’re responding same day at the absolute least. Matt first emailed me at 8AM, I emailed back within the hour and we jumped on a call a few hours later. By the time he signed the contract (around 5PM), he still hadn’t even received a response from the other photographers he emailed. I had not only done a phone call, but I sent a custom proposal! The early bird gets the worm is a true statement, so make sure to get ahead!
Well aren’t they freaking cute?!?! Brian and Loren KILL ME!!!! They are both super stylish dudes (expect more shoots with them!) and two of the kindest souls out there. It’s not a surprise they wound up together. I’ve been bugging Brian to do a shoot with Loren and Loren’s been bugging Brian to do a shoot with me. After enough nagging, Brian gave in and it was SO DANG FUN!!! We wandered around Soho and Lower East Side. Enjoy!!
UGH these two just killll me! I MEAN LOOK AT THAT!! The way he looks at her - that smile! AH I pray for love like that and hot dang they have it! I was so so stoked to do this engagement shoot with them and I'm even more excited to get to shoot their city hall elopement in a couple weeks! YAAAY!
Capture real, raw moments.
