Dana + Erik: New York City Styled Shoot

A WORKOUT AND A CITY VIEW

These two yogis and fitness junkies are awesome! Erik and I met in California at the Wilhelmina holiday party, so of course when we were both in New York, we had to connect! He invited Dana to make the shoot even more fun. They're extremely flexible and thankfully have really strong cores because balance was key for a majority of this shoot. Erik is crazy for some of the poses he did on the edge of the roof! They both absolutely killed it, so I'll just let the photos do the talking!

Brandon + Jessica: New York City Love

A MEATPACKING LOVE STORY

Oh how I love these two! Brandon is and has been a total dreamboat since I first met him. Then I had the opportunity to meet his better half while we were all in New York and it was magical! She is absolutely wonderful and so so stylish! They are both models, hence all the hotness happening here! We met at their apartment and wandered around Meatpacking, where we found some killer spots for both couple shots and individual shots.

Blaire + Ryland: Brooklyn Heights Styled Shoot

A RUN THROUGH BROOKLYN

Oh man! Check out these cuties!! I met them while I was in New York because their agency set up a go-see. I instantly pictured a shoot with the two of them, so we made it happen! We met at Ted & Honey in Brooklyn Heights and went straight to shooting in the alley nearby. They are so so cute, I'll just let the photos do the talking!

Kayla + Monte: Central Park Anniversary Session

A SUNFLOWER PICNIC IN CENTRAL PARK

OK! I straight up love these two! I feel so blessed to have met them and to be a part of this anniversary picnic in Central Park. It was nothing short of perfect. Could you even tell it was 90 degrees? We were all sweating... TMI?

Meeting these two was a whirlwind. I first spotted them in November 2014 when Monte was photographing Kayla for her blog on Bedford. His beard at the time was MASSIVE, so he was hard to miss. I mean they're honestly hard to miss with their killer style. The friend I was with mentioned wanting to work with them, so I told him to go up and talk to them (because even I was too nervous to strike up a conversation). He shook his head no and we kept walking, assuming we'd never see them again...

Flash forward a couple of days and I was at Nu New York helping with a small piece for their social media. Can you guess who the model was? Kayla and Monte showed up and of course I went straight to telling them how I had spotted them and wanted to chat with them, so this was beyond awesome to get to meet and work with them! They were both so kind and kept saying I should have come up! (TIP: Always always always!! just do it. Don't be afraid. You'll regret it if you don't and things like this may not happen every time) The funniest part of the entire day was Monte and I were wearing the exact same outfit! 

Unfortunately, I met them on the last leg of my first solo trip in New York, so I couldn't plan an actual shoot out. BUT we met up 8 months later for a couple of shoots! I shot with Kayla on her own (view here) and the two of them together in celebration of their anniversary. Enjoy these cuties!!

Dylan + Vita: Brooklyn Love

A STROLL THROUGH WILLIAMSBURG

Valentine's Day is tomorrow guys... Hopefully you didn't forget to get your girl something special. If you did, surprise her with a photo shoot! Feel to shoot me an email.

I absolutely LOVE these two! Dylan and I met in New York in November 2014 at his agency Wilhelmina. Back then, I knew I wanted to work with him! Unfortunately, he was booked for the specific shoot I needed him for. Flash forward to August 2015 and he's in California, so we finally were able to shoot.

About a month later, we were both back in New York and Vita was about to head out on a tour for a few months. I had recently started working with bloggers and Vita is 1/2 of the Blonde Tigers, so of course I wanted to work with her. Of course it was absolutely necessary to get a shoot in before she left! Within a few hours of texting Dylan to ask if this could happen, we were shooting. We met on Bedford and wandered around and found some great spots to shoot along the stroll.
