Sabrina and Simona were filled with SO much energy from the moment we met! Their awesome relationship was apparent just by seeing how playful and affectionate they were towards one another. Not only that, but they are absolutely GAWJUS!!!

I had a ball hanging out with these two, photographing and observing them. AND they were ready for a good time in the streets of NYC, which was the icing on the cake.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Meet JaVonni and Christopher. When they individually made plans to travel to the wedding of a mutual friend, neither anticipated meeting their future life companion. They were introduced at the wedding and hung out with a group of friends over the course of the weekend. Even then, JaVonni and Christopher were oblivious. A simple walk on the beach changed that. They established an unbreakable bond on that walk...one that both of them knew was different from any other that they had felt in the past. That weekend turned into a celebration of love, all around.

Before I photograph anyone, I tend to pray to God that he allow me to see my subject how he sees them. I especially love doing this before weddings and engagement sessions, and this time was no different. Leslie and Stephen's engagement shoot couldn't be any more perfect than it already was! The weather was perfect, our location was set up perfectly and my couple received a pleasant confirmation; Their wedding date engraved in the form of the address of our shoot location. Totally NOT planned by me! Congratulations to my dynamic, super affectionate, funny couple: Leslie and Stephen.

There's just something special about the adult relationship that a mother has with her daughter. No matter how many times we disagree, we always come back full circle, full of love and respect for one another. 

I was thinking of doing a shoot for my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. They already have a pretty close relationship, but hey, you can never be too close, right? In my mind I saw this shoot as being relaxing and a way for them to get together and just hang out. Little by little the ideas flowed in. I started thinking of tea, warmth and coziness, which became the words that I styled this shoot around. 

Mother and daughter had a fab time simply chatting and bonding over tea and red velvet cupcakes as the sun set over the waving treetops. It was a beautiful evening. I'll let the chronicle tell the rest of the story.
