engagement

I LOVE a good secret (& I’m really good at keeping them)! So when my dear old friend from high school called me a few weeks ago and told me under the strictest confidence that he was planning something BIG and needed my help, I was THRILLED! Chris and Amy are spending the month at […]

A few months ago, my sister and her long-term boyfriend got engaged while on vacation in Mexico! We all celebrated together at our parents’ house up on Lake Michigan. I begged Christina and Tim to let me take their engagement photos, but neither of them like to be in front of the camera. But one […]

I’ve known Jessica since she was a teenager, and while photographing her engagement session, it occurred to me how absolutely quick time flies!   She is about to graduate grad school as a Physician’s Assistant and is engaged to marry her high school sweetheart, Alex, who is about to graduate from law school!  I’m so excited to […]

I have a confession to make.  I LOVE being part of a secret!  So when Brett (with the help of his lovely sister Kelse) contacted me asking if I can help document his proposal to his girlfriend on vacation in Central Park — and she was completely unaware of this plan — I immediately said […]

I knew I was going to get along well with Heather and Dion from the second we met.  They had warm smiles despite the freezing temperatures and such positive energy!  We had fun taking their engagement photos amongst the Christmas trees, and when I found out they’re not only both from Michigan, but that Heather […]

I looove photo albums.  I have very fond memories as a child of going through the dozens of photo albums my mom would put together and organize on shelves in our family room.  These albums were filled with snapshots of our family; memories of my sister’s and my childhood.  I definitely caught the shutterbug addiction […]

This couple was just so adorable and sweet, with big smiles for me from start to finish!  We met up for their engagement shoot just outside their apartment in Williamsburg, and took photos around their neighborhood for a bit before heading over to the Lower East Side just as the sun was starting to set. […]

Erin and Dan are such a sweet and fun couple!  After some late summer rainstorms forced us to reschedule our planned engagement shoot at Rockaway Beach, we rescheduled for a beautiful sunny late afternoon in September, and decided to do it in Erin and Dan’s backyard — Brooklyn Bridge Park! These two are so effortless […]

I loooved when Dan decided to do a cartwheel in the middle of Brooklyn Bridge Park during his engagement shoot with his lovely fiance, Erin.  It made me so happy that I simply had to create my very first GIF out of the sequence of photos! Now that’s a guy who’s head over heels in […]

What can I say about these two?  Elea is one of my closest friends, and I was a happy witness as she and Doug’s friendship evolved into romance over the past several years.  They are perfect for each other.  These two are so natural together, and I am so happy I was able to take […]
