ENGAGED | Danielle + Justin

Click image to view full gallery:Here’s a sweet little modern day Great Gatsby style shoot to dance your eyes over. Danielle & Justin were highschool sweethearts who stayed together through their college years and into their adult careers. And now the time has come to take their charming old fashion romance into a modern day era of wedded enchantment. Danielle, a go-getter who has grown up in the fashion industry, loved the camera and the camera loved her back. This made it fun as we ran around an old English garden taking on whatever ideas and whim came to mind. Justin, the ultimate sweetheart of a gentleman, more timid in front of the lens, slowly warmed up and really pulled through to give this shoot that extra touch it needed (including making fun of the engagement shoot *wink *wink* to make Danielle laugh). This adorable pair are planning a wedded affair for an intimate group of friends and family this Fall at beautiful outdoor reception that will be a mix of casual and elegance….um…I’m just toe tappin’ (more like end-zone dancing in my head) at the thought of what their day will look like and can’t wait to be there to capture it all!

ENGAGED | Michelle + Jack (Part II) Dancing In The Rain

The final post to Michelle + Jack rain drenched shoot. Enjoy!
Click image to view full gallery:

Michelle & Jack both embrace their Irish heritage and the American spirit in celebrating it. So much so, that not only are they getting married on Saint Patrick’s Day, but will do a pub crawl through Manhattan in their wedding outfits after the dinner reception. Below is a sneak peek of her adorable green wedding shoes that flaunts her clover tattoo. I seriously L*O*V*E when a couple embraces who they are and throw a wedding style so personal to them and independent of the norm. To me, that’s Style and Art and truly living Life!

ENGAGED | Michelle + Jack (Part I) Retro New York

When Michelle first contacted me for an engagement shoot, I couldn’t waaaait to meet them and do the shoot. She had filled me in on some outfit ideas and accessories they wanted to use. From the stylish details she gave me, I instantly drew up a vision of how the images were going to look. The challenge was to make it retro in feel but still keep a contemporary relevancy.

Michelle told me that Jack is currently serving in the army. So I was quite impressed (assuming most Army men are not into fashion and style…and how wrong of me to assume such a thing) when Jack showed up in a bespoke 3-piece suit made by a designer friend, Stephen Seo (who does the suits for HBO’s Entourage). Jack apparently didn’t stop at the suit, as he had a french cuff shirt made to wear cuff links that pulled out the red from the threads of the suit and the socks. It was a serious “GQ” level of style. Michelle, beautiful, extremely smart, easy going, works on Wall Street and held her own in the style department as well. I went gaga over the fur vest and perfectly done hair. Might I add, this woman has flawless skin! I mean talk about an easy editing job from this shoot! Another world traveller and full of great stories, I had such a fun time with this renaissance couple.

I love the story of how Michelle & Jack met. Being world travellers as they are, it was only fitting for them to meet in a foreign country such as Germany at a mutual friend’s party! Though I won’t release further info of that night (as I was privy to the details), I must say it was one that made me laugh and appreciate the crazy ways that people can instantly fall in love. And IN-LOVE is definitely the state in which this beautiful couple are in

ENGAGED | Michelle + Jack (Preview) City Slickers

I LOVE photo shoots in the rain, especially when it’s in New York City. Call me crazy, but I love when you can transform a challenging climate into something beautiful that others can appreciate with new eyes.  I also love it when I get clients like Michelle & Jack who did not waver at the thought of running around in the rain with me!

For this shoot, I had the hardest time editing down to a few images. I know I always say that but it’s because each shoot feels like a new favorite of mine (I guess I have tons of favorites at this point). For this prelude to the official post, I decided not to contain myself and to show a few images instead of just one.

Any Way! I have so much to say about Michelle & Jack but want to save the details for the official post.

PORTRAIT PROFILE | A New York Revamp

One of the things that make a photo-shoot so much fun (besides the very interesting and diverse people I get to meet) is when the shoot turns into a full affair. This client contacted me in need of professional headshots for her corporate profile. As a self-proclaimed tomboy, she thought it would be fun to revamp her look by having a makeup artist/hair stylist present as well as her friend from London to assist with the wardrobe change. It was such a fun entourage that created the perfect energy for an eventful shoot. 

This client lives that stylish New York City life with a cute bi-level apartment in the coveted Gramercy Park neighborhood. She’s a corporate professional with a closet of designer clothes and an overflow of Louboutins to flaunt. She has a bucket list which includes a hopeful acting gig (another reason for this shoot). Her wall of bookshelves includes over a dozen travel books of all the beautiful countries she has seen. Though I won’t give away her age, I was quite impressed with not only how young she looks but her youthful spirit as well. There’s also a resiliency to her character that I admire and an attitude of looking the unknown in the eyes. Her middle name is Faith and that says it all.

Though she’s a Red Sox fan, she decided to purchase a seat from the old Yankee Stadium before it was torn down. It looks pretty cool sitting in her apartment.

This shoot also had meaning for me as it was part of my client’s refresh after going through a big life change.  I believe every woman deserves to feel beautiful, to know she can show it and flaunt it without any reserve. I dedicate this shoot to all the woman out there who needs a reminder that there is a lot of power in being a woman. So don’t ever be ashamed to flaunt who you are.
