Happy New Year Everyone! 

Finally I can begin to catch up on blogging. I still have some sessions (and weddings!) left to blog and I can’t wait to show you some of the amazing days I’ve been so lucky to be a part of.

Just wanted to share a few images of this lovely maternity session that took place during the first week of September.

Enjoy!

The High Line, Engagement Photos: Cristina + Chow

in

Cristina, Chow and I spend a beautiful afternoon in and around The High Line for their engagement session. While we were cut a little short due to the wind & cold weather, I had an awesome time and love how the photos turned out! Cristina and Chow, I am so happy for you and I wish you nothing but love, health and happiness in the future! God bless! I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I do!

The Riviera At Massapequa: Nichole + Michael

I love photographing weddings, but I also enjoy second shooting. Having a second photographer on your wedding day provides an additional set of eyes, view, and an additional creative contribution to your wedding images. So many wonderful things are going on at any wedding and the primary photographer simply can’t be in all places at one time. Below are some of my images I captured as a second shooter for Henry Rivera Photography.

Happy One-Year Wedding Anniversary, Nichole & Michael. 

The Grandview, Multicultural Wedding: Jerryanne + Nathan

in

So excited to be featured on munaluchibridal.com & bellanaija.com. A couple of months ago, I had the honor to shoot with friend and fellow photographer,  Petronella. She's an amazing photographer and a great friend. I was thrilled when we were able to shoot together at The Grandview in Poughkeepsie, NY. I had an absolute blast! Her bride & groom, Jerryanne & Nathan were amazing to work with and planned an absolutely gorgeous wedding full of Afro-Caribbean culture and beautiful colors.

Here are some of the images I captured of the day.

Enjoy!
