Summer Sunrise Engagement in Bethesda Terrace Steff and Evan’s relationship has taken them all over the east coast! From Penn State, where they met, to Boston, where they got engaged, to New York City, where we met for their engagement session. Steff’s family is from NJ, and that’s exactly where they’ll be tying the knot […]

An Engagement Session at Monmouth University Danielle and John met at Monmouth University, so what better place to take their engagement session pictures almost 10 years later? As they explained it to me, Danielle was a math tutor while they were in college and John would always come to study at the same learning center […]

Engagement Session in Battery Park City How appropriate that we should take engagement session photos in New York City, where Amy and Sunny’s story began! Three years later, they’re closing their season of life in the city with a new addition to the family. Peyton is their adorable and rambunctious puppy who bounced around for […]

Sunrise Engagement Session in Lavallette No, I’m not a morning person. But, yes, waking up at 3:30am to catch the sunrise for a beach engagement session is worth it. There are two golden hour windows, the hour when the sun rises and the hour when the sun sets (give or take depending on typography and […]

Summer Engagement at Verona Park When your bride has an obsession with Cinderella, and finds the perfect bridge for her Verona Park engagement session, it’s an overall win. Once again, we had out sights on Skyland’s Manor for Melissa and Mike’s engagement session, but they’re still not open! Not wanting to push back their engagement […]

Sunset Engagement in Newport Last week, we (my husband came too!) spent the weekend in Newport, RI! There we met Laura and Mike for their sunset engagement session along the cliff walk in Newport. To say this session was a check off my bucket list is an understatement! So when Laura told me she currently […]

A New York Estate Engagement Session Our first engagement session since quarantine and it was so good! I’ve known Kasia since she was 16 years old, when she and her sisters hired me to photograph their new line of activewear for their company Ziane Active. I was so excited when Kasia announced her engagement to […]

A Casual Central Park Engagement Session “We always walk Central Park with our coffee on Saturday morning.” Michele told me when choosing a place for Michele and Ryan’s engagement pictures. This was also the very place where Ryan proposed to Michele. Taking engagement pictures in Central Park is the absolute perfect way to document their […]

Engagement Session in Bethesda Terrace in Central Park New York City
Sunrise engagement session at Belvedere Castle in Central Park NYC

Sunrise Session at Belvedere Castle Rachel and Franco are very easy going. So easy going, in fact, that they didn’t even bat an eye when I suggested a sunrise engagement session in Central Park! And they didn’t even complain when it landed on the coldest morning in October! I don’t think any of us realized […]

A Sunrise Engagement & Champagne Toast I may not naturally be a “morning person,” but I love sunrise sessions. I really love them. As much as I dislike dragging myself out of bed before the sun, I dislike working around crowds even more. I typically recommend a sunrise session for two types of sessions: beach […]
