Lisa and Jacob got married at City Hall in Manhattan. Due to Covid regulations, they were only allowed one guest inside with them, so I acted as both their photographer and their witness.

Andrea and Patrick's Newborn Session (Aurora)

Andrea and I have been friends since before we were born - our parents were college friends and Andrea and her sister were two of my first playmates. I was SO excited when Andrea and her husband Patrick asked me to photograph their new baby, Aurora.

Zach's Proposal to Kim (Central Park, NY)

My coworker Zach reached out to me about photographing his proposal to his girlfriend Kim in Central Park. Zach had put lots of planning and effort into the day and sent me (and a bunch of their friends who were involved) an email with the plan. Excerpt from said email:

Lindy and Willie's Newborn Session (Skyler)

Lindy & Willie live in the same town as me so photo sessions are super easy and fun with them. They always have new restaurant or running route recommendations for me as a relative newbie in town (Lindy grew up here). Despite a few tears at the beginning, Skyler was just as photogenic as her parents and she worked a handful of excellent outfits styled by her mother.

Dylan's Proposal to Jocelyn (Garden City, NY)

Dylan reached out to me in early April about photographing his proposal to his girlfriend, Jocelyn in Garden City, NY later that month. The plan was to go out for a weekend run (something they often do together) and pass by a gazebo where he would lead Jocelyn to and ask her to marry him.
