Earlier this month, I got a chance to wander around New York City with my husband. Here are some of the scenes that caught my eye:

The city was full of street artists

You know you're in Chinatown when...

Apparently, New Yorkers are serious about their parking...

A Christmas Photo Session [Arthur, Nicole, and Jayla]

I had so many favorites with this session that it was hard to narrow them down. Nicole found me through my blog and wanted to schedule a Christmas session for her family. Once we started talking, we realized that I knew her boyfriend Arthur from work. When we met for the session, their little girl Jayla definitely stole the show. Let the swooning begin!

 

Isn't she adorable?! These were a few candid moments :)

Shooting with Joy [Meet Joy G.]

Please do not crop out my logo, edit, duplicate or change my image in any way. Thank you!

I met Joy in college and we instantly connected because we found out we were Jersey girls attending school in Virginia. When Joy approached me about shooting this session, I was excited because we would get a chance to catch up on each other's lives. She is working on starting a business called Vintage Love, where she will sell handcrafted jewelry and accessories. This shoot was a little bit of a struggle for me because I don't know much about vintage. My idea of vintage was basically converting shots to black and white and kicking up the grain. Every shoot is a learning experience, right? Here are just a few shots from her session.

Meet the Nowlins [Christmas Family Session]

I learned recently that the biggest compliment I can have as a photographer is repeat business. If you've been following my main blog, you've seen a couple of these faces before. Machelle and little Sasha-Madison are back with the rest of their family in this post for a Christmas Family photo session. 

 My favorite shots were the silly ones :)

 

Also kudos to Machelle for finding these Christmas sweaters. I will definitely be keeping Ross in mind for my Christmas sweater next year. ;)

 The little ones were worn out by the end of the shoot

 But fortunately, we were still able to get this shot :)

This family was so fun to work with. I love how each person had an individual personality during the shoot. I hope I was able to capture them so that the personalities shine through in these photos. 

Thank you, Nowlin family for allowing me to hang out with you!
