Snow in October?

Yes.  You read right. It is snowing in October in the Northeast.  I am not too sure what mother nature is thinking, but if I recall correctly, we are not supposed to have snow in October! Especially this close to Halloween?  Who wants to trick or treat with sludge on the ground?

This totally unexpected snow reminded me of one thing though:  Do not wait to do things you really want to do, if you lose the opportunity, you won't know when the next opportunity arises.  When I first saw that it was snowing I was a little bit worried because I have fall sessions set up for the upcoming week!  Now grant it, a snow themed shoot would be very pretty, but we weren't going for snow!  But according to the weather channel, the rest of the week is supposed to be in the 50's with no snow.  So I will be keeping my fingers crossed.

In the meantime, check out this sneak peak from my last fall engagement session. This is what October is supposed to look like!

Engagement Session-Fredia and James

The summer is over, and it seems like some days mother nature forgot the memo that we are in fall and not winter.  But she did give us a break this past Saturday when I shot the engagement session for Fredia and James.  They are getting married in just a few weeks, so with their wedding right around the corner we headed out to Battery Park, again one of my favorite places to photograph.  They had their son Lawrence with them, who is adorable and has the coolest glasses (yes, I am totally jealous of them).  So this turned out to be both an engagement session and a family session.  Here are a few images!

And here is a shot of the awesome family having fun on the pier

I just love the image below.  Being a mom makes me extra sappy now!

{Double Engagement Session Love!}

This post is extra special, because it features not one, but two awesome engagement sessions. That's right folks, you get double the love, double the hugs, double the kisses, and double the engagement rings! Why the double session?  Well, the first session was actually shot a few weeks ago, back in March.  The bride and groom used the images from their engagement session as custom labels for their favors. And what awesome favors they were!  Jones Soda bottles. I didn't even know you can upload custom labels for that!  I love Jones Soda, so many yummy flavors.  So it has been a while, but I am finally glad to share the images from Jenna and Kevin's session. Oh, and of course, a huge congrats to them! They were married this past Saturday-April 30, 2011!  Here are their pictures. Swoon!







Now, the next session I am going to show you is from this weekend with Niya and Richard.  They are getting married in June, and poor Richard tore his ACL playing soccer. So the fella was limping all about.  We decided to go with an easy-going picnic themed shoot so that we didn't have to have him walking around much.  Now, this was an epic picnic. Niya went all out on setting up the food and props. Picnic blanket, picnic basket, chicken, strawberries, grapes, crackers, cheese, humus, apple cider, and more stuff! Plus...a guitar! Yay for guitars!  Here are their photos:













So congrats to both awesome couples!  Till next time :) Pin It
