I have so much to share from the last month or so! Got in from Chicago today and am hitting the ground running.. still I had to take a moment to share one frame from katie and Darrell’s engagement session downtown Chicago yesterday. So much goodness. More from everything I’ve been doing to hit here soon!!!!
Sean and I photographed Nicole and Rich’s wedding Saturday in the Bronx, then we stayed in the city for two more days for some sightseeing! I’m headed out today after a one day pit stop back home to Chicago where I’ll be photographing engagement sessions and maybe catching some Surat at the Museum! Thought I’d share some of our snapshots!! Sean decided to use his iphone for most of his so it’s a pretty cool mix!!
we didn’t stay long in Times Square lol it was a crazy mess as always but the pano’s were fun, all the photos I took were mostly of people taking photos.
my favorite place to go to in NYC is MOMA.. all the other museums are great but I can get lost in here, all the beautiful familiar art and then always something new and interesting…
looking tough in the elevator at the pod where we stayed!!
and we decided this time we’d go to see the freedom tower (we watched the last bit placed on top Friday morning before we left) It was pretty emotional and very beautiful, the memorial was amazing and I might not go again, I’m so very glad we went.
Oh my gosh…the portrait of you with the love is seriously amazing. :)May 16, 2013 – 12:25 pm
Oh, I love all of them!! So many remind me of the little bit of time we got to explore the city, but I’m sure you had a much better time with your husband :) And the Pod! John and I stayed there last fall when we went. Looks like you had a good time; good for you guys! Post more of these personal pics, I love them!May 16, 2013 – 5:38 pm
I’m in the process of sorting and adding and updating my website (check out the new “featured” wedding gallery and keep an eye out for adds to the wedding stories!) and came across these three images of my bean Ares in his first time ever being a ring bearer… gah love, it’s been a few years but just so happy I have these.
Marty and I met years ago, online of all things, and since then we’ve been fast friends! A couple years ago I met up with her and her little to photograph them in Cleveland, she’s in DC and I’m in Detroit and we met half way! This year I got the whole crew and I would drive twice as far to photograph her and her beautiful family. thank you Marty and Marc and Peyton for being the most wonderful people you are!
Erin and Chip met at Mary Markley… which if you aren’t from U of M doesn’t make much sense, but if you know U of M is pretty romantic! They wanted to celebrate Ann Arbor with their engagement session and so we set off to see the sites! I didn’t get everything we photographed in this post but I sure tried, growing up in Ann Arbor it was super fun trying to make sure we hit everything from the Ann Arbor mural to the big M!
We sometimes work as photographers at being consistant, at showing the same thing the same way again and again, that is not what interests me. It is safe, and it is accessible but it is not what I love. I love working with seniors to show something about who they are, their quiet moments or their louder moments. Where they are at in this moment, because this moment is never going to happen again. Each young woman or young man I photograph has their own ideas of who they are, where they have been and where they are going and if I can help them express those things, even just a little bit, then I am doing what I set out to do.
“The mind I love most must have wild places, a tangled orchard where dark damsons drop in the heavy grass, an overgrown little wood, the chance of a snake or two, a pool that nobody fathomed the depth of, and paths threaded with flowers planted by the mind.”
