dear new york,

dear new york:

i am so excited to visit you next spring. i am also extremely anxious for us to really get to know each other over the next few years. i just wanted to let you know that my internship is finally falling in place. i have been accepted to work a business photo job 2 days a week at patricia mcmahon a fashion photography agency. they work with some pretty cool photog's who you should know pretty well. (www.patriciamcmahon.com harten is one of my faves)

also new york, please treat my bf jessa very well even though she is coming out before me. she really dosen't like the snow so if you could just cut back a little bit and help her find some cute sturdy boots i would appreciate it. also please help her find all the cool places to go so we can all 3 play in may.

anyway thanks for opening your arms to me so far i just wanted to let you know that for better or for worse i will definitely be seeing you on may 24th as a photo intern.

xoxo

she doesn't like to...

model for me.

i can't figure out why.

because she is beautiful

school

i am feeling completely overwhelmed with work and school right now. especially certain aspects of school, and i actually have felt this overwhelming frustration with a prof of mine lately....only 6 more months until late night movies in central park!

option 3

don't worry...

i should be studying for my arthistory test but i am just too excited about my latest project, i can't get myself to stop playing with the images and study... i have to post this image even though it isn't finished yet! good day all around.

kellie + jp

last friday i got the oppurtunity to photograph my dear friend kellie and her husband jp's luncheon on their special day. i had a lot of fun and really enjoyed getting to share and capture this special day with them. i am so glad i got to do this. i finally started working on images tonight. here are a few of them that i really love, they are absolutely adorable together and so happy. i hope they have a life full of wonderful things, i can't wait to share the pictures with them. congrats you two love birds so cute! (when i asked if they had any specific pictures they wanted to take that they hadn't yet and cute jp said yeah can we do one where i dip her when i kiss her? it was super cute!)

xoxo
