On the Streets of Brooklyn

    Tamara & Robin - An adorable couple I had the privilege of meeting and getting to know over the past few months.  On an beautiful summer day we decided to walk the streets of Brooklyn, NY for an outdoor photoshoot.  As most of you know, I've suffered an injury to my back and hamstring and have not been able to do any work.  I didn't want the month to go by without a blog post, so here is a sneak peek of one of many up-coming photography adventures.

A Piece of Me - Central Café

  A few weeks ago I had the privilege to second shoot a wedding along side the talented Donna Cheung of Donna Cheung Photography.  The job was up in Connecticut. Which meant I had to take the Metro North from Grand Central Station to get there.  I of course arrived early, purchased my ticket, and went outside to kill time before my train was scheduled to leave.  As a photographer I see the world in cropped images, constantly thinking to myself - THAT would be a GREAT photo!!! So naturally, when I saw the Pershing Square - Central Café, I imeadiately took my camera out of my bag and photographed this cool shot. I have yet to eat at this place, but it's definitely on my list of all the never-ending things to do in NYC.  The wedding in Connecticut was SPECTACULAR, one of the BEST I've experienced. Photos of that wedding to come soon!! For now, I'll leave you with this special shot of A Piece of Me.

A Piece of Me - New York

By the 3rd day I was missing my apartment. Me, the CALIFORNIA GIRL - (and proud of it!), the anti-New Yorker, the girl who hates walking everywhere and who despises the dirty, grimy, and sometimes smelly subway stations; the girl who on her darkest day sometimes sits on the train and wonders WHY ON EARTH would anyone want to live in NYC!!!??? I had somehow FINALLY made New York my home. 

The Wedding of Jenn & Ryan

This was my very FIRST wedding experience as a second shooter.  What can I say? It was SUPER FUN, exciting, heart warming, memorable and surprisingly VERY FULFILLING! I am truly happy to finally accomplish something I used to think I would never have the courage or the skill to do, or even TRY. I still have a lot to learn and I'm looking forward to many, many, MANY more weddings in the future! (I hope).
