Angela in New York City

I had been wanting to shoot around my apartment building ever since I moved in, and I had the chance with Angela.

Queens wedding of Cheri and Angel

There was so much laughter at the wedding of Cheri and Angel; just like a celebration should be!

Soapology in the West Village

I loved the feel of the West Village store, Soapology: warm, cozy, and so many great smells! I was shooting the owner, Francine, and details of the store for her pages in the upcoming CRAVE book.

The first thing she showed me was the car they have parked right out front: loved it!


A detail of the top: what a great way to get people to come in the store!


How can you not love a store with a bathtub in the back?


Handmade soaps


Sea salt scrubs (I love these!)






The lovely Francine

Fat Witches Bakery in Chelsea Market

It's always a good day when I get to start out photographing and smelling brownies all morning. Yum! I headed in to Chelsea Market to photograph Patricia of Fat Witches Bakery.

I love the polka dotted packaging on these brownies


Such an adorable logo


Fat Witch Babies! 3-bite sized brownies; super cute.




Fat Witch owner, Patricia, with her brownie cookbook

Yvette Rose of Joulebody

I spent the morning with Yvette of Joulebody, a yoga, fitness, and nutrition company, to prepare for her page in the upcoming CRAVE book.

One of her services is the Kickstart Diet, a cleansing program she developed. She let me sample some of the products once we were finished, and they were wonderful!









Yvette demonstrated a few yoga poses, and I just love her smile in this one


A meditative portrait

Central Park baby and toddler session with Emma and Ally

Play time with Emma and Ally!

Central Park baby and toddler session with Henry and Grace

A fun afternoon with siblings Henry and Grace!

Henry was happy and smiley the whole time


He was really enjoying eating dirt, grass, and leaves


Three cheers for Henry!




Grace was in more of a serious mood that day


Loved her boots!
