I love getting to take pictures of people that are in love. I'm obsessed with love. It's something that is constantly on my mind because it is such an unexplainable emotion and it can be shown in so many different ways. So, when I found out that Julie and Alicia were engaged, I knew I had to take photos!! I had so much fun with these two ladies. They even took me and my boyfriend Julian out to dinner to say thank you. (Sushi at Koo!! Delish) I really wanted to share these photos - they aren't my best, I'll admit. It was supposed to be sunny out and I kind of panicked when it wasn't! Practice makes perfect. I was debating whether or not to post these on here, but then I realized that I want you guys to be with me every step of the way. Good shoots, bad shoots, everything. This isn't your average photography blog. I was SO fortunate to meet and become friends with an amazing photographer who lives right down the road from me. She actually came along with me on this photo shoot. She has taught me so much already and has been really open to helping me learn the art of photography. PLUS she has an awesome son and husband who are just as sweet. I'm seriously so happy I met them! Show Jena some love @ http://www.jalviti.com/. Anyways, if you can overlook the minor yet obvious technical flaws and just enjoy this crazy adorable couple I would be super happy! Wow, I really used a lot of adjectives in this post. Oh well.

So what if I make my friends come hiking with me through random train tracks and old abandoned factories? I think they actually like it. This is one of my favorite shoots from a while back. One of the very few oldies that will actually make it on my blog. Thanks to Destiny and Dan for being models for me. I love these images! Is it corny to say that they're super special to me?! Oh well, cuz they are!

So I just finished up the semester on Wednesday with my last final and I didn't even get a chance to recuperate before I was snapping away with a super busy photography weekend. Thursday was head shots with Miss Connecticut, Friday Arielle Salon's grand re-opening party & Sunday was a family shoot with baby Nicholas followed by a 2nd birthday party in Stratford. Needless to say, I'm swamped with editing, sorting and delivering! But it's a really good, gratifying kind of busy. Like when you don't even have the time to think about the pointless crap that normally floods your mind? I am celebrating this busyness by laying on the couch all day, drinking cappuccinos with almond milk & catching up on all my work. 

Ok- back to the salon party. I had SO much fun celebrating the grand re-opening of Arielle Salon in Brewster, New York. It really looks absolutely beautiful. Congratulations to Robin and the girls! I know who I'll be calling next time I need a hair cut! It is such a great feeling when you get to be a part of something important.
