    meghan & erich’s engagement party

    It makes me so happy to see things at least kind of starting to get back to something resembling normalcy. Like parties with people we love to celebrate special occassions. This was a great one- celebrating Meghan & Erich’s engagement with a small luncheon with some of the most important people to them. Monaghan’s did an amazing job with the restaurant, Art Flowers with the florals and details, and Front Street with the cakes. (Mom loves to support local small business, which I also very much appreciate!) Can’t wait to do a spring session outside for this couple and then their wedding in December. Maybe by then, this whole pandemic nightmare will be over? We can hope.

    kenneth & sarah get engaged!

    Right after Christmas, I got to be stealth/ninja photographer and photograph Kenneth proposing to Sarah in Astoria Park! Kenneth got in touch to see if we could work it out where I could capture the proposal itself on the downlow and then stay for a few family/engagement photos afterwards. Between Kenneth and Sarah’s friend Chelsea, we worked out all the details and were able to totally get it done seamlessly. It was awesome!! Sarah was definitely totally surprised and so happy!! And then as another surprise, both Kenneth’s and Sarah’s families were in hiding in the park too and popped up right after the big moment for hugs, congratulations and champagne. It was a perfect shoot to end 2020 on a high note. Wishing Kenneth & Sarah all the happiness in the world!

    meghan & erich are engaged!

    I had the pleasure of photographing this fun, outdoorsy couple for their official engagement session. I will be hanging with them all day on Saturday when Meghan is serving as maid of honor at her sister’s wedding that I am also photographing. Maybe this family should just keep me at their house? And how much do we love the Star Wars part of their session?!

    meghan & erich’s engagement party

    In the midst of one (of four) sister’s countdown to her wedding, another sister got engaged too! I’m so happy I was able to be there for the little pop-up party to celebrate the newest engaged couple. Erich popped the question up in a hot air balloon in Vermont and then they drove down to see their families and celebrate together. So be on the lookout for lots of pictures coming from this couple in the near future and wish them lots of congratulations!

    catie’s bridal shower {a pink fairytale}

    Be forewarned, a LOT of pictures ahead. There were just so many great details and special moments that I couldn’t even pick and choose. It was an amazing day for a special girl put together by the best team (her mom and sisters- I’m totally hiring them for my next party!). Not a detail was missed and everything was so beautiful!! (big shoutout to Keith at Art Flowers & Gift in RVC- the flowers and everything else they did were perfect). Austin came for a few minutes at the end to play some games and he was surprised with a cake just for him! He just got a new awesome job at RocNation that he’s super excited about so send him congrats too! His gift to Catie was a calendar of just him. A picture for every month in the corresponding costumes. It was hysterical! Even with masks, fewer guests and socially distanced partying nothing could’ve put a damper on the fun and love of the day.
