May as well just call him Johnny Cash reincarnated. After I found out that old school country music was his jam, especially Johnny Cash, I knew I just had to go that way with the rest of the session. He even has a bit of a Cash accent and a similar look and he sounds like him when he sings and plays guitar. So awesome! This was a combo shoot senior session/family session, but I’m only posting this part for now so the family pictures can be a surprise for the holidays. I hope Nick has a great senior year and follows his dreams!

This lovely high school senior (and her also lovely mom), met me at the park close to their NYC home. And those of you who know me and my past obsession with Edward Norton, especially in the movie 25th Hour, can understand my excitement about shooting at this park as it was featured in the movie (the fight scene). Besides the Edward Norton connection, it is also a beautiful park and I had a beautiful subject! She also just signed with her college of choice to play Volleyball- so congratulations Avery! Looking forward to seeing all the amazing things she does in life!

I said I wasn’t going to go into the city this year for any shoots (or really, for any reason!) but then my camp friend Jodi asked me to do a senior session for her daughter Dylan and her friend Heidi and I knew I couldn’t pass it up. And I’m so glad I didn’t!! I had so much fun photographing these girls- they’re awesome, smart and sweet. Oh, and absolutely stunning!! And yes, I brought security with me (my friend Billy who is retired NYPD) because I really didn’t know what to expect in the city after hearing horror stories from so many friends. Billy did such a great job and doubled as a photography assistant too. I know its picture overload below, but I couldn’t decide since the girls were so gorgeous.
