Little Kenz | Queens Family Photography

This past Saturday I met up with Cathy, Kevin and their little girl Kenzie in Queens, NY! This was an especially special family session for me as our story goes back to before they were married! Through a series of fortunate events, Cathy and Kevin found themselves in Syracuse and decided to hire me for their engagement photos and to capture their wedding day! They wanted their engagement photos in San Francisco (where they lived at the time) and they needed their wedding photographer to also be able to capture their special day in NYC! This seemed impossible to them, however through MORE fortunate events, I was going to be traveling to San Francisco to capture a wedding just a few weeks after we chatted and I’d also be in NY for the date of their wedding! We were a match made in heaven… ok… THEY are the match made in heaven- I just happen to be a perfectly sized photographer puzzle piece!

All of this to say, when Cathy reached out to me recently about going to Queens, NY to capture their growing family, I couldn’t say ‘YES!’ fast enough! Meeting little Kenzie was such a joy! She’s a cute little stinker with a big personality! We started at a cool cafe (yummy coffee!) called White Noise and then moved on to finish up at a pretty little area by the name of Kissena Park

This photo has got to be one of my favorites! It’s the kind of moment that lasts about one second… I saw it take shape before it happened and boom! Got it! So glad!

… and of course, a sleepy Kenz was how we finished our photo session! She was a great sport in the chilly weather and well deserving of a cozy nap!

I had an awesome time with Cathy and Kevin and it was beyond wonderful to meet their little addition! Here’s to you two and your little lady!


Steph & Joe | Brooklyn Engagement

Steph and Joe fell in love many years ago… and have decided to make it official next year with the exchanging of rings… and a few other wedding things! I’m so stoked to photograph their big day outside of Syracuse in Albany next year! We wanted to get to know each other and create some awesome photos for Steph and Joe to use for save the dates and whatever other cool purposes they have in mind… so we met up in Brooklyn and had an awesome engagement session adventure! We started at a little bar called The Keep and then moved around Bushwick which is always a fun spot to photograph! After Bushwick we made our way over to Brooklyn Bridge Park which is also always a gorgeous shooting location! Steph and Joe are totally naturals in front of the camera… it’s as if they’ve been modeling for years! When Steph commented ‘This isn’t as uncomfortable as I thought it was going to be!’… it took me by surprise that they hadn’t ever been really photographed before! They’re so comfortable and have awesome chemistry! Take a look and see for yourself!


I can’t wait to capture Steph and joe on their wedding day next year…. til then, here’s to you two!
