Friday's Favorite Things #1 | Personal (NYC Photographer)

Friday's Favorite Things...something new I'd like to share with you each week. This week is a bit more personal, but each week is different, so you never know what you might find on Friday's.

It seems the snow fall is never going to stop in NYC this winter! In truth, I don't really mind snow, but I'll be honest, winter with an infant has not proved to be my favorite thing. It makes getting around the city with a stroller or an ergo carrier a bit cumbersome. Add that to all the layers that exist between my own winter clothing and his and you have one bundled mess. BUT this Blog post is called "favorite things", so let me tell me what I do like. I love when there's a lot of snow and for a moment the whole city is covered in white. I love that everyone heads outside to sled (little kids and big kids alike). And this past snowfall I got to introduce Jack to all of that. He and I headed to Riverside Park to meet a friend for Jack's first sledding experience (a great place to be on a snowy day by the way...the parks and recreation staff set up the hills for sledding and make hot chocolate for everyone). He loved the action of all the kids screaming and running around him and while a bit perplexed by the sled itself, he loved being pulled around with me on it. Here's just a glimpse of our first sled together.

New Blog!

I guess you can tell already, but I'm so excited about my new Blog layout! It's all thanks to Lindsey Nicole Design. There's still some personalization left to be done, but the biggest changes are complete and they look fabulous! Take a minute and look around and of course, let me know what you think.

PS- Check out the website too...I've been working on this for a little while:)

Metro/RMM Staff Photos: Part 1 (NYC Photographer)

I believe my connection to Metro Baptist Church and Rauschenbusch Metro Ministries is no surprise, especially since my husband Alan serves as Pastor there. But despite my obvious reasons for being a part of this church and it's non-profit, it is home for me in the city. It's a place to belong, it's a community to serve with, it's where my son is loved and adored...and that is no small thing. These are a few of the staff who make up the Metro/RMM community, Part 2 will come when the weather allows us back on the roof again (can you tell I'm ready for spring?).

Schiavone Preview (NYC Family Photography)

I knew this would be a fun shoot the minute I walked in to the Schiavone house and saw Vincent's huge smiling face. There was also a familiar face in the room, Sara Maiello is the godmother of Vincent and was there to be photographed too. With 20 degree weather outside, we stayed indoors for this shoot, but the shots are still great. And let's not forget the big brother...2 year old Jason brought his spunk and personality to the morning too:) Thank you Schiavone family! More to come...

All 15 of us...

A family gathering cannot go without a family photo. This year, my family totals 15 in all...we gained 2 since our last family holiday. There was no fancy set up for this shoot, just a tripod and self timer. As the photographer's spouse, Alan had the fun job of running to and from the camera each shot:) I hope you're holidays were filled with good friends and family and maybe a little photo shoot of your own.
