Wedding Album: Erin & Jimmy

I love everything about wedding albums, and I’m very excited to finally share this one! Erin and Jimmy’s album from their gorgeous NYC wedding turned out to be one of my favorites so far:-) I think the finished album really showcases what an amazing wedding this was, and I am loving the silver cover that Erin picked out! Many thanks again to Erin’s wonderful wedding planner, Lauren of Loli Events, and my second shooter for the day, David Toth:-)

New Arrival

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here… so much to catch up on! I’ll be posting up a bunch of new weddings and other sessions soon, but I thought I’d post up about my big news first:)My husband and I are the proud new parents of a little boy! It has definitely been a lifestyle change for us, since it also meant moving out of NYC and to the suburbs of Long Island (it’s been a busy year for us!), but it has been such a joy to be a parent. I am so in love with this little guy!
