Amy & Richard Engagement

"Meredith meet Amy and Richard, Amy and Richard, meet Meredith..." so went the email from our mutual friend and all around awesome guy, Josh.  We planned to meet for an engagement session in Long Island City, and I have to admit, I had no idea what sort of location it was going to be.  As we drove up to the piers, my heart jumped all around in my chest.  OH MY GOODNESS, perfeeeeeeectioon.

Amy and Richard made my job so easy, first by choosing an amazing location, and then secondly, by being wildly in love with each other.  You hear about love feeling like you're the only people on the planet... Watching Amy and Richard, I totally understand that.  The way Richard makes Amy laugh one second and then melt into her stunning smile the second, and the way Amy's eyes lock into Richard's and hold his undivided attention is absolutely mesmerizing.  Of course, that is until Mr. Softie drives by... at that point, all bets are off. ;)

The wedding is happening in less than two weeks(!) at the Water's Edge and I am so honored that Amy and Richard chose me to be their photographer.  I know it's going to be such a beautiful day and I'm so looking forward to capturing their love again.

The N Family

Being a big brother is a tough job.  Having to share your toys, learning to share Mom and Dad, and dealing with little creatures crawling on you and tugging at you all day long.  When I first met J, he was shy and bashful, unsure of me and my camera.  His little siblings, one year old Baby J and Baby K, on the other hand were crawling around, happy and oblivious to me, searching for blocks and testing out new wobbly legs and first steps.  I asked J if he could help me during the session, because certainly he knew the babies much better than I did.  With that, the shy, bashful boy left and the Big Brother emerged, confident and willing to help.  I knew immediately how lucky these two little twins were to have such a great big brother.
