Bea Osorio | SoHo, Manhattan | Lifestyle
I met up with Bea in SoHo and we basically couldn't stop talking. We walked the neighborhood chatting about our PR jobs and eventually found cute little spots to snap a photo or two.

Post-session we kept talking and ended up grabbing Thai food. I love it when clients become friends!

A Central Park Picnic with Shelcy & Christy | Central Park, NYC | Content Creation + Lifestyle
Cheers to summer! Fashion bloggers Shelcy & Christy curated the perfect summer picnic for this shoot.
Cheers to summer!
Working with Shelcy and Christy is always such a pleasure because they have very specific, editorial visions for what our shoots should look like.
The last time I worked with them, we went for a 60s/70s beach vibe at Coney Island (check out that post here), but this time we wanted to curate the perfect summer picnic in New York.
Thanks to my friend Ari at The Plaza, we got to use a beautiful picnic set! #perks
Do you have a favorite picnic spot in New York!? Let me know in the comments! I'm always looking for new spots.
Randi + WeSpeak | Chelsea, Manhattan | Lifestyle
This is Randi. She's one of We Speak's new recruits and I couldn't be more thrilled that she was the first girl I had the pleasure of working with.
I recently started a collaboration with the amazing modeling agency We Speak.
Too often, models are asked to meet unrealistic standards that compromise their own health and wellness. We Speak is dedicated to hiring diverse, healthy models in an attempt to help the industry grow in the right direction.
This is Randi.
She's one of We Speak's new recruits and I couldn't be more thrilled that she was the first girl I had the pleasure of working with. Her hair alone gave me so much life! She brought all her own clothes and we just played in the gorgeous studio space at The Alchemical.
You can check out Randi's instagram and We Speak's website and instagram for more information.

Friends who blog together stay together!
Ever since my blogger gal pal, Zafi, has become more involved in the New York blogger community, I have started tagging along to various events and happy hours as her photographer sidekick.
I grabbed a few quick shots of Marilyn and Zafi before a summer kick-off event a few weeks ago hosted by Out of Office NYC at the most amazing rooftop lounge, The DL, on the Lower East Side.

Sam & Hailey Gerrits Designs | Santa Barbara, California | Content Creation & Travel
We collaborated with boho jewelry designer Hailey Gerrits while we were in Santa Barbara, California!
During our trip to California, we stopped in Santa Barbara and had THE BEST TIME. (Shout out to Sue and Ian, our new friends from Australia.) We stayed in a dreamy airstream trailer airbnb and enjoyed bopping around the super cute coastal town.
A recap of our entire trip will be up on the blog later, so for now, here are some of my favorites from a shoot we did at our airbnb in collaboration with Hailey Gerrits Designs, a boho jewelry designer.

Tyler & Shelby | Washington Square Park Engagement Session | Lifestyle
Tyler & Shelby's Washington Square Park engagement was simply a dream.
Oh boy do I love proposals!
Tyler contacted me to set up the perfect moment for him to propose to Shelby. Being there to witness and preserve something so magical and romantic is really a privilege.
Take a peek through the photos and try not to swoon over these two.
Matt, Amelia & Gus | Astoria Park, Queens | Family + Lifestyle
A puppy + clients who love Ru Paul's Drag Race = very happy Rachel
This session was SO MUCH FUN!
Any time you add a puppy to a session, I am one happy camper. (Seriously, bring your dog...)
Matt is a friend of a friend and he was looking to get some pictures of their new four legged family member, Gus! He is such a spunky little dude and was actually really good at posing--probably because we stuffed him full of treats.
Check out their waterfront session, but take a moment to mentally prepare yourself for the cuteness that is Gus.
