Brrrrrrrr....

Is it just me or was it warmer this time of the year last year? Brrrrr... The plus side (at least I see it as a plus) is that there is sooo much snow in NYC right now!!! It looks so beautiful outside... I need to work on some pictures, so I can't go out and about shooting the city like I would like to (plus it is nice and cozy on my apartment :-) )... so I'll just post a couple of old snowy pictures instead (taken at different times and not necessarily related).

Have a lovely warm weekend!!!

P.s.: If you are after snow, but something a little "sunnier", here posts showing snow (Wedding/Engagement photography):

A Winter New York Afternoon: Joy and Joe's Engagement Shoot

Joe and Joy love each other and love living in New York. They are also super-cute together, but they are pretty discrete (not big on PDAs), so we picked something simple, nice and very "them" for their engagement: a nice New York afternoon.

We decided to have a warm coffee (at DOMA Gallery and Coffee), walk around Greenwich Village and West Village and finished up with a stop in Grand Central station, which are all cool places linked to their lives in Manhattan (Joe went to grad school at NYU and Joy goes by Grand Station everyday).

It was reaaaaally cold, but they pulled it off very nicely! Isn't Joy gorgeous and stylish even when she is freezing cold? It was great to spend a cozy winter afternoon with these two.

Congratulations on your engagement, Joy and Joe!

Boudoir Shoot... featured on Victoria with Roses!

This morning I was thrilled to see my pictures on the gorgeous (and charming) wedding blog Victoria with Roses! (Thank you so much, Victoria for the post!).

Now brace yourselves for the content... a boudoir shoot... featuring (gulp) yours truly! Those of you who know me personally may know that I ironically really suffer if I need to in front of the camera (maybe that is why I started being the one *taking* the pictures early on)... but my husband always complains of my lack of pictures and I thought this would be a lovely surprise for him on valentine's day... (boy was he surprised!).

Here is a little something on the theme. I think more traditional boudoir shots can look very good for the right people... but that is just not us. So I decided to use a more natural style, with a lot of sunlight and wearing things I normally wear.

To make things personal, I included some pictures of a series of photographs that I took ago of him while he was sleeping in beautiful sunlight coming through the window of our tiny Manhattan apartment, a bit over a year ago (you can see some of them here, if you are curious. I love taking pictures of him). I liked how peaceful he was sleeping in the original pictures and I think they have some the love I feel for him, and how cozy our little den is. So I decided to include them and do my boudoir shoot on the same place, under the same sunlight... and for full disclosure, we call each other 'piggy' (which is why I gave him the shirt).

Well, enough chit chat... time to see some booty! :-)

***Warning: you may see more of me that you want to!*** ... but no more than you would if we went to the beach together :-)

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Happy V-Day!!!!

Hope you are you are having
a lot of fun with your valentine!!!
