Lucy {Central Park NYC}

It’s a SPECIAL occasion when I get to shoot along another photographer!  This happened when I met up with AMBI with Aniville Daniel Photography!  We kicked it up a little bit and made our meeting place in CENTRAL PARK of NYC!  Ambi loves to photograph dancers and her model for the day was LUCY who was not only BEAUTIFUL, but amazingly GRACEFUL and FLAWLESS!  Thank you, Ambi, for your FRIENDSHIP and our time together was such a FUN, creative GIFT from ABOVE! :)

QUINN {Central Park, NYC}

Thank you, Quinn, for being the person that you are.  I am thankful to know you and amazed with your love for God, sweetness, and maturity that’s unusual for your age.  I’m beyond humbled that God gave us this time together.  I still can’t quite wrap my head around the reality that I captured you as a Princess in Central Park in New York City!  These photos serve as proof that our God has a sense of humor…and you are BEAUTIFUL!

NYC {the city that truly never sleeps}

Last month,  I had an opportunity to travel to  NYC for work and pleasure.  I can’t tell you how much it blessed my heart to experience new things and being spoiled rotten by my little brother. :)  Love this city.  What you see here are images from Union Square, Central Park, the subway, and bits and pieces of the quaint neighborhood of Brooklyn.

P.S.  If you’re in Brooklyn, my favorite pick for a restaurant is Chavela’s!  Voted best 10 Mexican restaurants and I promise you won’t be disappointed!  And if you’re looking for a church to visit, I can’t say enough about The Brooklyn Tabernacle Church with Jim Cymbala as pastor. :)
