I’ve mentioned it on twitter and facebook, but I thought I’d post it on my blog as well, just to cover all my social networking bases.
I’m looking for Brooklyn-based couples for a free (yep, totally free) engagement session. Send me an email for more details if you’re interested and please spread the word!
Update: It felt weird to post a blog with no photo!
Meet little Gavin!
On Friday afternoon I spent some time with Gavin and his family. He’s a totally adorable newborn and I’m really excited to share a sneak peek with you! Stay tuned for more adorableness…
On Wednesday, I headed to Bay Ridge for Sam and Lee’s engagement session. I had such a great time getting to know them – it made me super excited to photograph their wedding next month!
When I turned up to their apartment, they had set up their Scrabble board to be photographed. For those who don’t know, I’m a scrabble fanatic, so this was very very exciting to see and a great way to start off the shoot!
Right now I’m in the process of updating my website, so please excuse its messiness! 2009 came and went so quickly and I don’t think I took the time to update my site more than once… oops! So as part of my new year plans, I’m taking the time to add new galleries (yippee!) and new features to bring my site up to speed. After all it is 2010!
Since the site is currently down, I wanted to make sure the blog is as current as can be. This past weekend I kicked the new year off in style with a wonderful (and absolutely freezing!!!) wedding shoot in lower Manhattan. Despite the unbearable temperature, we got some pretty amazing shots! Here are my favorite two so far. More to come though!
I’m so happy to be posting my best of engagement shoots for 2009. It was only mid-2009 that I began including engagement shoots as a part of my wedding package, but I’ll never go back! I have found that brides and grooms who take advantage of engagement shoots feel more at ease being photographed on their wedding day. They know how I work and we both get to know each other’s personalities more. It’s like a dress rehearsal!
I interrupt my ‘Best of…” blogs to bring you the following series.
Bright and early this morning I was forced to head outside, not even realizing at first, that it was snowing! While I only had to walk about 5 short and 2 long blocks, I still felt a bit annoyed by having to venture out into the cold. After bundling up and stepping outside, I decided to make the best of it and capture the beautiful snowfall with my iPhone and the CameraBag app.
I really really really love Brooklyn. It’s a pretty inspiring place to live. I try so hard not to take it for granted, but I definitely do sometimes. Especially with the cold, snowy weather, this morning was a nice change to not be rushing to the subway or lugging all my camera gear (though part of me wishes I had brought my 5DmkII). It was just me, empty streets, some fresh snow and a coffee.
Happy New Year everyone!
After a couple of relaxing days (ahhh…), I’m really excited to post my best of kids blog! It’s been tough choosing my top ten photos, but also really fun to revisit all of the family and preschool shoots I’ve done this year. Enjoy!!!
Stay tuned for best of engagement shoots…
Wow. When I started going through these baby photos, I was amazed at how many babies I’ve photographed this year! Obviously photographing babies is a total joy and picking a ‘best of…’ selection was really hard. All my favorites ended up being black and white images, which I found interesting. I’m going to try to keep my ‘best of…’ posts to ten images. So here are my top ten favorite baby photos of 2009…
… Stay tuned for best of preschoolers!
Last Tuesday, I spent the day at Space4Shoots in Manhattan doing a series of headshots. While I love on location shoots, it’s also really nice to be in the studio for the day, especially when it’s freezing out! Here are a few of my favorite shots from the day.
I know, it’s been a long time since I’ve blogged and I still haven’t blogged photos from England! I’m actually pretty behind on posts, but instead of playing catch up, I’m going to blog my shoot from this weekend.
On Saturday I had the pleasure of capturing Amanda and Paul’s wedding which was extra special for me, because Amanda and I used to work together (in my previous life as a speech therapist). Knowing Amanda, I knew it’d be a good time, but I’m not sure I was prepared for how awesome an event it would be! The wedding and reception took place at The Loft in Montclair, NJ – a beautiful space. Amanda, Paul, their families and friends were such a blast to be around and to photograph. Truly, it was a perfect end to the 2009 wedding season!
During the making of this comedic shot, Amanda was only slightly injured…
I don’t normally put family portraits on my blog or even website, but there is just something about this photograph (the couches were all Amanda’s idea) that I really love.
First dance.
Fake dancing.
Real dancing.
It took a bit of effort to get Paul on the dancefloor…
But he did alright once he got there!
Amanda is stunningly beautiful in that first picture… VERY NICE And what a beautiful dress 
Really great looking wedding, and I like the pics of the kids being kids!
those are some fancy looking shoes – beautiful!
Beautiful pictures-Kristina, you did an awesome job!
What a beautiful bride! That first photo is absolutely stunning – she looks like she stepped out of a vintage copy of Vogue. Great work, as always. Glad to see you’re back to blogging!
