I will gladly scout picturesque locations for a session, but I absolutely love when client’s choose to have their photos taken in a place that is special to them – as was the case for Denise’s portrait session. She chose to have her session all around the East Village and the downtown areas of NYC where she grew up. We stopped by her elementary school, local park, eateries – like Jack’s Stir Brew – as well as some other memory filled neighborhood spots. It was quite the adventure for us both: she revisited her old favorites and I discovered some new ones!
Amy - Sounds like a marvelous day! Also, after expending all that energy to pose and take photos, it should be required that you should have a place to stop for coffee and a sweet treat. Pretty sure.
Life with Kaishon - What a great place to shoot Maddy! I love it. I thought Denise was absolutely gorgeous. I adored her session!
Sabine - Great pictures! I think it’s a great idea to create a photo shoot around places that mean something to you – and for you as a photographer it must be so interesting to follow her on that route.
Sarah - Dodeline Design - I think that’s so much fun! These will be so invaluable one day to look back at the phases of your life as they were. You don’t realize how much things change and it will be so nice to have some of the “ordinary” places captured so beautifully!
Emily - That’s it I need to come to New York so you can teach me all your photo taking knowledge!! These are lovely as usual! XOXO ~ E
Tiera - Aww, I love the idea of taking photos at all those special places :) And I love the phoeos, especially the ones of the buildings. You make them look like they have so much character!
Christina Lee - I would love that– it would make it much more special and interesting!!
Cafe Fashionista - Oh, I absolutely love the inspiration and location behind this photo sesh, Maddy! I am obsessed with the East Village so this makes me all sorts of happy. Also…just these few photographs are exquisite – I want to see the rest! :)

Elle Sees - that is cool! i love it. happy easter to youuuu
Kristin - I would love to have you take my pics! Le sigh. And Jack’s looks like my kinda place!
The Guilty Hyena - Jack’s seems like a cozy nook in the village, I think we take it for granted the places we regularly or use to apprize and I know I would love to have some of them places preserved in photographs, as well as them being nostalgia.
Nancy - Gorgeous photos — you are such a pretty lady. :)
Carol - wow, what a lovely coffee shop ♥
Jo - i absolutely love the idea of people choosing to have their photo shoots in places that are special to them. what a magical experience for both the subject and the photographer!!
