Starring… Pierre Downing

AK — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 17:10:35 +0000

You probably remember Pierre from the first season of BET’s Harlem Heights. In case you don’t, let me jog your memory. He was the tall, handsome young man working in community development. These days you can find him pursing his love of acting and modeling. And in general, leaving a lasting impression with his infectious smile.

Starring… Erin L.

AK — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 02:10:44 +0000

She’s fiery, she’s perceptive, she’s compassionate. And in the 90′s, she was once a fugitive in my backyard. We were both grounded for that one.

It’s true, you really do look back at things in life and laugh! Haaaa! Although, there was nothing funny about our punishments. Which gets me thinking… what shenanigans will I have to look out for from my future young ones.

And again, I am reminded here to let go and laugh more.

Snow Day! Harlem USA

AK — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 19:29:13 +0000

Today is a snow day! How cool is that? In LA, we might have gotten an El Nino day. But never a snow day. Living on the east really makes me appreciate what each season has to offer. I have to admit when my client in VA mentioned the snow they got last week, I was a wee bit jealous. Okay honestly, more than a wee bit. I LOVE SNOW. Love it! It makes me feel like I am seeing the world through a new set of eyes, like I am a child all over again learning what this world is about.

Miles and I just came in from a romp in the park. I am sitting here working, studying, watching the snow fall and eating my first PB&J sandwich in the last decade. Wondering, since when did these become so tasty?! Could it be the honey wheat bread and green tea addition?

And look what we found in Marcus Garvey Park, a snowman! What?! How cool are the kids in Harlem USA for this?!

Lindsay + Brice, Engagement in the Military

AK — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 14:32:07 +0000

Love finds you when you least expect it. Lindsay & Brice met in Pismo Beach, CA. Brice, originally from Missouri, was working there at the time and Lindsay happened to be visiting.Â She lived in Phoenix, AZ. After not being satisfied with long distance, he moved to be with her. And just a couple months ago, they were engaged.

Lindsay contacted me because at the last minute Brice was given an unexpected 4 day pass, which they planned to spend together in NYC. Brice is in the Military Police in the United States Army. A couple weeks ago, he deployed to Iraq, beginning a one year tour of duty.

I am honored that they chose me to capture their love at this time in their relationship. My gratitude is enormous for the men and women whose hearts lead them to serve. Thank you Brice for your courage and passion, and to your family for their strength.

Our session started in the heart of NYC, Times Square, and we walked to Central Park. Although, by the time we reached the park, it started to rain. It was a light rain but consistent, so we still got wet, and decided to end at the Columbus Circle Mall. Lindsay trooped it out and threw her hair into a ponytail. I love a girl who rolls with the punches.

Amanda + Rory, A Pier-side Wedding in CT

AK — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 13:47:21 +0000

Amanda & Rory were married in Greenwich, CT. at the Belle Haven Yacht Club. This turned out to be one of those perfect fall days, when the weather is not too hot and not too cold, it’s just right. And yes, while typing that, I found myself saying it out loud. The way that Goldilocks would have. “Juuuust Right!” I know, sometimes, I’m a dork, get over it.

Back to Amanda & Rory… I shot this wedding for Jennifer Davis. The style seemed to fall right out of yacht club heaven. The backdrop of the pier with the water and boats was absolutely gorgeous. It’s a scene I rarely get to see living in NYC. And those navy bridesmaids dresses really are super cute. What you can’t see is that they have pockets! I am in deep love with dresses with pockets. It’s the perfect effortless mix of chic and cool.
