I was recently in New York City…which is one of my favorite places in the world…actually! While here, I was able to do some modeling shots. I just love how natural and mysterious these shots turned out. Basically my shooting in Manhattan consists of hitting some of the hot spots and taking advantage of what might come our way in the process. While walking to Little Italy for some lunch we happened upon a clothing sample sale. The cream blouse we purchased for ten bucks and it was a perfect fit and a perfect accessory for the New York City public library, which is AMAZING. If you have not had a opportunity to experience the library in Manhattan, it is must see. This is the setting for the wedding that was supposed to take place in Sex in the City. Anyways, my model is a very intellectual young woman, so using the library as a setting in our pictures, was just the perfect inspiration for capturing a deeper side.

I was so excited to happen upon the flower shop on the corner of HWY 34 and HWY 54. It turned out to be a wonderful background. It is fun and whimiscal. I really enjoyed shooting here and I love finding new shooting spots. Sometimes you just have to take the blinders off and look at the world through different eyes. I have driven past this shop so many times and it was’nt until just recently I thought what a great photography spot it would be…Well it was. Kayla did a great job…and I love her taste in clothes. It was a fun session….hopefully she enjoyed it too. 

Yes it is true these images were shot in New York City! Of course this opportunity does not come around everyday but when it does it is worth embracing. It was a wonderful experience to photograph Ulena, a professional model, in the most alive and exciting city in the USA! Gotta love NYC!
