[ :: Valentine’s Day Giveaway Winners :: Nancy and Joe ]

Their love story….

Nancy and Joe both live ย in north jersey.ย They have been part of the same church for about 14 years now.. He’d said “Hello!” and “Bye” on Sundays after church and occasionally when he would stop by the pharmacy where Nancy works. Nancy would get flustered and turn red as she greeted him back.. ย She always had a crush on Joe and whenever she did run into him, she’d text her best friend AnnMarie and tell her all about it. She even remembers saying to her once, “He loves me; he just doesn’t know it yet.”

Well, about a year later, Nancy was at a church servants’ meeting and so was Joe. He was a Sunday School teacher and she was there because she run an arts and crafts program for the young ones on Sunday nights during the summer months. She happened to be taking classes that summer – Joe is a special education teacher and he’s working on a master’s right now – and it just so happened that his only night off was Sunday. Joe asked her if she needed help with the program, as heย was free. She, of course, jumped on the opportunity. Their story goes from there.. He started texting Nancy, then calling, then finally asked her to lunch. They saw each other everyday for the rest of that summer. On November 14th, 2009, Joe proposed!! They haven’t set a date for the wedding yet – but just know it will be summer of 2011.

and oh! I forgot to mention… Joe never showed up to help with arts and crafts that summer !! It was just an excuse ๐Ÿ˜‰

Congrats to Nancy and Joe for winning my Valentine’s Day Giveaway. Stay tuned for their session pictures!!

Enjoy the day made for LOVE! XoXo to All!!

[ JUSTINE — The Movie ] New York City

My friend Eric Dickens asked me a few months ago to shoot stills for a short film JUSTINE that he wrote and was directing. I always jump at the opportunity to help a friend making their dreams a reality.

::SYNOPSIS::

JUSTINE is trapped in a world where her courage is tested. JUSTINE is confronted with traumatic news as she aspires to become a working actress. With regret and reluctance, Justine is forced to make like changing decisions that will ultimately detour her relationship and dreams.

Eric has entered JUSTINE into various film festivals and I have no doubt that this is his stepping stone to the big screen.

You might recognize actress Nia Fairweather from the 80’s Babies post last year. I totally love her!

[ NYC Engagement ] Jennifer + Sheldon

So I was ubber excited when I got the news that Jen+Shel were engaged!

Shel proposed to Jen on 9/9/09 in Jamaica while attending another friends wedding who got engaged on 8/8/08…So keeping in the tradition Jen + Shel have set their wedding date for 10/10/10… I totally LOVE traditions!! ๐Ÿ™‚

Of course I jumped at the opportunity to photograph their engagement session. They gave me full range and I ran with it. Since the leaves were in the midst of changing and the colors outside were divine I knew I wanted to use St. Nicholas Park, a beautiful little park right in front of City College. The day was perfect, weather was delightful, and Jen + Shel were so darn cute!ย  Jen’s hair was styled perfectly and Shel’s hair was sooo nice as well! — She did herself if I might add!

Jen you are BEAUUUTIIFULLL!!!!! ๐Ÿ˜€

The first thing Jen told me when she booked the shoot was that she and Shel weren’t a “lovey dovey” couple…..

I promise you this is TRUE love!

and her ring is DELICIOUS!! ๐Ÿ™‚
