new york, new york…here we come!

this trip is evidence that dreams come true!  katiebeth & i are *huge* fans of new york. before i spent time there, i thought london was the closest cool city – and while london is a favorite, new york has won me over in a huge way!  so, here’s the scoop…we have a handful of clients that live there, and a few that live here that are there frequently so we got in touch with them via email and one day is already booked up, so talk it over with girlfriends, sisters, spouses and let us know if you’re interested in making amazing shots in central park with us april 2-4th*!

we’re thinking of rowboats under the picturesque bridges in central park, and ice cream while sitting in the iconic benches…an adventure, all captured by your adoring photographer :)  and really, who goes to ny without a personal photographer these days ;)

and if you weren’t already convinced you needed a little more new york time, take a peek at all the fun things we’re trying to choose from while we’re there…

the etsy lab

sprinkles, crumbs, and magnolia bakery

cloisters museum – dedicated to the art & architecture of europe during the 12-15th century

the frick collection

jacques torres – for a chocolate chip cookie**

storm king art center

shake shack…love it!!

bubby’s (for rosemary baked mac n cheese…and pie…pie seems to be a recurring item on my travel itineraries ;) and to get photos in vintage photo booths like the one they have in the basement of their tribeca location)

something else from the union square hospitality group – maybe gramercy tavern?

wandering around the many amazing floors of abc carpet & home

do dish, where do you love to go in new york?

* this is spring break for fayette county, the lexington school & sayre :)

**merci to mara for the leads on storm king, the mac n cheese & chocolate chip cookies!

    Ahhhh, I’m so envious! I’ve never been to the big apple but have always wanted to go with a group of girlfriends :). Of course, it would be wonderful to have such a moment documented by you. I think it’d be fun to go during the Christmas season minus the cold……I posted some travel maps on the blog today. They made me think of you!
