A New York Photo Session

I have never been very good at taking pictures.  I am not {necessarily} talking about how they turn out – I mean just getting them snapped.  While some people have pictures from just abut every experience they have had, I have about 2 pictures, total.  I have always been having too much fun to remember to document the moment, or at least that is what I tell myself.

So as Billy and I were planning to move back to California, I got a little bummed realizing we had almost no pictures of our time in New York.  We had plenty of shots of dinners, but hardly anything else.

So before we left, I called Katie Murphy, who I met at a Sunday Suppers Dinner, and asked if she would be available to do a little photo session of us at some spots around the city.

We got some great images on the Highline, in the Meatpacking District, in front of The Standard (where we lived when we arrived and our first apartment didn’t *quite* work out), in a NYC yellow cab and along the Brooklyn Bridge.

It was such a great thing – not just for posterity’s sake – but we had fun kind-of saying good-bye to all those places, knowing that next time we see them, it will just be as visitors.

I think a lot of people rarely get a photographer just for themselves – it is usually for big occasions – weddings, babies and then regularly with children.  After this, I must say, don’t wait for a reason – get some fun, but good, photographs now! (And if you are in New York, I definitely recommend calling Katie!!)
