Wafeeqa's NYC Fashion Shoot

New York City is full of cool locations and hidden gems, and it’s always exciting stumbling across them while roaming around. Wafeeqa and I were doing an urban mini photoshoot, and instead of planning it all out, we decided we’d be spontaneous and go on a walk. Right as we started, we saw a (mostly empty) bus parked on the side of the road. Knowing that this bus was about to leave we ran to the bus and asked if we could use it for a couple photos. Thankfully the bus driver agreed, and we started shooting!

After that we walked to Columbus Circle and took some photos there as well. One of my favorite things about this location was the fact that it was both green and still urban. I usually shoot in nature so this was the perfect way to incorporate some nature into a city shoot. It was such a beautiful day, and I really love how the mall in the background creates a gorgeous backdrop

After this we walked around a bit more and decided to incorporate some of busy New York City into the background. The wind was blowing so perfectly and added such nice movement to the photos. Overall, I really feel like this mini shoot turned out amazing! We were both so happy with the outcome!

Diana's Studio Session

Diana was the winner of my annual photoshoot giveaway contest this year, and we finally had our shoot yesterday! Not only is this girl gorgeous, she's also incredibly smart. She's on a pre-med track in college majoring in biology, and also interning at a hospital. Diana and I have been wanting to shoot together for a while now and I'm so glad that our schedules aligned and we finally had the chance to do so! She told me about how she wanted an Audrey Hepburn styled shoot so we decided to do a vintage-fashion look in the studio. Despite it being pretty hot in Brooklyn (90 degrees) plus the studio lights, Diana powered through the shoot without breaking a sweat even while wearing that fur collar - what a trooper! 

Overall, it was a really fun shoot and I loved working with Diana. She and I spent a lot of time planning this shoot to make sure that it came out perfect, and I think that we both did a great job. Take a look for yourself!!
