Queue up the Gershwin. Put some shmear on that bagel. Scroll through some photos of the city I've come to call home.
New York, NY, USA. June 2016. New York City’s Pride Parade was an especially meaningful one in 2016. It was just 14 days after the Orlando nightclub attack and people came together like never before. There was love, sadness, inspiration, and you guessed it—pride. To see people embracing who they are and expressing themselves so unapologetically is one of the main reasons I love this city so much.
New York, NY, USA. June 2017. Rather than a lot of staged photos, Lucilla and Nancy wanted candid and natural looking memories of their engagement party with their closest friends and family. Set in their favorite bar on the Upper West Side, L & N’s love for each other and their passion for finding the amusement in life is a bit contagious in this collection.
Randall's Island, NY, USA. August 2016. Coming from a family of 3 type 1 diabetics and becoming one myself at the age of 15, this is a cause that is very near and dear to me. But instead of riding in 2016's Tour de Cure, I volunteered with the American Diabetes Association on Randall’s Island and did some photos for them. Take a look at these heartwarming smiles and see if you don’t get inspired by these badass diabetics.
New York, NY, USA. May 2016. Eirini and Harris were Greek transplants who wanted to tie the knot before leaving the Big Apple for Barcelona. Despite the chaotic scene that was City Hall in Lower Manhattan on a holiday weekend, we were able to both capture a few intimate moments with a group of their closest friends and have some fun creating some iconic New York shots.
