Set up in full speed at Philadelphia Flower Show

I guess the best time to have your first time at the Philadelphia Flower Show is during the setup when only the people setting up are there. I can't believe I've lived in the suburbs my whole life and never been to the show! The theme this year is Holland, and I still can't describe how incredibly beautiful and creative the displays are. I don't think I'll be making it to the actual show, but I'm ok with that! I actually got the chance to see everything in progress before all the crowds arrived. The process is really cool. It was enjoyable to see.

Enjoy the photos!

Jourdan & Sam at Longwood Gardens

When one of my best friends got engaged this summer, I was over the moon and offered an engagement session to her and her fiance Sam as an engagement present. She suggested Longwood Gardens and wanted a Valentine's Day Save the Date, so we went to shoot during their Orchid Extravaganza in January.

Although we went only an hour after the gardens opened, there were already a lot of people on the grounds. Luckily, mostly everyone was very courteous and accommodating to us. Many people asked them when their wedding was and congratulated them on their engagement.

I'm so lucky to have these wonderful humans in my life, and they proved to be wonderful models. Longwood was an incredibly beautiful backdrop that made the photos so special, as Sam himself is from Kennett Square, and Jourdan works for a garden PR company in Kennett Square. We could not have picked a more magical place.

I'm so excited to be a part of this couple's special day this September as a bridesmaid.

Snowed in...Brooklyn style

There is something just magical about being in the city when it snows. Any city really. It kind of feels as though time stands still. The white flakes start falling and all of a sudden, the hustle and bustle, dirt and noise all disappear into the snowy abyss and you feel like you're exploring the city for the first time (even though in this case, I was!).

I visited my good friends Ryan & Todd last month for Todd's birthday, unknowing that it was supposed to snow so much. But it made my trip that much more memorable, so of course I had to document with my Lumix GX-85. Love that camera for little trips and daily adventures. Check out more photos below.
