This is Karey. She’s awesome.
Karey and I met a couple of years ago at a photography conference. I had no idea that she would become one of my dearest friends. At first it was just nice to find a friend that I could talk about photography and business with and ask questions when I needed some advice. But it’s even more valuable to me to have a friend who will listen to me cry on the phone, will celebrate even the smallest of victories, and who will drive over in the pouring rain to give me a hug after the latest heartbreak.
We got together last weekend to just have some fun shooting. It was a blast and I’m excited about what I got!
When I shot these last few, we had almost zero light left. Karey kept saying, “I can’t believe you’re even getting anything.” Yay for my 1.4 lens!
I couldn’t help taking a photo of this wedding dress they had that was made out of paper. Nice.
Walking around, I came across this and thought it was cool.
We walked across to Brooklyn, something I’d never done in all my trips to New York.
It was pretty sunny all week, but there was a little surprise in store for me. On Tuesday, as I came out of Billy Elliot, it had started snowing a little. Not sticking though. The next morning, everything was covered in snow! But the snow was still pretty light and wet. I went into Bloomingdale’s and then 
I loved the floor!
But look what was happening while I was inside……
So I made Eddie go over to Central Park so I could get some photos. He was a trooper! And we got to experience something that even he, after living there for 11 years, had never experienced!
Me and my childhood friend Eddie.
Woo hoo! What a fun trip! And I was only delayed by a half a day. I got home in time to have dinner with my family on my birthday.
This reading stuff is serious business!
And so was she!
Third outfit: Friday night Palak & Simmy’s family and friends gathered for a night of traditional dancing called Garba & Sangeet. Lots of dancing!!!!
Fourth & Fifth outfits: I don’t have photos of these since I was a guest at the wedding. Oh wait…. I think I have a snapshot from the reception….. yep… here you go! Lots of dancing happening! Her wedding dress was really beautiful, but you’ll just have to trust me! 
Talk about a good looking couple, right?
I thought we’d have to do all of their photos in the hotel room since it was raining outside. But the rain stopped and these two were troopers to face the cold for a few minutes so I could get this.
Um…. thank you!
OK, back inside we go!
Palak and Simmy enjoyed a much deserved trip to the Carribean! After all of the planning and celebrating, they said they pretty much slept for the first few days. I don’t blame them! Thank you for inviting me into your lives. You and all of your family and friends were so great to me!
