Christine & Jordan- Engagement: New York City

For me, New York City will always be a love affair. There is no other city like it in all the world. The pulse of the city is infectious and since many of my best friends still live there and I met my husband, Suj on the NYC subway, this city will always hold a special place in my heart.
I was thrilled that Christine & Jordan wanted to do their engagement shoot at Central Park and the Brooklyn Bridge as it gave me an excuse to come back for a beautiful weekend. Jordan proposed to Christine on the Brooklyn Bridge and it was so awesome to see the smiles come across their faces when they got to their special place on the bridge. They are such a classy couple and I am sure their wedding will be stunning.

Congratulations Christine & Jordan and I can't wait for July!

The Neruda Project

Pablo Neruda is one of my absolute favorite poets. I love the lyricsm of his words and his utter admiration for the world around him. I love the poems in which he talks about the loves in his life- his words are always gentle and full of grace and mystery. Recently, I came across a collection of his poetry entitled, "Full Woman, Fleshly Apple, Hot Moon" and could not put it down. I embarked on a portraiture project with 14 astonishingly beautiful women actresses to attempt to capture some of Neruda's elegance in the female form. I am so grateful to my collaborators- your beauty is absolutely radiant!

Full Woman, Fleshly Apple by Pablo Neruda

Full woman, fleshly apple, hot moon,
thick smell of seaweed, crushed mud and light...
Loving is a journey with water and with stars,
with smothered air and abrupt storms of flour:
loving is a clash of lighting-bolt
and two bodies defeated by a single drop of honey...
