Harlem Meer Family Portraits | Saafa's 1st Birthday

Birthdays are special, and first birthdays even more so. Saafa is the apple of her parent's eye and despite being a tired birthday girl, she was an awfully cute one!

Fort Tyron Park Engagement Photos | David & Eliora

Remember Chiara & Creighton's ah - mazing Hudson River shoot last fall? Well, Eliora, her sister, also a bride-to-be, came out to Fort Tyron Park for spring engagement photos. I mean, what a pair! Photo - friendly muses are hard to come by and David and Eliora carried on as if I wasn't even there. THANK YOU!

This couple has a unique story, which, they explained, had everything to do with their chosen outfits. Childhood friends who turned the corner together into full fledged romance, Eliora and David remember dancing at David's Bar Mitzvah in nearly the same outfits they chose for their engagement shoot. Love like this is a rarity and it was a treat to shoot these two. Taking the plunge in May 2013, the lovebirds have plenty of time to plan their nuptials and enjoy the ride. Congrats to Eliora & David! 

Uptown Bohemian Spring Launch!

I come from a long line of story telling merchants. My earliest memories of my Mother and Filipino Aunties, was of them bartering in LA's Chinatown and also at family parties in the bedroom. They would notoriously pull little gold gift boxes out from under their beds and the banter would ensue. It is no surprise that I inherited their sense of commerce and enthusiasm for accessories. Late last year, after nudges from my friends, I opened Uptown Bohemian on none other than ETSY. All photos courtesy of yours truly.
