This engagement shoot was the first time I met Ryan (on my third day in the city, I believe).  I won’t lie – I was nervous.  But it came naturally, as it usually does, and by the end of the shoot I was in my element, despite being surrounded by the concrete jungle that is so not my element (at least it wasn’t at the time).  I remember getting back on the subway after this to head home and just thinking about how ready I was.  Ready to take more pictures.  Ready to learn.  Ready for NYC.
