A snowy morning in NYC

Growing up in Bernhards Bay, NY...what, never heard of it? No way!!  It's here.

As I was saying, growing up in Bernhards Bay, there weren't too many people, but we were surrounded by two things--trees, and snow. Lots of both.

Since moving to Manhattan, I don't generally see quite so much of either.

This morning as he was heading out to work, my husband called me and said to get outside with a camera, because he had never seen the snow on the trees quite like it was, and I should get some pictures.  For Manhattan, is was, in fact, a rare and beautiful sight!

Paper Swan Photography has a new website!

Last year I decided to leave my full time role in the internet industry to become a professional photographer.  The name of my venture is Paper Swan Photography, and I specialize in wedding and event photography, with portraits coming later this year.

I've been on a full press these last couple of weeks to launch a new website for the company, and I am very excited about the results!  The new site features expanded portfolio galleries, wedding FAQs, a new blog, and comprehensive wedding package and pricing info.

I hope you'll take a look and enjoy!!  (And don't forget to follow Paper Swan on Twitter!)

amy365 Photo Project #1

I've rarely used the camera on my cell phone, but have admired some of the creative shots others have posted.  One of the things I would like to do with this project is play with alternative cameras. So why not start with a mobile pic?

New Year's Day with the in laws today! After much coaxing, I got my niece to pose for this first shot.
