Central Park E-Session| Aly & Alex

The thing I love about a Central Park e-session is its simplicity. All you need to do is determine where you're going to meet then just go for a walk and hang out! There's so much variety in the park. You have Bethesda Fountain, the Boathouse, Belvedere Castle, Umpire Rock and so many other beautiful locations. It's easy to take this gem for granted and I'm reminded of it every time I'm there. I was excited when I saw the weather forecast for Aly & Alex's session was going to be perfect and Mother Nature did not disappoint!

So, Aly, Alex and I met outside their apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and went for a walk on a gorgeous evening in my favorite neighborhood in NYC. What a great way to spend part of my work day!

Here are some favorites from their Central Park e-session beautifully captured by Ralph Deal Photography.

There's always been a part of me that's wanted to live in Manhattan. Maybe not for life but certainly for a period of time. Being able to step out of Aly and Alex's apartment building and be in Central Park in a matter of minutes is a really beautiful thing:)
