A SUNFLOWER PICNIC IN CENTRAL PARK
OK! I straight up love these two! I feel so blessed to have met them and to be a part of this anniversary picnic in Central Park. It was nothing short of perfect. Could you even tell it was 90 degrees? We were all sweating... TMI?
Meeting these two was a whirlwind. I first spotted them in November 2014 when Monte was photographing Kayla for her blog on Bedford. His beard at the time was MASSIVE, so he was hard to miss. I mean they're honestly hard to miss with their killer style. The friend I was with mentioned wanting to work with them, so I told him to go up and talk to them (because even I was too nervous to strike up a conversation). He shook his head no and we kept walking, assuming we'd never see them again...
Flash forward a couple of days and I was at Nu New York helping with a small piece for their social media. Can you guess who the model was? Kayla and Monte showed up and of course I went straight to telling them how I had spotted them and wanted to chat with them, so this was beyond awesome to get to meet and work with them! They were both so kind and kept saying I should have come up! (TIP: Always always always!! just do it. Don't be afraid. You'll regret it if you don't and things like this may not happen every time) The funniest part of the entire day was Monte and I were wearing the exact same outfit!
Unfortunately, I met them on the last leg of my first solo trip in New York, so I couldn't plan an actual shoot out. BUT we met up 8 months later for a couple of shoots! I shot with Kayla on her own (view here) and the two of them together in celebration of their anniversary. Enjoy these cuties!!
