AMERICAN PETAL

Welcome, 2017 we've been anxiously waiting for you to arrive! With the New Year here many of us have set grand resolutions. Many of us want that slick, toned summer body and have signed up at gyms. Other are determined to try new diets to hopefully get that summer bod and others are wanting to conquer their fears and take on the world. Don't those goals sounds amazing?! Well, of course, YES! But personally I think it would be hard to achieve some of those goals. These New Yea

This holiday season has been so hectic with gift buying, wrapping, and attending holiday gatherings that I decided we needed some time to relax and enjoy the Christmas cheer. I've wanted to go to Dyker Heights for a while now because I mean, streets filled with endless Christmas lights and decor is pure magic! So, Tim and I decided last minute to make the trip up to Brooklyn and ended up bringing family from PA! It was such a sweet surprise seeing everyone together enjoying t

Alrighty then, so a couple of months ago I booked a family photo session with the most amazingly, talented human known as Lizzy Williams. I came across her work on Instagram and immediately checked to see if she was headed to the East Coast any time soon, and she was! Talk about the excitement on my end. After much anticipation fast forward to a Saturday in May with Central Park as our location, and BOOM! (magic was made) Liz was an absolute gem. We meet bright and early and
