Read MoreEngagement Photography Session in Snowy Winter Central Park
As New Yorkers we sometimes get caught up in all the reasons to hate winter; the sidewalks are narrow and slushy, intersections become frozen dirty swamps of unknown depth, and braving the icy steps to the subway feels like the ultimate test of bravery and balance.
That said, there’s nothing more magical than the feel of that first snowfall in the city - before the white turns to gray and when the idea of building a snowman is still a bucolic possibility in our minds.
There's also nothing more magical than taking advantage of that early snowfall for an engagement shoot in Central Park.

Spring weather and the recent Earth Day seem like good reasons to make a renewed effort, so here are a few ideas that can make a big difference in how much waste you'll produce. Maybe if we put this out there people will hold us accountable... :)
