Jess and Russell have actually mysteriously crossed paths with us in the past--it wasn't until we met that we all realized we had been at the same party several times before! What a small world. When they showed up for our engagement session at Battery Park, Russ told us a little secret--he had gone through our entire blog the night before and researched all our poses in advance! If all our couples did that, Angela would be out of a job (smile). We trekked through the cold while trying to dodge the nosy park rangers who always started getting suspicious whenever we pulled out our off-camera flash. (Does a flash and battery pack look intimidating?!) After the third time they approached us, we started to pull it out as discretely as possible (while subtly glancing left and right)--definitely ninja territory. Way to spice up a photoshoot!
