When your clients suggest picking you up in their boat for a private island tour of the bay, you jump at the chance to head back out to sea. A few Fridays ago, we met at Shining Waters Marina and took an evening sail to celebrate their impending nuptials.

I’ve said it before but there’s something special in the water here — it brings out the absolute best in me. Pair our deep blue oceans with sailboats, beautiful sunsets and people so in love it hurts; and it’s my idea of paradise.

Give me New York in any season; I am, at heart, a true city girl. The hustle and bustle, along with the multitude of gorgeous photographic opportunities and I’m blissfully happy.
