I’m a total sucker for any and all New Year’s Eve rituals, parties, and celebrations, so when I was invited to shoot this one I was stoked. What made this party extra special was that it was also doubling as a surprise birthday party for the host’s boyfriend. Amazing decor, dj, snacks, champagne, and friends & family were enjoyed all night in this charming Bushwick apartment.

Here are some of my favorite images from this session (click to see un-cropped):
