This year, Autism Speaks to Young Professionals (AS2YP) had their annual winter gala at the ultra hip Avenue, one of New York City’s hottest lounges. The reception featured an evening of cocktails, musical entertainment by DJ Caleb Loftus, and delicious mini cup cakes by Bakarí for 300 guests, while helping educate and raise awareness of the disorder that now affects one in every 110 American children. In attendance this year was the newly crowned Miss New York 2012, Johanna Sambucini. She was great and fun to work with. We’ll definitely see more of her soon. Again, I always have a great time photographing the events for Autism Speaks and can’t wait until their next bash! Below are some of my favorite images of the evening. Enjoy!
