Fourth of July Festivities - Brooklyn, NY

Yesterday I invited some friends to picnic at our local waterfront in Williamsburg, otherwise known as Hipster Beach. We had some BBQ, thanks to Brian and Nick, some refreshing beverages, watermelon, and even some PB&J-- complements of yours truly ;) Later on we migrated to a rooftop party to watch the fireworks and BBQ some more! I had such a great time. I'm pretty lucky to have such outgoing, fun, and not-to-mention photogenic people to spend the 4th of July with! Good times!

Williamsburg- Small Town Big City

Things are moving so fast! It feels like July is over and it hasn't even begun! In the coming weeks I've got some new fabulous couples to hang out with and shoot, and I even get to go shoot my darling friend Meghan-K get married on the beach in Carmel, Caifornia! That means I'll have plenty of work to post in the coming weeks.  For now-- images of Summer in the city! 

This past Saturday I had a few hours to enjoy the sun with a Kelly & Meghan. We met up at the Waterfront Park around 2pm and soaked up the sun until the sweat beads began to form rivers down our backs & brows. Then, for me, it was back home to continue work on several albums I've been designing for myself as well as for Photo Pink. (I'll be posting pics as soon as the new albums arrive. I even got new swatches to show off too--- Yay!) 

Anyhow, just a few Summer shots around our amazing neighborhood of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Hopefully Meghan doesn't hate me for putting up this adorable pic I took of her.  She just looks so chic in those shades!

The Arsenal They Called Home

In the previous post I talked about my trip to Ohio with my mother to visit the place she called home from ages 10-13. Above are images from the house she spent those years in, two other images, (the sand bag and Army men) are from what used to be an administration building on the arsenal.

The house is located on what is now, a National Guard training facility outside the town of Ravenna Ohio. We got in touch with Ltc. Meade who was kind enough to take us on a personal guided tour of what used to be an active military arsenal. All of the homes that make up my mom's former neighborhood, are now used for urban warfare training, which is partly what made photographing this portion of the 'revisit' so interesting. This was one of my first experiences ever being on military land.

The portrait is of Mrs Rogers, who lived across the street from my mom during the years she lived there.

Revisiting the Past

This last Memorial Day weekend, appropriately so, I took a trip with my mom to Ohio. My mom grew up an Army brat, moving from state to state every few years, and even over seas. She never really had that one place to call home, but between the years of ten and thirteen, some of the most pivotal years of a young girl's life, she lived in a town called Ravenna. Located in north east Ohio, my mom spent her days at a catholic school in town and her nights and weekends on the military Arsenal outside of town where her family lived. This weekend we returned to see what still stands of her old house (pics to come later this week) and school where she spent so many hours staring out the windows and learning algebra. These few images were taken outside of Immaculate Conception, where from 1963-1967 my mother was taught my nuns (the kind you don't see anymore) and became a wished for three o'clock. The school is now closed.
