30 minutes

It’s officially summer and I have kicked it off by sailing in the Mediterranean.  Not bad, eh?  😉  For this month’s 30 minutes photo collection, I decided to show you what it looked like sailing into the harbor at Vernazza, one of the 5 towns that make up the famous “Cinque Terre” coastline.  I truly […]

Shortly after I moved to New York, I found myself living in an amazing loft apartment on the Lower East Side.  This was slightly before it became the “cool, hipster” place to be, and my parents were NOT happy with me living in this neighborhood.  But I loved it!  It felt like the real New York… […]

This month sure flew by!  Here in New York, we’ve had crazy weather — one day it’s jackets and scarves and the next, flip flops and t-shirts!  It’s finally starting to warm up, though, and the other night I went to visit one of my best friends who just moved back to my neighborhood — […]

Last month I showed you NYC from above; this month I decided to photograph the complete opposite and show you Aspen from above!  I fell in love with Colorado when I was 16 years old, visiting my older sister for the first time in Denver after she left Florida for college.  She drove me into the […]

I’m so lucky to have met so many wonderful friends through my photography connections.  Meagan Dwyer, a very talented photographer from just outside of the city, has become so dear to me.  She and her adorable children decided to come into the city for a visit again this month.  The last time they came, we […]

As soon as I heard on the news that New York was bracing for an enormous snowstorm, I knew that I had the perfect plot for my story. Manhattan on any given day is full of millions of stories — the hustle and bustle of the city gives me energy and sparks my curiosity around […]

Happy Holidays, Friends!!  This month our little group decided to just do a “Festive 5 Minutes” instead of our usual 30 minutes, as it’s a busy time of year and a lot of us were traveling. I spent Christmas with my family in Nashville, where it was 74 degrees on Christmas Eve!!  (Very very unusual!) […]

This month for my 30 minutes project, I cheated a little.  You see, my sweet and talented friend (and fellow 30 minutes member) Meagan Dwyer decided to take her kids into the city for a last minute trip last weekend and we decided to finally hang out!  We both brought our cameras, determined to do […]

Last weekend I was out with some friends and one of them, a fellow art aficionado, asked me what I thought of the new Whitney Museum downtown.  Embarrassed, I told her I hadn’t been yet!  I made a plan right then and there to visit the following weekend while my sister was in town.  The […]

September is the perfect month to sit in the park and people watch.  It’s no longer hot and not yet cold, the trees are still lush and green, and everyone loves strolling through the park enjoying their day. Last weekend I photographed a gorgeous and sweet family in Central Park during the morning, and after we were […]
