For this month’s 30 minutes in the Life project, I tried something a bit different.  I decided to snap on my macro lens (usually reserved for ring shots at weddings and baby’s eyelashes/fingernails at newborn sessions) and photograph details of beautiful plants and flowers.  I felt a bit out of place being creative with this […]

I love living in New York City; the mix of buildings, parks, and people suits me! For this month’s 30 minutes project, I walked the length of the High Line, which is “a public park built on a historic freight rail line elevated above the streets on Manhattan’s West Side. It runs from Gansevoort Street […]

This month, my sister and I flew up to Traverse City, Michigan to visit our parents at their summer house on Lake Michigan.  We had an amazing week relaxing along the beautiful shores, sampling wines at the little boutique wineries (my favorite is L. Mawby — awesome sparkling wine!), and spending some quality family time […]

This month I took a time out from the hot summer streets of NYC to visit the Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk, Connecticut.  The aquarium really impressed me, and I just loved wandering around looking at all the incredible aquatic life.  There’s something about being able to see fish, sharks, and sea turtles up close that […]

This month, the weather here in NYC has finally calmed down and we’ve had many beautiful afternoons filled with sunshine.  I live next to Central Park, so I go there often with a picnic lunch or Starbucks and a book to relax, people watch, and get my toes in the grass.  Come take a little […]

Whoops.  I totally didn’t plan anything for my “30 minutes” series this month.  So I threw my camera in my bag this afternoon as I was running out the door to meet a friend for lunch and drinks in the west village, thinking “I’m sure I’ll find something interesting to photograph for a half an […]

For this month’s “30 minutes” project, I went to Butterfly World in Coconut Creek, Florida.  I only had a half an hour to pop in real quick, so it worked out perfectly.  After stepping through several doors, I found myself surrounded by thousands of different colored butterflies!  It was so much more than I expected, […]

This month I did something a little different for my “30 minutes” blog.  I photographed a bbq celebrating my cousin’s 21st birthday!  It was so nice to be outside in the warm weather having fun with some of my family 🙂  Hope you enjoy! Psst!  Now that you’ve finished singing “Happy Birthday” to my cousin […]

This month I decided to visit the Morikami Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach, Florida for my 30 minutes Project.  This very peaceful garden has an abundance of beautiful flowers and trees, as well as many unique Japanese design aspects such as stone gardens, koi ponds, and a traditional Japanese house.  I even ran into some […]

For this month’s “30 minutes” project, I decided to take you through NYC’s Central Park.  To be honest, I had to run an errand that was on the Upper West Side (across the park from me on the Upper East Side), and when I realized it would take roughly 30 minutes to walk there, I […]
