Chelsea's 18th Birthday Photo Shoot In The Seaport District!

Photo shoot with my baby girl who turned 18 a couple of weeks ago turned out pretty great! I don't consider myself a professional photographer or an amateur photographer but oh how I love to capture important moments on film and this one was a milestone for my youngest daughter. All she wanted in part of the shoot was a black balloon! LOL! 

She turned 18 a couple of weeks ago and it's moments like this in which I want to lock in my brain forever. Even though it was windy and a bit nippy, taking pictures in the Seaport District was so much fun! I am proud of this little photo shoot and I think some of her pictures came out great! So yeah- I'll consider myself a photographer! This sure does save me money on taking my own photos as opposed to hiring a photographer. It was a fun day with many bloopers, laughs, and remarks from my girl such as "mom, take the picture already, it's cold!" Ha ha! Good times!!

Under The "Pumpkin' Bridge!

 

This pumpkin art installation is back at Pier 17 and it's absolutely gourd-eous!! It sits on the Heineken bridge and once again we ventured back to capture it's beauty with all the pumpkins on display! It's a square arch this year and it's just as pretty as when it was displayed in a round arch a couple years ago. It's even more pretty when it's lit up at night! So if you can make it come close to sunset you can capture it during the day as well as in the evening and it will look so magical! Happy October!!

Days Before Halloween We...

Days before Halloween we always drive into the city and spend all day sightseeing and locating all the halloween installations, and decorations that we see one of my favorite pages on Instagram. New York city decorates in all forms and it is so interesting to see how creative, and unique New Yorkers get when it comes to Halloween season! I captured a few photos of the kids checking out all kinds of decorations particularly this one pumpkin arch installation which is set up at Pier 17 in the seaport district.

The Taylor Swift Experience!

When Chelsea was three years old I remember writing this status on my Facebook, "dancing with my baby girl to Love Story."  I love that song, and every time it tuned in on the radio I'd turn up the volume. Even though we haven't been to any of her concerts yet, we are still a fan, and we absolutely love Taylor. Reading the history about how she came to Nashville to audition, and how she got signed on at such a young age is remarkable.
