NEW YORK, NEW YORK!

Over Memorial Weekend I went to Nikki's to have an early birthday celebration for her! I arrived on Friday evening. We had dinner with Zach and Gene, and Saturday we went out to White Plains. We ate at The Melting Pot, and went out dancing and saw the band 29 Mariner. The band loved us! Here is our Charlie's Angels pose! In Order: Natalia, me, Beth, Nikki.



Sunday was a relax day! We went to a diner for breakfast/lunch, and I had the greatest chocolate chip waffle with whip cream!
Monday (Memorial Day) Nikki and I went in to the city. We ate at The Olive Tree in the Village, I got an AMAZING jasper stone ring, and Nikki got a moonstone ring. We walked around and did some shopping, and then we went in to Manhattan. We saw Time Square! Monday was the first day they shut down Time Square to cars/traffic, so people were sitting in the middle of the street in lawn chairs! We literally danced in the street! It was also fleet week, so we saw and took pictures with sailors!! :)


We has dinner at Juniors. It is a diner/restaurant/bakery that has been on Bobby Flay's Throw Down show! We ordered the cheesecake he was up against, and it was AMAZING!!! YUM!!

I had to go to the M&M store! I love them! They have a machine that tells you which m&m you are. I was hoping to be pink, but I was the light purple, and the quote was "Once people meet you, they understand what all the fuss is about." Nikki was the peanut butter m&m, and her quote was something like "a little bit smooth, but a little bit nutty!" haha!



Tuesday I came home, and Derek picked me up from the airport. He took me straight to work... and here I am!

It was a great weekend!!

While I was in New York, Derek and Mike worked on our bathroom. Derek gutted it, and he and Mike are now putting it back together. Needless to say, I will be happy when it is over, and I have a beautiful, new, tiled bathroom!

YAY!

About Me

My photo
Twin Cities, MINNESOTA
I am a graduate from the University of Minnesota. I have a B.A. in Communication Disorders, and I have taken classes in photography and visual arts. I have a wonderful husband, a house, and two cats. I am an office manager and photographer for a wedding photography company in the twin cities, and I am working to start my own photography business in child, baby, belly, family, and high school senior portraits. I love natural lighting and I like getting as many candids as possible. I also love setting up photo shoots with backdrops, props, and cute outfits! I enjoy "choreographing" shots, not posing! I feel my style is mostly photo journalistic with a little bit of traditional and artistic thrown in the mix. I started this sight to share my work as well as keep updated with my family and friends! We seem to get more and more spread out across the country, but I am hoping to keep everyone informed on what is happening in my life with this blog. I also hope to share a little bit about myself with the people I photograph. I feel like I am photographing important moments and people in their lives, so I want them to get a glimpse of who I am as well.
