My friend Andie met me there from Nebraska and we stayed with our friend Dani from high school. We met up with our friend Kelsey (you might remember the dance post I did of her), and my friends Ashley, Andrew and Levi came and hung out with us a bit too.

What an incredible trip. I was sick almost the entire time and was very slow moving for most the days, but maybe this helped me stop and really look at things. I love film so much and I was so excited to do some personal work again. Thanks to my friends for helping my sickly self along and being patient with me- I know it’s not the easiest traveling with a photographer (we tend to want to stop everywhere and take photos of everything ;) !!)

I shot only two rolls while I was there, I think I brought about 15! This just means I have to go back and shoot more. Getting my film back today made me realize once again why I should NEVER stop shooting it. Such a mood it creates and I really love some of these frames below-especially the one of my friends Andie and Dani running up the subway steps, the crazy flared brick wall, and the man walking pass the Columbus Circle subway— just to name a few. Enjoy NYC… man I kind of wished I lived here….

We were roomies in Santa Barbara for a little while and frequently went on sushi dates and cooked dinner at her grandma’s. Some of my favorite memories of SB are with Ashley (and her grandma) “Do you want some root beer?!”… oh grandma. Ashley made the big move to NYC earlier this year to be with her boyfriend, Dan. I knew he had to be pretty special for Ashley to move 3000 miles for him! I was so excited to meet him and even happier to take portraits of them while walking around Central Park.

I can’t stop thinking about New York and so I just had to post some photos from my trip! I also posted a session of my friend Kelsey from NYC last month! Thanks for a wonderful mini session Ashley and Dan :) . Now all I can think about is Root Beer.
