Flashback Friday: Photo Date on the LES

I am back for another edition of Flashback Friday! One of my favorite things to do with friends is meet up for camera dates in the city. My friend Jen and I love picking neighborhoods throughout Manhattan to explore and photograph together. We challenge ourselves to set our cameras to manual mode and take our time capturing the perfect shots as we chat and wander. During this camera date last August we spent a couple hours in the Lower East Side. We stopped along the way for pudding at my favorite bakery, Sugar Sweet Sunshine, and kept our eyes peeled for interesting street art as we walked. I am hoping that camera dates are a good activity with baby this coming summer and fall!

Brunch on the Lower East Side

What began as an internet friendship quickly turned into a real-life friendship when I met Amy and her husband last September in the West Village for a day of sight seeing. I was so excited to hear from her again a few months ago to schedule another meet up! Amy and Chuck were in town to photograph a friend's surprise proposal in Central Park and met me in the Lower East Side for brunch the morning they flew in. We had a delicious meal at Freeman's, followed by pudding from Sugar Sweet Sunshine and ice cream from Ice and Vice. We had a great time wandering around and catching up! Amy and Chuck, thanks for another awesome day together. Looking forward to your next visit to the Big Apple!
