Every time I have gone to NYC I have loved it and each time I have seen new sights and had different experiences. This trip was the first time I had truly seen Central Park and I almost feel like I know my way around it now. The reason for the trip was to photograph these guys and it also works as a great excuse to get my yearly trip in with Mary. This trip was also extra fun because I was able to bring my assistant Tara along . Plus it was her first time which makes it more exciting to see sights with someone who is seeing it all for the first time. She also makes everything entertaining so along with her great assistant skills we managed to have the best girls trip ever.
The highlights of the trip in no particular order........
The red eye flight over that we almost missed because someone couldn't part with their face wash
Someone being afraid to take a shower when Craig was home
Eating the Shake Shack twice
The perfect weather we had while we were there
Playing the piano at FAO Schwartz with Tara and Mary and 10 other kids while their parents looked on
The creepy Doll lady at FAO Schwartz
Having Pinkberry Twice
Going to Serendipity for a late night dessert that made us sick and running it all off chasing a bus home.
Seeing 9 to 5 which was surprisingly a REALLY fun show with a great cast.
Taking a really long run through central park after we had walked about ten miles the day before and had the blisters to prove it.
Walking around the meet packing district on our last night
Walking really really fast away from China town and vowing never to go back their until our next trip.
Tara getting separated from me as we crossed the street and then watching her frantically look for me and tear up when she found me.
Getting to photograph such a fun family with the best 11 month old ever. The 3 year old did great during this 3 hour shoot and Craig pretty much didn't want me to stop taking pics of him. I think he already wants me to come back for the poses we may have missed.
Getting to stay with Mary and stay up talking with her and looking through old pics. We've known each other since we can remember which makes it so fun to get together and have these trips without my kids and see life in NYC.
I'm pretty sure there are a lot more highlights that I will possibly add later but for now my brain is done.
I have 6 hours before I leave for Girls Camp and I should probably finish up packing .
I could have posted about 50 more pics on here from our shoot and I am not done editing most of the family ones.
I LOVED all the colors that they are wearing an the fact that they are in the greatest park made for an easy backdrop. Oh and they are kind of photogenic so that helps too.
About 3/4 through the shoot Parker decided to run through the muddy baseball field.
Being completely prepared with not a single wipe made for an interesting couple minutes.
