Photo Journal: Sundays Are For Softball

Phase 2 during quarantine, means we’re trying to soak up as much sun as possible. Everyone has been stuck inside, and we needed to stretch our legs a bit.
A friend Leny, always goes out of her way to plan a good time for all of us. This time, a nice relaxing game of softball was what we need to get the good times rolling.
The sun was not shy today, and neither was my camera. I missed photographing natural movements, those candid shots that tell a story.
I clipped my camera to my backpack, grabbed my bicycle and got to riding.
See you guys next Sunday!

Photography: Hello Graduates!

Happy June!
This month is full celebrations. One of my favorites things is capturing milestones for others and what better memory to make than a loved ones graduation.  Since Covid-19 has decided to stop all gatherings, my heart goes to our dear 2020 graduates who won’t be having a ceremony this year.

All that hard work does not go unnoticed. I wanted to do my part and document this success for these two beautiful ladies.

Katelyn and Havina have both graduated with honors, what better way of making a parent proud.

We all met at a local park, and the girls were ready with their gowns flowing in the wind. They were stunning. My camera came out to play.

I was eager to get back into the groove of things, especially since quarantine had me hiding under a shell. I dusted off my trusty lens and got to work. Guiding these best friends was an easy task, but I have to admit, catching them laughing off-guard made me really happy.  Nothing brings me more than joy than capturing a real moment of emotion.

Sending lots of love and Congratulations to all of my graduates this year.
May all of your future endeavors  be in your favor.

Travel : Washington D.C. 2019

Sometimes it’s time to escape the hustle and bustle of NYC, and find some bustle somewhere else.
    Weekend getaways tend to be my favorite. I can pack a small backpack with me, have a new adventure and go back to work on Monday like nothing ever happened.

A friend recently told me about Bolt bus (and yes, I may be late to the party.. even though I took one about 5 years ago to get to Boston, and completely forgot they existed) and it was time to hit the road.
I visited Washington D.C. a long time ago as a kid. I must have been around 10 years old. I still remember the bright baggy mustard pants, and the turquoise and purple windbreaker jacket I was wearing(It was the late 90’s okaaaay) Think, little Dominican girl dressed like The Fresh Prince, hahaha. My dad’s car ended up leaving us on the side of the road, and our choice was to rent something, anything to get there the rest of the way.    The closest rental car spot only had a limo left…it was the best entrance I’ve made to the white house. How can you possibly beat that?
Adulting is a little different, I hopped off the bus and roamed the streets, taking  in everything so I can remember it this time.
Getting caught in the rain, and not really caring about my hair or clothes was just an extra touch of freedom.
One of my favorite things about has got to be the endless amounts of free museums. If you find yourself visiting, I promise you,your biggest expense is going to be getting there and figuring out where you’re sleeping. And that wasn’t even too costly. I didn’t really do any bar hopping, but museum hopping was all the rage this weekend. Check  out The Smithsonians if you plan on visiting.
