Carousel and Some Syrup

Posted on April 15, 2014April 15, 2014 by Milli Stephania in Client Photography

It was time to meet up with Misha, my long lost lover of a best-friend who recently came back from the Dominican Repulic after another adventure. (Talk about a run on sentence) We haven’t really been spending much time together to be honest, and it was about time we actually made plans and stuck with them.

Since I had time to spare before our meeting time, I headed to a place I have been dying to visit, just never made the time to. Shame on me as a New Yorker, This is one of the most beautiful escapes I have bumped into in the city. I didn’t even get lost, like I usually tend to do.

Jane’s Carousel closes at 6pm, and I happened to make it just in time, 5:50pm to catch the last spin on this merry-go-round. It was so adorable and I found myself getting super excited like any kid would. And since lately I’ve been taking myself out on dates… I actually have the time to focus on what I like, and Jane’s Carousel was definitely a thumbs up.

Also, I don’t knwo if you guys, have noticed, but there’s a big New York Egg Hunt going on… I this little hunt has me running around learning new places of the city. I got lucky and found 5 more eggs at this point!

I also bumped into this pretty awesome food truck with a great cause.

New York-based Drive Change offers formerly incarcerated youth the opportunity to serve food with a side of social justice. With the competitive job market, finding employment as a former youth inmate can be very difficult, & a lack of income can lead back to a life of crime. Through this food truck program, young adults can start with a clean slate & get a chance at employment, life skills & a future.

I ordered 4 little skivers, that were like pancakes and had chicken in the inside. It was pretty good, and not to mention the employees were super sweet. I wish them all this all the best in their future comings.

Check out a few pics from my little solo adventure…. Now it’s time to meet up with Misha.

Later my loves.

Judy and Miguel’s Babyshower

Posted on March 23, 2014March 23, 2014 by Milli Stephania in Client Photography, Events, Milli Stephania

jmb One of my friend’s Judy is expecting a little girl, soon to be named Sophia.

I know how hard her and her mother have been planning her baby shower, and I figured why not put in my 2 cents. I took her maternity pictures, helped set up and took photographs of the event. You can’t say I don’t love you Jude. :)

When I first arrived, I felt a little weird, I only knew the mother to be, her mother and have met the soon to be dad about 3 times, tops. So I already felt out of place, not to mention the fact that it was my birthday, and today was probably one of the worst days ever. I tried to keep a happy face, but to be honest, all I wanted was to go home and crawl under my covers.

Judy looked absolutely beautiful. When her and Miguel (dad to be) arrived, everyone stood up and cheered for the soon to be parents. There was baby shower games of course, an awesome dj, and even amazing food. Let me tell you, the food was solo good. There was everything from lasagna, peril, rice, roasted chicken, chicken alfredo, ceviche and so much more I can’t remember right now, but I wish I eating.

The dj was on point, and I’m so glad he was playing some spanish music, anybody and everybody who knows me, knows that I love to dance spanish music. Once I’m up, the bachata, tipico takes over. After a few drinks, I loosened up a bit and managed to make some friends, and better yet ones that can dance, so that dance floor was all mine.

Judy’s family, the sweethearts that they are, surprised me with a birthday shout out, while everyone sang to me. I was blushing, grateful and was happy to finally get a smile out of my day. Thank you. Once I got home, because I really wasn’t that far, thank goodness, I went straight to sleep, that pillow was my everything.

Here are a few pics of our night, see the rest HERE.
