Party Barn, May 2013 .

Every year Dad's side of the family has their Ranch Party at the "Party Barn".  Got to take Jackson and actually go myself this year with some of us!  Good time to catch up with some, meet some others for the first time at the reunion beforehand, sit and listen to the GREAT music they had, and enjoy the beautiful weather we had that day! (this was in May)

Last fall (2012), Lauryn and I had an opportunity to take a personal class on Street Photography. We had the BEST time, learned so much on the spot, and still talk about it to this day!  Was the best thing I've done (photography-learning-wise) thus far and I am so glad we had this opportunity and went for it!

We met up at Columbus Circle and had a little mini-lesson while we hung out/met each other.  Then we started walking and shooting  --  the next few hours definitely flew by.  Here are the shots from the first half of our session . . . the next set I will post has several of my favorites (ever, from our nyc trips) . . . they get more interesting the closer we got to Times Square (laugh).
