Merry Christmas from Union Square

Here are some of my favorite photos from my most recent Phoodieur article, a guide to the Union Square Holiday Market. I'm so lucky to live two blocks away from the market, and to have gotten to sample all these delicious treats thanks to Phoodieur! I'm excited to continue working with them next semester!

Treat House

I am having so much fun interning for Phoodieur! It has gotten me back into photographing regularly, and is allowing me to try wonderful tasty treats. These are my favorites from my latest post; I co-wrote this one. I can't wait to show you all what else I am working on; coming soon!

Halloweekend 2016

 Happy Halloween, from my girl gang to yours! I got to host my first ever Halloween party this weekend at my friend's beautiful apartment in the West Village. Shoutout to these ladies for some of the most creative costumes I've ever seen, not all of which I was able to capture on camera. In the spirit of my amazing major (and the personality midterm I have on Monday), I dressed up as a Freudian Slip!

New England Roots

Growing up outside of Boston, it was a tradition to go apple picking every fall when the leaves started to change. Moving to NYC was one of the best things that happened to me, but I do still find myself missing New England fall. I was lucky enough to escape the city for a day of apple picking in New Jersey, and while not technically New England, the changing leaves in the quiet suburbs felt a bit like home.

Summer Sundays

Although I didn't photograph as much as I wanted to this summer, I was able to whip out the old DSLR for one final brunch date in Chinatown. After dim sum, we made our way to SoWa Market to peruse the farmers market, art vendors and antique sales. Lastly, we swung by the Boston Public Gardens to soak up some sun. I highly recommend enjoying the last few days of summer the way we did!

A (not so) gloomy Saturday

On a rainy Sunday evening, Nina and I ventured into Brookline for some drool-worthy snacks at Tatte, and luckily the sky cleared up just in time for a mini photo shoot!
