Well, Hello! | on the other side of the lens

I squealed with delight when Ben came through the door last night with a package, asking with a boyish grin, "So, who do you know in North Carolina?" It was our photos - they were finally here!

Mid December we arranged a photo date with friend and fellow photog Cali Lowdermilk, just before she left the cement jungle of New York City to return to her native NC. She traversed the icy waters of the East River to document the pair of us in our native Williamsburg, Brooklyn. We had so much fun showing her our favourite local spots (and reasons why this is one of the best places to live on earth): East River State Park, the Domino Sugar Factory, and my bubble tea source (of course!) - Saint Alp's Teahouse.

But most of all, we were just so thrilled to be on the other side of the lens!
Ok, I was thrilled. But Ben was a pretty good sport about it too :)

With her strictly "pretend like I'm not here" photographic approach, she truly caught us in the act of us being us - a treasure we will cherish for many many many years to come.

So a big bear-hug Thank You to Cali, once again, for capturing a day-in-the-life of Melissa and Ben!
