Hello there! I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day Weekend! Though most people consider Labor Day the end of summer, I consider it to still be summer until it gets cool outside. So in my book, there’s at least another month of summer fun left! This past weekend was the last weekend of a small break from shooting we’ve had since the beginning of last month. I’ve had one of these little summer breaks for the past few years and I’ve come to treasure them! Fall is our busiest time of year, so it’s nice to relax and recuperate a little bit before shit gets cray.

Before I tell you about our weekend getaway, I have to preface this whole thing by saying, I am definitely not a super spontaneous person. I love to plan things out in advance and kind of have an idea in my head of what’s going to happen next. That’s just how I am. I’m just a planner, I guess! Anyway, about a week ago we decided to fly to New Orleans for two days over Labor Day weekend, which was crazy adventurous for me! I love to travel, but it’s not too often we get to do something super spur of the moment like that. It was great to be able to do something like that, and I know I’ll treasure the memories we made for a long time.

If you’ve never been to New Orleans, it’s crazy fun. Emphasis on the crazy. If you love to people watch, New Orleans is going to be your favorite place ever. I love food, sight-seeing, architecture, history, and a good cocktail or two, so it was right up my alley! I can’t wait to go back again sometime…I’m already craving po boys and beignets something crazy.

I shot exclusively with my film camera on our trip, but John took a few photos with our 5D Mark III! Here are a few of his photos til I get film scans back.

That’s it for me this morning! Hope you have an awesome four day work week!
