Family Day

I knew ahead of time that today (It's now June 28th) was going to be a fairly slow day for me here in the city. Since my mom got out of school for the summer last week I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to bring her into the city for the day because she doesn't get in that often and I thought she'd have fun running around with me. At 10am I had my shoot with New Balance in Copley. It was slightly intimidating because since they are such a corporate company, they had team members from corporate meet me there to help set up the shop as  I wished. I didn't have too many suggestions because I typically go in and shoot fairly as is as long as the client is comfortable with the set up. Everyone was really friendly and eager to help, and overall the shoot only took me about 15minutes. I then brought my mom into the office with me to meet a few people (though Samantha wasn’t in). Knowing my second shoot of the day wasn’t until 3pm near Fanuel Hall, my mom and I walked down the Greenway to the park that I love near the aquarium and grabbed lunch at Fanuel Hall/Quincy Market. We then found out my shoot was actually pushed back til 4pm so we had plenty of time to explore the city. It was a gorgeous day so it really was perfect to walk around with my mom. I’m glad she was able to come in because I’ve been wanting her to see what one of my days is like here and I’ve been wanting to show her so many of the places I’ve been talking about.

I got to my 4pm shoot and did a Bostonian as well as Bar Tab. One of the guys, Bob, from the office insisted on accompanying me which I found a little odd, cause I’m more than capable of getting these shots by myself and he was a little passive-aggressively judgmental the entire time asking me questions like “Don’t you think all photographers work eventually becomes the same?” Howl at the Moon, where I shot, was a really cool place. It’s a bar known for it’s Dueling Piano Bar with live music every night, so I definitely think it’s a place I’m going to try and revisit once I’m 21 J
