On The Road To Madison, WI

Day one, completed. We hit the road at 5:30 this morning. My husband was surprised that even after having stayed up till 1:00 AM I would be up and ready to go.  We drove almost 1000 miles today.  When I exited the minivan, I took a deep breath and took in the clean, fresh air of Wisconsin.  I love that it’s quieter, the temperature cooler, and that the trip to our second home was joyful and stress free.

Needless to say, I’m exhausted. But before I go to bed, I wanted to share some photos and a video recap of our day. I hope you enjoy watching as much as we enjoyed living it!

A day in photography, and a glimpse of Small Town A day in photography, and a glimpse of Small Town America. 

From Dairy Day in Dryden, NY to Pride and Protest in Corning, NY. One thing is certain - we all just want to live our lives and be happy doing so. And while what that joy looks like is different for everyone, we all deserve the right and freedom to do so without fear or intimidation.

Today we are out on assignment doing photography w Today we are out on assignment doing photography work. Top of mind for us are all the protests that will be happening across the country against the illegal and violent attacks against Americans and Black and brown immigrants alike. May they be kept safe from harm and may their voices stay strong and loud. 

¡Viva mi gente! ✊🏾
