nyc.

im supposed to be writing a paper for my american literature class right now, but im more interested in letting you all know how my trip to NYC was.

as im sure most of you have assumed, it was amazing. this was my first trip to the city by myself, therefore, i had to pilot on my own. i successfully figured out how to use the subway, hail a cab and navigate central park by my lonesome. and to top that off, both of my photo shoots went wonderfully. the girls that i worked with were so great. we were done with our shoots early, so i
had a bunch of free time to hangout with my darling friend ali (the lovely and talented model/actress from my last blog post). she took me on a little tour of times square and midtown! :)

though it was chilly, i brought home a little bit of sunburn. looking at it reminds me that there is something greater for me out there than the current place that i am in. that is the only thing currently keeping me going through these finals.

thursday night, i am leaving for a weekend trip. i will be in DC on friday, boston on saturday, back to DC on sunday for the afternoon, and then heading back to pittsburgh.

oh, and i heard that it is going to snow tomorrow? this has to be a joke.

i will leave you with a little teaser shot of my mua and model. :)

i am heading to NYC this weekend for a few photo shoots, after doing another one in my living room on friday. haha! im doing a great job at utilizing this new house! while in NYC, i have the opportunity to work with a makeup artist, who is currently here from england! :) i am very excited! next week are my finals, then i will be heading to DC and boston for the weekend for more shoots and some me time. i know that everyone worries about me, but i actually really enjoy traveling alone.

i plan on taking april off from traveling, so i can stop neglecting the people that i want to work with in pittsburgh. but i hope to plan more shoots in NYC and other surrounding cities in may, while working on my thesis.

i think those are all of the big updates that i have for right now. i will let you all know how the NYC trip goes!

again, thanks for all of the support.
all my best, danielle
