Alison got in touch with me from North Carolina. She and her mom, Anna were planning a trip together to NYC to have some quality mother-daughter bonding time, AND to celebrate both of their December birthdays. Alison hit the big 3-0 too! All the more reason to do something extra special. She wanted more lifestyle and street photography to capture their time together, their window shopping, and the festive atmosphere. We met on a Saturday morning on Fifth Ave in Midtown. The street was already bustling with tourists and holiday shoppers despite the cold and blustery day! Alison and Anna were such troopers though as we strolled around, made a pit stop at Rockefeller Center, grabbed coffee at Starbucks, and finally made our down to the New York Public Library. I thought Alison's idea for her and her mom was so sweet, and am happy to share some of my favorite photos from that day...
