in iowa

hey all
so im iowa/illnois (both actually- going between both states) for my great aunt's funeral. took some photos, its an interesting place. we are in burlington, which is along the mississippi river. i grew up along the mississippi river in the south, it's interesting to see the mighty river so far north.
anywho
my mama bought a house in new orleans and i get to help her decorate it- using antiques.
these are some photos i took that i'm looking at for inspiration.

back and forth and back and forth- NEW ORLEANS//NEW YORK

i literally most be one of the most inconsistent bloggers ever. but with good reason (well, i hope!) i have been bouncing between new york and new orleans and new york and then new orleans again. i am currently in new orleans. i got hired to photograph a promotional calendar for a printing company in new orleans and i am getting paid for it!
exciting
anywho
here are some photos i took exploring bensonhurst brooklyn. and i had a cocktail soiree. some are blurry (lo siento!)
