Met Me At Our Spot

Ferry Ride to Hoboken

Being open to new experiences can lead to great opportunities. In this instance it meant letting go of the reigns of meticulous planning and taking a backseat. When Nicole and Michael asked me to do a portrait session in Hoboken I immediately planned a route that would produce the least amount of traffic and researched areas to photograph in. That’s just what I do! Then I started to think of alternative ways of traveling to Hoboken, since it is not that far from New York City. During my research I came across the New York Waterway Ferry. I discovered a way to travel, from the city to Hoboken, where I can let go of the reigns and just enjoy the view. This happy accident turned into the backdrop for my portrait session. When I mentioned the ferry to Nicole and Michael they were interested in trying something new. We walked around Hoboken to other locations I scooped out. Our last stop was the ferry. I know that Nicole and Michael’s biggest fear was that the photos would look like they were on the Titanic. I reassured them that there wouldn’t be any “I’m King of the World” shots. All in all the ferry ride gave us a beautiful backdrop and an opportunity to take in both Hoboken and New York City at the same time.
