Summer is HERE! Memorial Day Weekend {Maplewood, NJ, South Orange, NJ, NJ Photographer}

Summer is HERE in Maplewood + South Orange, NJ! Memorial Day Weekend marks the unofficial start of summer - personally one of my favorite times of the year. This year we were lucky to have one of the best MDW yet - beautiful blue skies! Bright sunshine! It wasn’t too cool or rainy - which is kind of unusual these days. We had the opening of the Maplewood Pool, the South Orange pool, and the infamous Duck Race. The duck race raises money for the YMCA in Maplewood, NJ - hundreds of families came out to cheer on rubber ducks that travel through our picturesque Memorial Park stream. It’s an iconic and timeless gathering that puts a smile on everyone’s face. Here’s to an amazing summer -more sunshine, more community, more FUN.

When it comes down to it, it’s not about the merchandise. It’s about the collaborations and the community. ⚡️ There are over 75 local artists, makers, and small businesses represented in between these four walls and it’s truly a beautiful thing. 💕 This is the “Pop Up Kids Shop” brought to you by @somageneralstore - (not just kids stuff - homewares, artwork, beauty, and more). 🎉🍭🍉🌈🌻 It’s located at 1875 Springfield Ave in #Maplewood (@springfieldave) and it’s wall-to-wall goodness. 🙌🏽 Not only a shop but an interactive space with nonstop activities throughout the next few weeks until it closes up on May 19th. You have three more weeks to take it all in. ⚡️ Some of my spring photos are for sale and I’ll be doing a fun photo booth on Sat May 4th! More to come!  #livelovemaplewood#somageneralstore

OMG SPRING! {Maplewood, NJ, South Orange, NJ, NJ Photographer}

The colors and blooms have been crazy gorgeous this season!! I feel like this is the most colorful/long-lasting spring in years! The cherry blossoms are the most fluffy pink, the dogwoods delicate and soft, the tulips bright and bold.

Maplewood and South Orange, NJ are bursting with color and spring…
