4th time is the charm... | chatham, nj family photographer

alt summit new york

Alt Summit NY was last week and what a day it was! It is a bloggers conference filled with a few hundred creative thinkers and artistic entrepreneurs who are able to meet up and share ideas and their stories. The day is filled with speakers, delicious food and lots + lots of fun swag and give-aways. I was especially excited to hear the amazing line-up of guest speakers ... Grace Bonney from Design Sponge, Tracey Stewart from Moomah, Pilar Guzman from MS Living and my favorite style icon Garance Dore. Of course there were many more speakers who inspired the crowd and made the event fabulous. The event took place at the Martha Stewart Headquarters which is always a lovely backdrop. Of course Martha also made a special appearance. Kudos to Gabrielle Blair from Design Mom and her sister Sara for putting on a spectacular event.

I didn't have it in me to carry my big camera around all weekend so I kept it in the hotel and instead just went throughout the day with my trusty iphone while Instagramming a few favorites. I'm so glad I did because I got some great "real" shots that I probably wouldn't have captured with my other camera.
