I was lucky enough to shoot photos at two related events this past weekend in downtown Albany.

The sweetest book – Survival Lessons by Alice Hoffman
This title arrived in a recent order and I immediately wanted to touch it, to pick it up and carry it. It charmed with its cover alone and I borrowed it for the recent holiday break.
