Our Visit To The 911 Memorial in New York City

May 26, 2017

a couple of winters ago, we went on our babymoon to new york city. when thinking of a place we should head to before having a little one, we thought new york city was a great option because it is someplace we might not venture to with young children, for awhile. we decided to visit during the week of christmas, heading home right before the holidays. i am convinced it is one of the best times to visit new york city, as everyone was gone for the holidays and the city was decorated so beautifully for christmas. of the many things we wanted to do during our visit, we really wanted to visit the 911 memorial in new york city. and if you decide to visit the city, the 911 memorial is definitely a place you want to stop and see.

Our Visit To The 911 Memorial in New York City

being that this trip was almost a year and a half ago, i had to think about what photography gear i took with us. being around 20 weeks pregnant, i was intentional about keeping my gear light and not bringing much with us. in fact, for most of the trip my camera stayed in my husband’s backpack and i photographed most of new york with my lensbaby mobile kit. because carrying a camera and a pregnant belly was just too much. i did pull out my camera during this visit though and used my portrait lens.

our visit to the 911 memorial in new york city will always be one of my favorite places we’ve visited. the memorial is so beautifully done and it’s simplicity is strikingly beautiful. my only regret is that i didn’t have my wide angle lens with me (i didn’t yet own it at the time of this trip), as it would have taken even better images.
