Hello, my Amazing Town! How I miss you! As a professional photographer, I love that I can participate and give back with the  #TheFrontStepsProject. The purpose of this project is to bring us together when we might feel isolated. I aim to highlight the faces of our community during a time when we might not see them in passing at the grocery store, coffee shop, on the train or at the gym. Participating in this project is also an opportunity to step up to help those who need it

From Alexandra Ralph: Hi all! I started a list of upcoming birthdays with child’s name and date (moms and dads can be included too!) All “parades” will be at 3:30pm unless host family prefers a different time (please note that next to your child’s name). If there are multiple children on the same day, just try to visit one after the other if you can. Honk, roll down the windows, blast some music, and HAVE FUN! Sorry neighbors, this is for the kids! Have birthday child stand
