Saturday in the Park

We took a trip to Rittenhouse Square a couple weeks ago to take pictures for StyleList. The theme for this was 4 Cities, 4 Looks, 4 Climates, and we did Philadelphia in the Spring! We spent the day capturing the new and upcoming fashions of the ladies of the city while enjoying the fresh Spring weather.

Jiu-Jitsu Fantastica

This was a great experience. I thought I was going in to shoot Delilah's Den girls fighting but they just turned out to be ring girls who looked pretty holding the round signs for these bad-ass professional Jiu-Jitsu fighters! These guys travel around the country kicking the snot out of each other, but don't be fooled by their bloodcurdling demeanor, these guys were sweethearts! This sport is so much different from regular boxing, whether involving roundhouse kicks or submission holds, it definitely had my adrenaline pumping. Basically, imagine wrestling your sibling, but instead of battling on your soft family carpet you are in a steel cage. Oh, and your sibling has more moves than Chuck Norris on steroids. Hiiyahh!
