THANK YOU, Willimantic! What an incredible time making memories with you all at this year’s 2026 Thread City Hop Fest 🍻📸

Usually I’m running around the event with cameras in hand as the photographer, but this year we decided to level things up a notch with Viewfinder Photobooth — and WOW, you all showed us so much love all day long.

I hope everyone enjoys their custom handmade photo keepsakes (yes… we were literally making them on the spot all day 😅). Huge shoutout to Haley & Logan for all the help, creativity, and chaos coordination behind the scenes. You guys absolutely crushed it.

The photobooth gallery is officially LIVE ⬇️, and stay tuned because I’ll also be sharing more “day of” moments from me sneaking around the fest with my cameras 📷

A massive thank you to everyone who helps make this event run so impeccably every single year. Truly proud to be part of this community and this event. 🍻✨

Be candid. Stay classic.

The bond between people and their animals will always be one of my favorite things to photograph. 📸💛🖤
