We timed our pop-up portrait shoot at Henry Hudson Waterfront Park in Hudson to coincide with the city’s Waterfront Wednesday event on August 7. Hundreds of Hudsonians congregrated on the lawn, taking in the music, dancing, and the languid evening air. Thanks to Elena Mosley of Operation Unite for getting us a spot.

Four generations of Hudsonians: Shaquila Walthe with Denver, Dakota White, Gloria Stewart, and Debbie Walthe.
