Location: Lost Lake at The Dunlavy

Tomorrow evening is White Linen Night in The Heights so get out your summer whites and hit 19th Street for tons of fun! White Linen Night in The Heights started in 2006 at the suggestion of New Orleans natives Chris Thayer and his wife, Kay, who had opened a boutique on 19th Street when they were displaced by Hurricane Katrina. The event was patterned after a similar event in The French Quarter Arts district in New Orleans where residents came out dressed in their white linen finest to see local art. The Thayers and the Heights First Saturday group organized the event as a way to promote interest and traffic to 19th street so local businesses could thrive in the hot Houston summer. White Linen Night in the Heights is open to the general public with no admission fee and takes place tomorrow night from 6:00-10:00pm.

We did this shoot at Lost Lake next to the Dunlavy. It’s so beautiful here and close to where I live, so I love to walk here for lunch or brunch and sit by this beautiful pond.
