Surprisingly i didn’t take many photos while in NY. I’ll create a post within the next few days of some of the photos I did take, but in the meantime wanted to share these photos from the inside of the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine.

Anniversary Breakfast [Food Photography]
Okay, so I know I’ve been posting a lot of photos of food lately, but i really can’t help it. My husband has been on a serious gourmet cooking spree. As some of you know this past Sunday was our 1st anniversary. My husband clearly knows how much i love brunch since I woke up to this: hash browns with asiago cheese and roasted red peppers, eggs with aged provolone, basil, onions, chorizo, and sun dried tomatoes.
I know, you’re probably jealous. You should be.
My Husband Can Cook [Food Photography]
My husband made this dinner for me the other night. He convinces me every day that he’s the gourmet cook in the family. Potatoes with goat cheese and sun dried tomatoes. Chicken with shallots, fig balsamic, garlic and parmesan. YUM!
Wedding Invitation [Graphic Design]
With our one year anniversary quickly approaching, I thought I’d share a couple snapshots of our wedding invitations that I designed. Our engagement photos were taken by Ladson Webb. He did such a fantastic job.
Dinner Party [Food Photography]
This past Sunday we had a dinner party at our condo. My husband, the creative genius he is, put this meal together. Ciabatta bread, prosciutto, chorizo, black olives, roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomato tapenade, three different types of olive oil: basil, rosemary, tomato/parmesan/garlic, two balsamic vinegars: regular and fig and three types of cheeses: goat cheese, aged provolone, and parrano. I’ve got to say, there were so many different flavors going on. The meal reminded me of Estadio in DC. Best meal I’ve had in a while.
Sun-dried tomato tapenade recipe:
2 cups boiling water
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil)
1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted
several shakes crushed red pepper
2 Tablespoons dried basil
1 clove garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Pour boiling water over tomatoes and cover for about 15 minutes, until soft. Drain, reserving 3/4 cup of the tomato water. Combine tomatoes, water, kalamata olives, crushed red pepper, basil, lemon juice, and garlic in food processor until coarsely chopped. Stir in oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if necessary. Sprinkle with toasted pinenuts and green olives. Spread on crostini.

Arlington Cemetery [Event Photography]
I had the honor of taking photos today at a full military honors funeral at Arlington Cemetery. I have been to Arlington Cemetery several times over the years, but this was a complete humbling experience. As we celebrated a life, I looked around to see all the other men and women who have given their lives for our freedom. Some graves dating back to 1867. I began to wonder what stories were to be told. The sacrifices. The journey. The honor. The legacy.
It was an incredible moment and made me completely thankful for all the men and women who continue to serve this great Nation.
