Victory for Tyler

I’m a little late on this post since the show has been up for a few days now and I missed the technical “opening” all together due to a wedding, however….

I am in a Tyler Alumni group show at the Crane Arts Center this month.  The show was curated by Robert Storr, who is a pretty big deal.  Dean at Yale, curator at MoMa, etc etc.  I’m really excited to have been included. AND there is a cute little catalog of the show.

We will be at the Crane for the Second Thursday events this coming Thursday (the 14th 6-9pm).  So if you are in the neighborhood, you should stop by!  Or you can check out any of the other events listed below.

Glitter & Rye

I recently spent a day in New York with my friend Molly from Glitter & Rye.  Carina and I photographed Molly’s wedding this past year and since then she has been working on her own event and prop styling business.  Here are some photos she styled for me.

In the Paper

John and I, plus our friends Emily and Charlie, were interviewed for a story in the Inquirer about eating locally in the wintertime.  We made dinner that included Jamie Oliver’s Chicken in Milk, some homemade cornmeal biscuits, a whole bunch of delicious cheeses from the Farmstand, a fresh salad, blue mashed potatoes, and Dorie Greenspan’s french apple cake. The food was great and the interview turned out pretty well too.  We were able to include a few shout outs to our friends at Almanac Market, the Fair Food Farmstand, Flying Fish brewery, and Greensgrow.  They even published a few of my photos for the article!

cupcake practice

 

My good friend Natalie is getting married this summer and instead of photographing the wedding, I am going to make her cupcakes!

So, I’ve been baking cupcakes for most events that require snacks to practice and try out recipes.  We had a big clothing swap at the studio the other day and I made these.

I love Martha Stewart cupcakes recipes, they always turn out perfect.

Here’s the recipes for Martha’s Red Velvet Cupcakes and One Bowl Chocolate cupcakes

New Website! Live!

After a lot of thinking about it and compiling of photos, I’ve finally launched my food photo site!

Assateague

We went camping when it was 45 degrees with 9 people and 3 dogs on an island and had fun!

Prince Edward Island

Now that wedding season is coming to a close, I had a chance to realize I never posted vacation photos from August.  I’ve got a little backlog of posts that will be cropping up in the next week or so, so enjoy the influx of activity!

John and I went on a little Canadian jaunt up through New Brunswick to Prince Edward Island and it was amazing.  I never take as many photos as I should, but here are some fun ones:

Delaware River Days

Summer has been crazy busy with weddings, but we’ve had the last couple of weekends off.

Last weekend John and I and our friends Whitney, Andrew, Emily and Charlie took some canoes down a scenic section of the Delaware river.  We canoed two days and camped one night.  I obviously didn’t bring the good camera, but we got some fun photos of us with some plastic cameras.  More photos here

So much fun!
