What happens when you put together a PhD spouse who is a photographer with a PhD student who needs photos – you get laughter and fun! Katie is working on her PhD at Princeton Seminary and is frequently asked to speak at youth conferences and the like and needed some professional photos for brochures, web, etc. Here is a small sampling of this free-spirited, beautiful lady!
If you or someone you know needs headshots, I do offer them. Email me for booking and details.
Anthony and I went in to NYC once again on Wednesday to do some birthday celebrating. We went practically as far as you can go on Manhattan to The Cloisters which is a magnificent place to visit. Anthony is currently in study mode while preparing for 3 comprehensive exams in September – he’s been reading about the medieval period and religion. We saw many pieces of art that directly relate to what he is reading. He even got his iphone out many times to grab photos throughout the day which is not like him at all! He leaves all the photo taking to me.
For all the photogs out there, why yes that is Anthony sporting the shootsac for me! Looks great on him if I do say so myself!
We went to Morningside Heights to walk around Columbia University, Union Theological Seminary, and Riverside Church. These were places that we would probably not take out-of-towners, but places Anthony definitely wanted to see. It was his day so we did!
After visiting Morningside Heights, we stopped for dinner at a mexican place near Central Park. We then made our way through Central Park to get in line to see Comedy Central Park put on by the NYC Parks department and SummerStage. As we were walking, we saw a group of people, bright lights, etc. Not paying attention (my camera was in my hands) a man told me to not use my flash – okay! We discovered that they were filming Friends with Benefits with Justin Timberlake. That’s them filming and JT in the white shirt (on the right). I was amazed by the paparazzi that were out there with their massive gear. Must say that was my first experience with the paps!
And lastly the reason we went into NYC! Some “illegal” photos of John Oliver and Lewis Black from the Daily Show with Jon Stewart performing at Comedy Central Park. We weren’t suppose to take any photos during the performance but I snapped these quickly!
I have just a “few” obsessions currently. One is my new Le Creuset dutch oven in red! This was my anniversary present (traditionally Anthony and I don’t exchange gifts, but I felt it was now or never to get one of these beasts!)
I was at Home Goods one day (that place is dangerous!!) and found these awesome glass containers for leftovers. I have stopped microwaving items in plastic and this is a great alternative for times when I take my lunch to work that needs reheating. And I love the semi-curve on the bottom. Just the little things in life!
Now these are revolutionary in my opinion! I also picked these up at Home Goods, but I was in Bed, Bath, & Beyond yesterday and saw they carry them too. We have to make our own ice (since I’ve lived on my own, I’ve had one place that had an ice maker – such a luxury!) and I swear no matter how sturdy the ice trays are I break them immediately. In come these genius plastic ice trays. They are flimsy and square – the ice comes out with no problem. No more breaking trays AND the cubes are actually cube! Gotta say I love seeing them nicely lined in the bin!
(I wish I had the money to give someone the Le Creust, but it took 5 years before I could even afford one!)
The winner will receive a $15 gift card to Home Goods to purchase whatever suits their fancy!

Our last full day in Florida was the 4th of July. Again the weather was rainy and stormy and I was for sure the fireworks were going to be canceled. The sun did make an appearance right before sunset. Luckily I ventured to the beach before the sun went down beyond Naples Pier. HELLO gorgeous light!!! I seriously love this first shot. This is almost a SOOC shot (meaning I did very little to it in Lightroom/Photoshop).
I know this is a tad dark of Anthony and I – that’s what happens when you put your camera on auto and pray it turns out. I like the photo anyways!
Some of the cousins + my father!
That’s a LOT of people waiting to watch fireworks!!! (and for the record I don’t know any of these people – guess I should have gotten a photo of the families together)
I didn’t take any photos at the ceremony or reception. I wanted to have a good time and allow the professionals they hired get the photos. So there are lots of family photos during the cocktail hour. The weather pretty much the entire week was gloomy, lots of overcast-ness and rainy more than the normal afternoon showers. Thankfully the rain held off for the outdoor cocktail hour which allowed us to get some nice photos of the extended family.
The nightly photo! Earlier that morning we hit an outlet mall and found this dress for $40. Felt it was perfect compliment to Anthony’s attire. And finally got a photo of the girls!
SISTERS!
That look on Josh’s face melts my heart!
Family photo!
The Sallee Family (we are missing a few, but that’s alright!)
Aunt Patty & Uncle Bill
My parents
Some of the men folk!
Lastly where the cocktail hour was – poolside!
Come back tomorrow for the last post including photos of the house we stayed in. It was heavenly!!!
