When I spotted Columbus Craft Meats uncured pepperoni, I knew what was for dinner! Which later inspired me to do a pepperoni pizza shoot.
Pretty sure I'm never buying another pepperoni again! The flavor is so fresh, and it's not too greasy - plus I love how big the pepperoni pieces are. A food photographer's dream!

I was so happy with how well this photo shoot of iced coffee went that I had to also turn it into a GIF!!! Can you guess how much iced coffee and creamer was used on set? 😆
Loving the way the brown coffee pops in front of the light green backdrop that also matches the creamer carton!
Learned a lot on this photo shoot too - freezing action with flash, retouching in Photoshop, and turning stills into a GIF!

Is there anything better than a pile of perfect raspberries? Ripe, juicy, and glistening under hard light. Can't resist capturing my favorite fruit in macro form.

Watermelon cucumber feta salad, shot with bright, hard light and a GOBO to create a dappled tree effect - does it get any more summery than that?
It's my first time trying a GOBO (see last post for a BTS video) and I can't wait to play around with them more!
Also, I can't resist a good macro shot of the watermelon salad!

Creamy, tangy, and packed with spinach and artichoke in every bite. I had fun styling this dip on warm tan tiled backdrop as a contrast to the white dip along with some shadows to bring out the texture. This dip form La Terra Fina is definitely going on repeat!

Wine and cheese - two of my favorite things. Not all captured at the same time, but they tell one story together. From a couple glasses of white wine, to a bright and sunny charcuterie board. A dark and moody blue cheese plate with red wine. And a fun overhead shot of 3 wine bottles with their own shadows becoming the main feature.

No matter what was on the breakfast table, there was always a hot drink in the frame☕. A little peek into my breakfast photography - from an untouched breakfast spread to the same table half eaten and messy. Plus toast with nut butter and Sunday morning sticky buns. Some mornings are tidier than others!

After returning from my first summer vacation, I am all about the summertime vibes! Last summer I went through a phase of shooting produce with very hard light, and all of them happened to land on the same teal backdrop. That teal screams summer to me - it's the perfect contrasting color to make the reds, oranges, and yellows pop in these produce photos!
Which one is your favorite? 🌶️🍅🍍

The details you miss at first glance. 👀Almonds, cashews, and pistachios up close - every texture, ridge, and grain of salt accounted for. Macro photography has a way of making the everyday feel extraordinary, and nuts are one of those subjects that are often underestimated. Salted and ready for their close-up.
