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!

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.

This series was inspired by a photo I took last summer - tomatoes with hard light on this same blue tile backdrop, anchored in the lower right corner with a lot of negative space - simple, yet dramatic. There's just something about the combination of the blue, moody hard light, and red that keeps drawing me in. I'm loving how this series came together. P.S. Styling spaghetti is a lot of fun!

Rose and lavander macarons - pretty in pink and purple, no notes. 🌸🪻 Light blue and lavanader backdops to match - sometimes everything just comes together.

Clean ingredients, beautiful packaging, and an almond butter filling that speaks for itself.🍫 A little shadow drama to add dimension. Hail Merry Snacks never disappoints.

Can we talk about how beautiful pistachios are? The greens, the yellows, the browns - they were made for macro photography. And they taste as good as they look! Wonderful Pistachios
