So I am almost caught up in my blog posts! I photographed with food & prop stylist Rachel Grunig a little bit ago, and I just love working with her. I love all of the textures and colors in the overhead shoot with the plumcots and the lushness of the urban jungle shot. I hope… Read more »
I had been talking about doing a shoot with my dear friend Anne who is a wonderful cook and baker. Since she had recently been to Kauai for her honeymoon and also had a shave ice maker, she suggested the shaved ice idea. I actually didn’t even know what it was even though I have… Read more »
A few weeks ago I worked on a shoot with Quinn Poer which was super fun! We were introduced by mutual friends and I thought it would be great to get together for a test shoot. She had the hotdog & lemonade idea and I thought it was fantastic. She did make the cutest hotdogs and… Read more »
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Alisha Dooley last weekend, who did all the styling on this test shoot. It’s funny because we actually know each other from a past life, just growing up in Seattle and going to shows, we have a lot of mutual friends and had spent time around each… Read more »

I also went to the next day’s event, the Food & Wine Experience: Grand Tasting, and while it was really impressive and mostly… Read more »
About a month ago, (I can’t believe it has been that long!) I attended the Gather Seattle: Design Your Plate Workshop at Aran Goyoga’s studio. It was so great. Gather Seattle, founded by Chloe puts on workshops and lunches that bring together women in the PNW food & design industries. They have women speak at… Read more »
I had the pleasure of shooting with Beth Batson a few weeks ago. We always end with with such pretty images! I am obsessed with the images of the pasta and the egg process shots. She definitely took on a project with making the pasta from scratch (twice at least) since she tested it prior… Read more »
Before Christmas I had a few friends over to work on a canning/pickling project. I know this is from something I did over a month ago, but since the holidays there has been a lot going on. I found some pickling recipes in a few of my favorite cookbooks, Twenty Dinners, Gjelina, and Hartwood. Most… Read more »
