FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY

 

Not Pretty.

 

My food photography needs some work. It's unflattering. It's shadowy. The lighting is all wrong.

 

I'm one who believes that very little in this world can't be figured out by some reading, a good to-do list, and practical application. So, let's try to remedy this, shall we?

INSPIRING ME

 

Celebrate, Pippa Middleton

 

This book is full of simple, pretty party ideas. It's taken some flack for it's content, but I personally don't understand why (perhaps because there isn't one photo or mention of an inflatable bouncy house? Which is part of it's charm, in my opinion...). The easy, uncomplicated ideas are perfect and exactly what I look for in parties.

 

 

 

  

 

 

Moleskin volant extra small notebooks

 

Perfect size to throw in a bag or sit on your bedside table. I got the green set (emerald IS the color of the year, you know).

 

 

 

 

 

The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook, Deb Perelman

 

I got this for Christmas and all I want to do is make everything in it. Deb Perelman has me trying to learn the metric system, for goodness sakes, something in which my husband has tried to convince me to do for over 10 years. The book has brownie cookies in. Do I need to say anything else?
