Styling a strawberry mozarella salad for a photosh

Styling a strawberry mozarella salad for a photoshoot. How many of us spend hours deciding what props to use and then having to set the scene. Very few fancy props are needed if you choose the right background and the right serving dish. That’s another hour saved 🥰

I’m always looking for new salad recipes and delighted I made this 🥰 If you love fruit in salads then this will make you feel that it’s summer all year round ❤️ I had all these ingredients in my kitchen so was lucky as I was hoping to make something a little different for dinner. Spinach and rocket leaves with strawberries, pomegranate, pistachios and dressed with a pomegranate molasses balsamic dressing. Then topped with a delicious burrata oozing with creaminess. Such a delicious salad deserves a beautiful bowl to serve it in and I love my new antique pewter bowl from @twogreybirds ❤️

Ok so I’m back after a bit of a break over the summer 💗 I work part time so it’s not always easy to fit in food photography not to mention videos and TikToks 😌 And visiting family in Ireland I spent all my time with them and not my camera 😉We’ve been house hunting for the best part of a year and after many disappointments (a crazy amount of bidders pushing the prices sky high) we are so happy to have found a lovely home 🥰 So I would say summer was pretty successful even if my photography wasn’t 😂 Anyway who else loves pink? Pop over and see how I styled this on my reels page 💗

If you’re trying to avoid caffeine then a rose infused pink latte will hit the spot 💕 Made with @rawnice pink pataya powder, rose water, almond milk and raw honey. Topped with pink coconut cream and rose petals it’s a perfect start to the day 💗

My life is complicated. Complicated but exciting 😉During the week I live in one country (for work) and then at weekends and holidays in the place we really love ❤️ Both in small places but one in the city and one by the sea. I never know where my things are, like my favourite pair of trousers or favourite lipstick 😆For photography it is even more complicated as the car boot is always full of photography gear and props. Then there are the times you have the photoshoot all decided and you forget your camera. Like last weekend 🤦🏼‍♀️ So I had baked these macarons and had all the props then went to look for my camera and… boom! I realised I left it behind 😳Never fear the iPhone came to my rescue. This photo shows while it won’t always give you the results you had intended it works perfectly for flatlays. I intentionally put the blossoms in front and out of focus so as to frame the photo. Oh and by the way the macarons were delish 💜

LEMON GINGER HONEY TEA I love living by the sea an

LEMON GINGER HONEY TEA
I love living by the sea and waking up to the sounds of the waves but waking up to the sounds of the city also gives you a different kind of a buzz. On a recent work trip to the city I woke up just after dawn to the busy sound of life starting earlier than I normally do. But you know what? It gave me more energy than normal and I was able to work a lot faster. It just proves that surroundings affect your working ability and energy. But first… I needed to start the day with some lemon honey tea 💛 Are you a city or country/seaside type of person?

Berry Gin Splash There’s something about summer

Berry Gin Splash

There’s something about summer, pink gin and berries that gets me every time. I made this gin cocktail using crushed cherries and strawberries with pink gin. This was my first time doing levitation food photography as requested by a client so I thought I’d get some practice in first 😍 I had fun photographing this but what a mess I made! And it’s not even Friday 😉

CITRUS SPLASH I am obsessed with limes and anythin

CITRUS SPLASH
I am obsessed with limes and anything citrus. Months ago I bought a fish tank (minus the fish) and it has been sitting in the box until yesterday so when I was cutting up some limes for cooking I thought why not! I decided to use my composing skills so I could enter the Golden Triangles challenge held by @creativefoodlens . It’s not as easy composing with a full tank of water as it is on a dry backdrop but with a lot of limes, a lot of splashing and a lot of mess I’m pretty proud of it 💚What to do with the left over limes… It’s simple: pass the G&T 🍸

I just love everything about the Mediterranean. The colour blue, lemons growing wild and palm trees swaying in the wind. So why not put all of that into a photo shoot and have fun while doing it 💙 Shot in my Mediterranean garden with fresh lemons, harsh sunlight and under the shade of my palm tree. Shame I missed the #bvshardlight challenge but worth posting anyway 💙
