When one of your besties visits from afar after 7

When one of your besties visits from afar after 7 years there’s a big cause for celebrations 💞 I was out of practice this time around but with the help of fresh flowers (and champagne 😉) I think it turned out just fine 😍 What a special two weeks we had reminiscing and knowing nothing’s changed (probably because we are on the phone 3 times a week haha) As they say true friends are like stars you don’t have to see them to know they are there ✨✨✨

I finally got some pumpkin baking in 🎃 with pumpkin cinnamon rolls. I was wondering should I avoid it this year as the kids are all away having fun at uni but why should I give up celebrating Halloween kids or no kids 😂

I’m not sure about you but I am finding this autumn we are still in summer. I can’t remember it being so warm this late and there is no sign of autumn here let alone winter. I’m still late with the pumpkin cooking as I can’t get into the mood with temperatures like this. So we are still in Mediterranean mode for breakfast with these delicious whipped ricotta and feta toasts topped with Iberico ham and figs drizzled with honey. Happy summer I mean autumn 🍁☀️

This shot took less than 10 minutes to set up and 5 minutes to shoot on timer mode. No baking or food prep required. Just a bottle of yogurt drink, a packet of cookies and a few lumps of ice. Add a camera, tripod, backdrop and flash and voila! Then composite and edit in @lightroom and @photoshop to produce the perfect splash image 😃

I felt like a bit of action today and all I needed was some ice, fresa mango yogurt drink and Roditas cookies from @mercadona, to make a lot of mess 😉 I am happy with the results and I had great fun but not with the clearing up 😆

Table for one or table for two? I would choose two any night of the week but on this occasion it was just myself due to the nature of my hubby’s work. So I had to imagine I was eating with himself when taking this shot. I was perfectly happy talking to myself 😆 but one week on my own is enough thank you very much! Delighted to be able to composite it together in photoshop. At least I had leftovers the next day 😉❤️

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 💜
