Beautiful salty Salmon roe on top of buttery roasted potatoes. A pillow of sour cream adds acidity and chives serve as a perfect finishing touch to the dish.

Granola and creamy yogurt parfaits topped with ripe blackberries. This series of shots were set up and shot in natural light and eaten right after :)

This image was a happy accident. I shot a whole set of this Chia Pudding Topped with Fresh Berries using diffused natural light in my home studio. As I was taking down my set and putting away the gear, I was hungry and ready to eat one of these creations. But as soon as I removed the diffuser, I was captivated by the harsh light and the shadows it created. I love the result that came out of that little extra effort.

I love the look of these vintage sundae glasses and frequently choose them to style desserts. Blackberries were just magnificent while in season and added a perfect accent to the Yogurt and Granola Parfaits.
