Waking up to gloomy weather and gloomier news makes a piece of this warm blueberry cake with Bluenose rum sauce seem extra comforting. It’s light, and soft, and sweet, which I think we could all use right about now. Our full recipe is up on the @tasteofns website. 💙♠️ . . . . . food styling : @kathyjollimore 📸 : me ceramic plates : @potsbykw
CHRIS BROUGHT ME HOME A TREAT. 😃🎉💕
The first recipe posted for #blueberrymonth is our Blueberry Lavender Gin Fizz and it's here just in time for the weekend. With Nova Scotia wild blueberry juice, homemade lavender syrup, @steinhartdistillery's gin, and a soda splash, it's tart, refreshing and just what the doctor ordered after a long work week. You can check out the full recipe on the @tasteofns website.🍸👩‍⚕️💙♠️ . . . . . food styling : @kathyjollimore 📸 : me
Afternoon board meeting at @birdiesbreadco.
Sometimes I forget that I love to, and am actually good at, photographing things other than food. The @tangledgarden on Monday was a simple and beautiful reminder. 🌾☀️ . . . . . @tasteofns #wolfville #annapolisvalley #novascotia #visitnovascotia #naturallight #driedflowers #preserves #eatlocalns #novascotiaeats #stilllife
I had wild blueberries left over after my @tasteofns shoot with @kathyjollimore last week and I knew I wanted to make something pretty with them, so I came up with Wild Blueberry-Star Anise Eton Mess with Tangerine Curd. I simmered 1 cup of wild blueberries with 3 tbsp. of sugar and 2 star anise pods until thick - about 15 minutes. I made my 6-Minute Microwave Lemon Curd (seriously, you should Google this - it’s so quick and soooooo delicious) but I substituted 3 tangerines for the 3 lemons. I whisked a small batch of unsweetened whipped cream, gently folded in crumbled, @preschoice meringues, and then topped that with dollops of cooled blueberries and curd. 💙🍊 . . . . . food styling + 📸 : me handmade blue plate : @potsbykw #wildblueberries #lemoncurd #tasteofthemonth #beautifulcuisines #f52grams #foodstyling #foodphotography #fwx #gloobyfood #mybeautifulmess #novascotiaeats #onthetable #storyofmytable #flatlay #visitnovascotia #dslr #alienbees
I ran into an old acquaintance a few weeks ago and she said, “Oh! I’ve been seeing your photography in @halifaxcurated magazine for a while now! Who’s doing the writing in your articles?” to which I replied, “Um, me. Gotta use that Arts degree for something!” This shot from the current issue is one of my faves, because, well, @deedeesicecream!!! I try to keep in mind the aesthetic and tone of the brand I’m shooting and Dee Dee’s logo and branding uses a lot of deep bluish-purple, so I painted this background especially for this shoot and then bought the wooden letters at @michaelsstores and painted those to match. 💜🍨💙 . . . . . food styling + 📸 : me
Just reading the latest issue of @halifaxcurated tonight at my parent's house and was pleasantly surprised to see one of the photos I shot for @grandprewines in June accompanying one of the articles. The thrill of seeing my work in print never gets old! Stay tuned as I'll be posting more shots plus a short video I shot on the fly that same evening very soon. ☺️
It’s BLUEBERRY MONTH and Kathy and I are absolutely smitten with the fresh batch of shots we did for @tasteofns! Here’s the first in our series, with more to come, including three new original recipes, throughout the month. 💙♠️ . . . . . food styling : @kathyjollimore 📸 : me
I was contacted by Sasha from @livelybakeryhfx in Bedford to do a few shots of her cakes and tarts for Simply Gluten Free magazine. Sasha's baking is 100% gluten-free, dairy free and refined sugar-free. It's also 100% delicious. I know because I ate three pieces of cake and a strawberry tart in one day. Ha. You can find Sasha, and her beautiful baked treats, at the @alderneylandingmarket in Dartmouth every Saturday. 🎂
