NSLC Occasions Magazine Summer 2012

WOOHOO!!! Only my second issue and my bucket of lobster made the cover!!!

I was incorrectly given credit for photography in this issue - the photos in the lobster article that I worked on were actually taken by Halifax photographer Perry Jackson. I didn't take any of the photos. I did however, make all of the food and was the food stylist for the entire lobster article (except for one photo of a lone lobster on a turquoise platter that I have ommitted).

Close up of my name in print for the first time!! This is pulled from the first-round PDF proof I received a while ago and Perry Jackson's name is missing from the 'Photography' section - he is an incredible photographer and I have been SO fortunate to work with him again since.
