I love a good orange juice. Fresh squeezed, no contest. I love simplicity and minimalism… honestly there is like nothing on my walls (maybe that is partially due to indecision). For me, breakfast should involve eggs, sometimes bacon, on special occasions, a hollandaise. Those savory breakfasts always pair well with a little OJ. Here’s my visual ode to the humble orange juice. 

I made horchata for the first time last year just before Cinco de Mayo. It’s the easiest thing to make and I honestly wish I had made it years ago. It takes a little bit of forethought, which isn’t my strongest point. There isn’t much better than a cool glass of horchata with a spicy street taco, though. 

I mentioned a little while back that I’ve begun making my own sourdough bread. One of my favorite things to make with it is a good ol’ grilled cheese sandwich. You can’t really go wrong. I love it with a variety of cheeses, sprinkle some aged white cheddar and parmesan, making sure to add some to the crust and I’m a happy camper. 

For the first image, of just the cheese slice, I used a standard Swiss. I wanted the iconic holes to really tell the story and be playful against the blue backdrop. In the sandwich, I used the cheese of childhood, American cheese, because I wanted it to be super gooey; just to ooze out. The result makes my food photographer heart happy. 

I’d love to hear your thoughts. Feel free to reach out and start up a chat. 

A little while back we were almost out of yogurt. Yogurt is a breakfast staple for my two youngest, so this was a serious problem. I felt a strong aversion to going to the store, and I knew that you could make more yogurt with just a small amount of plain yogurt and milk. So thanks to the internet, I quickly discovered how, and in a few hours we had some homemade yogurt on our hands. My children decided that they loved it far more than store bought and I’ve been making it since.  

I just had some iced Crio Bru today. I hadn’t had any in months and I forgot how good it is. With the cold weather I’ve been taking it warm, but I prefer it iced. It reminded me that I haven’t posted these gif and images yet. Some clean white beverage shots along with some fun little gifs. I hope you enjoy them. They were a blast to make. 

If you have any food or beverage photography needs I’d love to chat. Click here and we can get the ball rolling.
