Kale may be trendy, but it it should be widely acclaimed, because it’s awesome. One afternoon, my girl, Nutrition Simply, popped over to my house for an afternoon of boss lady working together and brought me this deliciousness to eat, style and shoot. This Crunchy Cruciferous Detox Salad is full of superfoods & topped with […]

I only just discovered the glory of fresh figs upon moving to Augusta last summer, but they have quickly grown to be one of my favorite fruits. They are luscious, sweet and seriously beautiful! There is nothing better than walking down the street to my neighbor’s house and plucking a ripe fig off her tree for […]

Recently I had the chance to meet the fabulous team at Wier / Stewart & begin working on a few product & commercial images of their incredible branding, design & advertising work. Something near and dear to my heart here is Georgia Regents University, the local university where my husband serves as a medical resident […]

Last week for the Rising Tide Society‘s Instagram Challenge, we shared #MyMondayMugshot to show the mugs that fueled our Mondays! Since I’m not a huge caffeine girl, and much prefer tea or decaf, my mug was full of my latest favorite afternoon drink: a Coconut Matcha Green Tea Latte! With Augusta’s crazy August heat, it’s […]

When Shannan of Nutrition Simply reached out to me to capture her brand for the relaunch of her website, we quickly hit it off. As a dietician, Shannan empowers women to be their best selves through “real simple science, real simple recipes and really real talk.” My white-space loving, foodie self was just about jumping […]

My husband & I could eat Asian-inspired dishes pretty much every day of the week and be content. When I first discovered broccolini and it’s crisp texture, I was sold. Then, add a bit of garlic, sesame oil and rice vinegar to it, and it makes it just that much better. I love the way […]

4th of July weekend is always one full of amazing food. A tradition in my husband’s family is to make homemade ice cream for Independence Day. Since he was on-call at the hospital all weekend, and we weren’t able to visit family to celebrate and indulge, I decided to make our favorite homemade banana ice cream […]

For years my mom made these incredible oatmeal chocolate chip cookies for our family. Sometimes she would add pecans and raisins, other days walnuts, dried cherries and apricots, and other days just whatever she could find in the pantry that seemed a good fit. They quickly became my dad’s favorite, and recently resurfaced as our […]

I am deeming this summer the summer of salads. All of the fresh produce and bold colors are finding their way onto my plate in unique combinations, and I couldn’t love it more. The peppery arugula was a perfect contrast to the earthy sweetness of the beets and the fresh figs. Truth be told, anything […]

Rumor has it that tomorrow is National Martini Day! It just so happens to be that a couple weeks ago I was at the liquor store dreaming up cocktails to craft and shoot and I came across a vodka I hadn’t seen elsewhere:  Fruitland Augusta Peach Vodka. When asking the store clerk, he mentioned people […]
