You've come along way baby

I literally had just given birth to my baby boy Sammy days before when I got the phone call.  The photographer for beyondwonderful.com had just quit and they were in dire straights.  Me in a post birth delirious state offered up my so called "talents"...........C R A Z Y  I know. At this point in my life I was just rediscovering my love for photography and knew nothing about food photography or food styling.  The first shoots were out of control, screaming baby who could not be put down at all so I literally nursed and shot at the same time.  Food crashing to the floor, crappy lighting and to top it all off I was using a teeny tiny Kodak point and shoot digital camera.  Now, I just laugh it all off and reminisce about the good ole days and how far I've come. The "baby"  just turned six and I've moved onto natural lighting and shoot with  my beloved  Nikon D 80. The Apple Martini pictured to the left is not only one of my most favorite images but one of the most popular recipes on beyond wonderful.  It is a supper yummy drink that everyone must try.
