I’ve been thinking about starting a food blog for a while now and have had friends encouraging me to starting posting already for just as long. But it never seemed like the right time until now. At the beginning of this summer I decided, ‘why not?’ and looked into actually doing it instead of just thinking about it. This immediately led to me realizing how much I don’t know about food styling and photography and website design.

Though I’ve been learning! My husband gave me a crash course on using the camera. I’ve read every article on food styling I’ve been able to find.

I started with fruit.

Then I moved onto taking so many pictures of our dinners that my family has been threatening to go get pizza instead.

And now it’s time to start the adventure of running a website.
