I’m always seeking to learn new things and broaden my knowledge of the world. Curiosity hasn’t killed me yet. On Saturday I took a calligraphy class with Michele Hatty Fritz of Meant to be Calligraphy.

Meals On Wheels Family Cookbook Photography

Food photography has great perks – mostly in that it sits still for the camera and you get to eat it after you’re done. While photographing all the food for Made with Love: The Meals On Wheels Family Cookbook, I’m pretty sure I gained a few pounds. I worked with the talented Chef Danielle Turner, […]

S.M.I.L.E. Recipe Book

Original logo design, food photography, and recipe card and book design for the S.M.I.L.E. program.

I’ve worked with Teri Cochrane for over six years and in that time have become good friends with her. She is a phenomenal wellness and nutritional counselor who can transform the life of anyone who follows her customized plans.

She first contacted me to photograph and design a healthy, wholesome recipe book she was writing. One of the main goals of her program is to reestablish a connection to the food one consumes via mindful eating.

Highlighted below are some of my favorite shots from the recipe cards. The package consists of two parts, a guidebook on how to reclaim one’s connection to the food he or she eats and sixty recipe cards, laminated for durability and held together with a ring for easy removal.

Working on this project improved how I approach my own nutritional lifestyle. The book can be purchased through Teri’s website, which I revamped by customizing a Wordpress theme and updating all new portrait photography just last year.
