Professional Portrait Photography: 20 Questions

This mouthwatering shot of seasonal lobster salad was almost a magazine cover star—but it didn’t quite make it. ⁠ ⁠ It's always disappointing when that happens, but eventually I realized that those changes are less about the quality of the photo and more about other considerations behind the scenes. Learning not to take those losses personally was an important part of becoming a professional photographer.

Who says s’mores have to be reserved for campfires? This s’mores birthday cake is absolutely delicious and perfect for special occasions year-round (but especially in the summertime). ⁠ ⁠ Grab the recipe via the link in my bio!

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! What’s your go-to grub? ⬇️

An al fresco feast like this one is a quintessential summer experience. And it’s easy to bring together—just grab a blanket, some canned cocktails, and all the ready-to-eat fixins from a joint like @hannafordmkts. Cheers!

Having trouble with lactose doesn’t mean you have to avoid ice cream (at least, not anymore). That’s where @beckonicecream comes in, a lactose-free ice cream brand that uses real milk and cream. ⁠ ⁠ I got to help showcase how creamy and delicious this ice cream is a while back with some fun pops of color to reflect the brand’s playful vibe.
