Who doesn't love Italian food?

I honestly cannot think of one single person who does not love at least a good slice of pizza.

There's so much I want to photograph when it comes to food. It was time to make it happen.

I contacted one of Arkansas' premier food stylists and we collaborated back in October on the first of what will be a series of some of my favorite things in the world of food.

Muriel and I spent a wonderful and fun afternoon in my kitchen designing, styling and photographing a series of some SERIOUSLY tasty treats. Just about everything that was photographed was promptly devoured. I was fascinated as I watched her work. I wanted to learn. And learn I did.

I knew it was time-consuming to properly style just one photograph, but I was a but thrown off that it took almost two hours for just one image. We went back and forth, moving things around, shooting a photo and then trying something different.

I am beyond thrilled with how these turned out. It was well worth every red cent I invested in the food, props and the fabulous stylist. I have several more shoots planned in my head so my goal is to tackle one a month. Check back to see what we shot next!
