Boston Homegrown: Sing Your Own Special Song
Just a fun photo for the day! I love that little curious sheep! It was taken at Stillman’s at the Turkey Farm as part of the Boston Homegrown cookbook project. Since the book hit the warehouses this week (and should be shipping out to bookstores), I thought it would be nice to post a Boston…

*There aren’t a lot of songs out there with vegetables in the lyrics, so instead I’ve used a lyric from the song that I was craving today, “Silver Springs” by Fleetwood Mac. The Mac is back. As part of the Boston Homegrown book, I got to meet and photograph chefs all over the greater Boston…
Read MoreChocolate Cake: You're My Favorite Work of Art
So, all of this food photography occasionally prompts ME to actually cook something. On this occasion, I BAKED. Now, as I’ve mentioned before, I’m much more of a “let’s throw everything in this one pan with some olive oil and call it dinner” kind of girl. My dinners are usually delicious, but they’re not very…
Read MoreBoston Food Photography: Open Your Heart With the Key
Yay for food! The Mr. and I celebrated Valentine’s Day together this past Saturday. We had dinner with three other couples. The men cooked and the women got to kick back, relax, and enjoy the meal! Knowing how decadent it was going to get, I brought my camera along so I could photograph our feast!…
Read MoreVerrill Farm: Carry Moonbeams Home in a Jar
For some reason, maybe it was the recent arrival of winter around here, I was thinking about my Verrill Farm photos last night. One of my favorite photos is of Steve Verrill eating the corn – that’s apparently how to tell if it’s ripe or not. I always approve of the taste testing method! Over…
Read MoreBoston Homegrown 2011: Have Some More Chicken
Now for some food photography! For most of 2010 and 2011 I worked on a book titled “Boston Homegrown.” I traveled around Massachusetts photographing farmers, fishermen, cheesemakers, and chefs. I got to meet wonderful people who were beyond generous with their time and knowledge. I’ve blogged about a bunch of my adventures, but still have…
Read MoreBoston Farm Photography: All At Once
As part of the Boston Homegrown book project, I traveled around Massachusetts (and even Rhode Island) photographing farmers at work. I toured the farms, met the animals, and narrowly escaped death due to clumsiness every time (although I do have a nice scar from falling into barbed wire). You may remember me admitting my fears…
Read MoreMeritage, Boston Food Photography: And As You Feel It, You'll Know It's True
Stick a fork in me; I’m done!This is a photo from my last Boston Homegrown session, with Meritage at the Boston Harbor Hotel. Pretty amazing, right? After I finished photographing this strawberry shortcake, I got to eat it. Why not photograph that, too? My half-eaten dessert is still pretty photogenic! After more than a year…
Read MoreParson's Table: 'Round My Hometown
I thought it was time to post a few more food photos! These were taken at Parson’s Table in Winchester. Chris Parsons is the owner, head chef, and overall cool guy bringing good food to the ‘burbs! He used to run the seafood restaurant “Catch” in the same location and in all my years of…
Read MorePete and Jen's Backyard Birds: Wanted To Be A Farmer All Year Round
Pete and Jen are two of the coolest people ever. I photographed them this past fall for the Boston Homegrown project and they were so patient with all my questions. We shared a mutual enthusiasm for what we were each doing and it made my time at their farm so wonderful! Pete and Jen run…
