How beautiful are these? {Snagged from What Katie Ate}

Upon starting this blog in March (I can't believe it's already been 5 months) I've featured several talented and reputable interior stylists, a profession and hobby that I have felt particularly drawn to with in the past year. If you've been following recently you might recall some of the food photographers that I've featured like Maria Grossman, Katie Quinn Davies and the incredible duo from the Jewels of New York. My interest in food styling has grown by the day, especially since early last year when I decided not to satisfy my love for baking by enrolling in the French Culinary Institute for Pastry Arts. Perhaps there's a future for me in food photography? No matter, I take such wonderful pleasure in feature artists like Anna Williams...

Anna Williams has published work in major publications including  Martha Stewart Living, Real Simple, O Magazine, Williams Sanoma etc... and also more recently photographed for several kitting books written by Joelle Hoverson. Check out the latest on The Purl Bee. One thing I love about food photography is checking out beautiful tools and props I wish I owned! That white, enamel tea strainer is one incredible find. That first image reminds me of a tomato consomme experiment I conducted last summer, although I assure you it didn't look nearly as pristine and beautiful.

I love the way food stylist, Katie Quinn Davies photographs her tasty subjects. Katie, a native of Dublin Ireland currently living in Sydney, Australia photographs food in a fresh, honest and candid fashion always using natural daylight in order to create striking, perfectly coordinated and styled compositions. I especially enjoy her blog What Katie Ate, featuring more of her stunning photography and homemade recipes to go with them. 

You've probably noticed Katie's incredible collection of baking props that add so much character to her photographs. I love using vintage kitchen tools and have found that tag sales, ebay and Etsy have proved to be great resources if you know what you're looking for!
