For quite awhile now, I have been fascinated with the art of Food Photography, specifically Dark Food Photography. I say “Art” because that is exactly what it is, Art! No one really thinks about food photography until you try and take pictures of a dish, then and only then, will you realize the complexity of the art and what exactly goes into making the perfect picture of the perfect dish. It takes precision, patients, and perfect planning to make the “money shot”.
The very first shot of Corn on the cob that I took in the above photo is my very first attempt at food photography, EVER in life!!!
The shot below of the Green Beans is literally the 3rd shot I’ve ever taken of food! I think they came out better than I expected, but I obviously have a long way to go to perfection. But, I am in it for the long haul and I am loving the learning process!

Hi there, I’m Beth!
This site is my world, my travels, my food and my thoughts, in pictures. I am a Photographer, and a Graphic Designer, doing what I love and living in one of the most beautiful places in all of the world, Texas!
Honestly, the field of Photography is so vast, and there is always something new to learn, so that title of “Professional” will be a fun, yet challenging goal to obtain. I have always loved photography and I’ve always loved to write so this is my perfect combo. The old adage is, “A picture is worth a thousand words”, this is true, but if you are anything like me, you want that little bit more behind what the photographer’s thoughts were at the time. That little extra is what I want this site to accomplish. I will also chronicle my time learning everything as I go along, which should be quite interesting in its own right. I am hoping that maybe I can ease someone else’s fears no matter what they decide to jump into. Because, when diving head first into anything new, it can be a lonely road to walk alone.
I have lived all over the United States from North Carolina, to California, and from Illinois, and finally resting here in Houston, Texas. What started as a vacation to the Houston area turned out to be the best move we have ever made. Before my feet ever hit the pavement, I knew I was “home”. When your soul is at peace everything in life becomes clearer and less confusing, so that alone, I know will help when conveying what I need to say here.
I am not “PC” by any means, this is real life, real thoughts, real experiences, and real photos. All photos were taken by myself, all are copyrighted, and I will always set out to use as minimal editing as possible. I feel that, too much editing takes away from the photo and also from the photographer, and their skills. If you have any questions or comments about my photos or posts or if you would like to purchase a print of mine, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for visiting, happy scrolling, and don’t forget to hit the FOLLOW button!

I love food photography, I only miss the way to catch the smell and to keep in the picture! On the other hand the souvenir may make wonders!
Oh yes! If we could capture the smell and keep that in the picture also, we would be rich!
Really nice photo! Food photography is really an art! Im trying to learn something too but not easy at all ☺️
I really appreciate the feedback. Thank you! When I first started in Photography I was in love with photographing nature and landscapes and somehow I transitioned to food! Maybe it was the challenge of it because Food Photography isn’t the easiest niche to conquer. Regardless, I love it! Stay tuned, I will have another food post up soon.
I think you’re off to a good start! All that food looks yummy 🙂
Thank you so much! I was so scared to even try Food Photography but they didn’t come out too bad!
