Well, I decided to delve into food photography once again and this shoot came out better than the last one. Practice makes perfect, right!?! Well, this is FAR from perfect but I am well on my way to where I want to be, so I will take it! Don’t forget to read my other article I posted on Food Photography here; Food Photography.
I decided to go with fruit because of it’s bright colors and it seemed easy enough to pose. This shoot went really well and fast, thank goodness. I took about 25-30 pictures within about 10 minutes, which was good because I didn’t take into account the fruit juices to settle and ruin the sugar. So if you are trying to photograph fruit be aware of the juice that settles over time, other than that it photographs great!
Out of the 25-30 shots I took, I ended up with about 7 that I fell in love with. I am a lover of high contrast, and over powered color. I believe in any photo the stronger the contrast and the more intense the color the more of an impact the photo makes on its viewer…..and isn’t that the point of photography??? To make an impact right!?!
These blueberries are my favorite, they photographed so flawlessly and they take on they’re own aura. Even though the Blueberries are one solid color, they have their own dimensions and I was able to apply my favorite edits and they still look amazing.

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!
