Aissa Sweets | Creative Food Styling

Here’s a little peek into a recent food styling and photography session I did for Aissa Sweets. Since our first collaboration together back in February went so well, and we discovered that our combined talents worked so well together, they trusted me this time to do the entire shoot here at my home on my own. I could never be pretentious enough to call my living room my “studio,” but for a couple of days that’s exactly what it was.

Aissa Sweets has come up with quite a few new products since our last shoot, and they of course need beautiful marketing photos to show people all these amazing exotic treats. I was charged with the enjoyable challenge of blending these new photos seamlessly into the style of their existing set of photos. The shots we did in the winter have become such an integral part of their brand and style, that I knew I wanted to use many of the same props and emulate the lighting setup as much as I could.  Different location, different time of year (and therefore completely different type of sun), but as always, all beautiful natural light. Super easy and nothing beats it.

Their new cranberry and apricot filled baklava are amazing, and the fruits are just so gorgeous, like exotic jewels.

Some of their new products include a variety of bars in unique flavors. Both mine and my husband’s favorite are the new spiced carrot-cinnamon bars. Incredible!

The walnut-coconut bars are also truly delicious!

And the prettiest little gems….. fruit-filled, buttery mamoul cookies.

Eating and Exploring in New England & Beyond

It’s a bright and sunny morning in Portland 🌞 and I’m caffeinating before heading out on a food tour!  This beautiful cardemom bun is from @radialcoffeecoportland, almost too pretty to eat. The color and texture were perfect. 🤌 And a large drip coffee ☕️ hit the spot.
Was the Bang-Bang Shrimp the highlight of our meal at @themillerstavernmanchester? It's so hard to say because everything was so enjoyable. However, my hubby and I have been on a bang bang shrimp kick lately so this really hit the spot for us. Next time I'll have to try the bang bang tacos.
The smash burger at @themillerstavernmanchester was absolutely delicious. My husband does not normally do this, but he insisted I try a bite of it, and I agreed-this one is awesome! 

I love the natural light in the restaurant and the warm tavern tones. Perfect for photos!
