Produce in the Studio

For those of you who don't know, I am fond of gardening, and this year has been the best garden yet. 

I took some of our bounty and used it in the studio. The colors are just glorious!

Cucumbers, hot banana peppers, Chocolate Sprinkle cherry tomatoes, Yellow Pear cherry tomatoes

Clockwise from left: cucumber, Black Prince tomato, Cherry Bomb hot pepper, jalapeño pepper, Candy Land mini cherry tomato, hot banana pepper, Yellow Pear cherry tomato, Chocolate Sprinkles cherry tomato

After shooting several  layouts on white/light backgrounds, the colors against the dark background jumped out beautifully. 

By far one of my favorite shots of the summer

We planted new-to-us peppers this year, and these Cherry Bombs are now a Davis favorite. I especially like them stuffed with goat cheese and grilled.

We always plant heirloom tomatoes, and we tried a kind called Old German. A medium-size, they are so sweet and delicious, and their color is gorgeous.

My first attempt at preserving was a success! Bill will be making delicious soup base out of these jars when cooler weather comes around.

If you're a gardener with a blog or looking to start one, or even if you just want some pretty shots of what you grow, don't hesitate to contact me for pricing on garden photography.
