she shoots food...and brides

i once dated a guy whose mother was a food stylist. one summer afternoon, we sat on his kitchen counter, plowing through a big bowl of the sweetest, ripest, most perfect, strawberries. each one more perfect than the one before.

it wasn't until we had about drained the bowl, that we found out his mother had spent the entire day, sorting and preening each one of those berries for a photoshoot~scheduled for that evening. oops. we were summarily sent off to every market in the area buying up all the strawberries we could find. { she was sort of grouchy about it} usually, it takes hours of prep time and myriad little tricks-of-the-trade to produce exquisite food photos like these. but making them look effortless and fresh without all the bells and whistles, is a whole other art in itself. photographer jennifer causey is the eye behind this stunning, salivatable {new word} work. who knew crumbs could look so beautiful?

jennifer also takes some pretty spankin' shots of interiors/vignettes AND does weddings.
