Oh man this is going to be gooood. 

This is going to be amazing. This looks awesome! No, not awesome. SPECTACULAR.

Your mouth is watering to take the first bite. You clear away the clutter on the table and line up the shot...

You’re warming up for a celebratory happy dance. But clicking the shutter button, your dreams come to a gear-crushing halt and your happy dance turns into a dejected sigh.

Somehow between now and the ‘click’ of your camera, your glorious plate turned into someone else’s microwaved leftovers. #gross

Your inner Karen kicks into gear: Why does this keep happening? Why do my food textures look all goopy and weird? 

I  perfectly swirled that frosting/placed that garnish/cut at a diagonal. And man, this looks yellow and blue? How does food look yellow and blue at the same time!?

If you’re feeling a little insecure about your food photography and you’d really love to share more of your work, but it just doesn’t meet your standards of beauty... Heck maybe beautiful is too lofty a goal and you’d go for passable at this point. 

I know where you are, trust me—the feeling of inadequacy is all too familiar.

I spent 2 years practicing food photography before I dared show a glimpse of what I’d been up to. It was beyond frustrating.

But what was even more frustrating is that everywhere I looked, NO ONE was telling me how to get better. 

I read blog after blog, scoured Pinterest, and watched behind-the-scenes videos and nothing. Zilch. Nada.
