A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A SOUTHERN LIVING FOOD STYLIST

Many of you may wonder what it's like working at the world's greatest magazine, Southern Living (Ok, so I'm slightly biased, but how could you not love eating for a living and being exposed to new and beautiful things all of the time?)

It's a lot like your shoe collection. There's always something a little different depending upon the occasion.

I thought you might like to take a behind the scenes peek of a recent photo shoot at our headquarters in Birmingham. I was lucky enough to have the honor of working with an amazing team: Beth Dreiling, one of our food photographers and Mindi Shapiro Levine, a freelance prop stylist. Both of my friends are incredibly talented in their respective fields. Mindi snapped these with her iphone while we were shooting.

Details
Subject: Lightened Mac and Cheese
Month to run: January 2011
Objective: Make the subject look so scrumptious and delicious looking you can't believe it could possibly be light.

Let me know what you think when it hits the news stand.

Oh yeah, and the shoes? Sparkly, comfy flats... perfect.

  3. Can't wait! It looks beautiful, Becca. Having just had a food shoot in my own kitchen, I know there is a lot more to it than "simple" to get that perfect shot. Happy weekend! xo Lidy
