For the June issue out on the news stands now, We shot the current food story for Good Housekeeping. The theme was Budget Meals (A common theme it seems these days ; ) It was shot with a regular Co-Contributor Photographer Con Poulos. The colors for the story were pre determined somewhat by the team at the magazine, They were to be Yellow, Orange and Blue/ Green. The article is in a Summer issue, so the photography and styling was to feel summery, light and inviting. I wove in some stripes and a slight Ethnic feel with prints on napkins and backgrounds. It's always so refreshing to embrace a summer story after such a long Winter in NYC.

One of my favorite Editors I have the pleasure to work with each time I contribute to Good Housekeeping is Susan Westmoreland, The magazines Food Director, Susan is is responsible for planning and producing the food features, She also appears in monthly television pieces for Good Housekeeping Reports, a syndicated news service featuring tests and consumer news from the Good Housekeeping Institute, She is a very busy woman but always gracious, generous and at ease. 

Food has always been a part of Westmoreland's life, before entering the publishing profession 25 years ago; she was a chef in Long Island, Massachusetts, and Greece. She remains an active member of the food community and has served on the Board of Directors of Les Dames d'Escoffier and the New York Women's Culinary Alliance. Her knowledge of Food is inspiring and it's so great to work with someone who really loves what they do and it shows on every shoot we do together.


The food was styled by the amazing Anne Disrude.
