It's summer now and those beautiful blackberries are popping up all over. This is talented Pastry Chef Sean Ehland from McCrady's here in Charleston. He does some wonderful dishes with these and many other fresh fruit throughout the year. He was a trooper for waking up first thing in the morning and making a trip outside of Charleston for a shoot at the blackberry farm!

HGTV: 22 things to put on a porch...
It's always fun working with a great crew on a fun project. This shoot for the July/August 2014 issue of HGTV magazine was shot down in beautiful Savannah, GA on a perfect sunny day. The wonderful Elizabeth Demos did the prop styling and she kicked butt gathering all the "things" we needed (which was a lot). We all had a great time shooting throughout the day and the weather was just perfect. For some reason the crew always loves shooting random behind the scenes shots of the photographer, so enjoy those and no, I did not fall off that ladder! Go pick up your issue and enjoy the story and images, hopefully you find a little inspiration to help liven up your own porch!
Spring Flowers...
Here are some bright and beautiful spring flowers to brighten up this hump day. I love the beauty and smell of fresh flowers in the house and office. Especially simple and clean arrangements, like the ones below.
Strawberries...
Summer is just about here and it's almost time for one of my favorite things. Strawberries! You gotta love bitting into a sweet and juicy strawberry on a hot summer day! Though if you want something a little different try starting that day off with a Strawberry and Mint Parfait. Either way go enjoy what the summer gives us!
