You know–it’s so funny that you like this picture because it was making me SO mad. I took it out to my “studio” (AKA the garage) and it just looked like a flat mess. I couldn’t do anything with it! And then it was dinner time and the kids were ready to eat and I wanted that picture–NOW. I plopped it down on the counter in my kitchen (where I NEVER shoot) and said–“Hey–look how the light’s hitting that…” And I just grabbed my camera and took about 5 pictures. That was all, and then we were on to dinner. And is your parchment in Australia brown? Ours is here. You can get both. I assume you mean the white kind? Otherwise it’s just brown, on brown, on brown!!

PS fab photo 🙂 Little trick to keep up your sleeve for “brown on brown” if you feel a photo is too brown – parchment paper. Usually 2 sheets is better because it’s kinda see through. I like to scrunch it up first, then I place it on the cutting board then plonk the brown food on top. Signature styling! 🙂

Not that I think this is too brown. I don’t think it is because the lighting is so beautiful. 🙂
