food styling at squam art workshops

 

Nina, Bea of La Tartine Gourmande + Christine of Lavender & Limes

    
 
  

Thea knew what to ask, upping the photography lessons to the next level.  If you want a happy cry for a minute, check out her family portraits, here.

       
 
   

Mentor session with Liz, Kirsten, Bea + Thea

 
 

Brittany of Whatever & Stuff having a personal playdate with the dough & apples.  5 kids, this one has, including 20 month-old twins.  She always makes it to Squam to make sure she has something to give back.

 
   
 

Somehow Elizabeth has taken my love affair with woods + water & sent it completely over the top by adding an apron party with cameras, cooking, pregnant bellies & over-full mamas.  With a brilliant food stylist (with more than a touch of star quality) showing us exactly how she makes her perfect pictures & a brilliant photographer shadowing her every move, asking her just the questions I didn't know to ask.  After making us cry with her beautiful story about why she started creating, of course.   Because women like to cry together & we also like watching French women talk about food & style while we cook.  At least, this group did.  My roomie Eileen & I got to whip up these savory tarts & then bring home sweets to our cottage.  That's when I realized I was actually at camp.  At Camp!!.

hello, sweetness. I'm happy to know where to find cyber-you. You are so lovely.

Maya!! You went! I'm so, so very glad, but I wish I had been there with you. I saw someone that looked/felt like you in some of the photos, but it was confirmed on the blog post list. Yay! I look forward to catching up on your blog... missed you while you were away. xo maya

Hi Maya! Yes, I went, & I should have mentioned it to you. SAW has gotten so mythical that I just assumed I'd see you for some reason. Actually my cousin brought back a Maya-bird pencil case from the Philippines & I brought it for you. An excuse for snail-mail, then!! But I have every intention of heading back in the Spring, so maybe then. xo, Maya

aloha, lovely britt. i'm so loving those little ones on your blog. and i really, really need to pick up one of your pieces as an example - creating beauty in the midst of it all! each one feels so different from the rest, it's moving. i think of you a bit, every day. xo, maya

[maya]

yes, jen, hopefully in the spring we'll get to meet at the airport before hand! then we can spend the rest of the time smiling at each other again. xo, m

[maya]

oh thea, that means so much to coming from you. and even more so since i know you have absolutely no time to be reading or commenting on folks' blogs! mahalo, sweet mama, m

christine - oh, i hope it's okay!! i just think that is such a gorgeous picture of you, all glowy & filled with that angel-light from the baby. but i guess it would be pretty funny from your perspective. but i would expect no less from the student of life that you are, soaking it all in fully & deeply! hugs for you + b!
