Indulging in the captivating beauty of this Roasted Beet salad from @shipwrightsdaughter in Mystic! 🌿🍽️ Our lenses captured this culinary masterpiece during the “Food Photography Masterclass” at the fabulous @shipwrightsdaughter as part of the @lensandlightevents summit last week. The salad’s presentation is an art form, tempting me to dive in, but my focus had to be on teaching, not eating😁. I usually love to tell my food stories by including a few elements that support the hero in the frame. Here, I aimed to spotlight just the salad, drawing undivided attention to its vibrant beet colors and the luscious coconut sugar yogurt adorned with a generous sprinkle of pistachio dukkah! I’ll definitely be returning to the restaurant soon, solely to taste this exquisite delight! #FoodPhotography #SaladArtistry #ShipwrightsDaughterExperience #LensAndLightevents #NaturalLightPhotography #RestaurantPhotography #ctrestaurants

Instagram has led many of us to fear that photography is on its way to extinction. However, @lensandlightevents in contrast, hosted a conference dedicated to photography last week, compelling us to visualize the timeless grandeur that photography holds. The event brought together a vibrant ballroom filled with creatives deeply immersed in the art of photography, that weave breathtaking magic every single day. I am deeply honored and grateful for the opportunity to have been part of this extraordinary event. Being surrounded by supremely talented individuals, each exuding top-notch creativity and extraordinary passion, was truly invigorating. 📸 The showcased images here were captured during the ‘Food & Beverage Photography Masterclass’, a collaboration between @rggphoto and myself, hosted at the stunning @shipwrightsdaughter restaurant. Amidst a full house of enthusiastic and engaging participants, Rob and I found ourselves immersed in one of the most gratifying teaching experiences of our careers. @withloveandoats and @photography.stiles , THANK YOU 🙏🏻!! DM me, if you'd like to know more about this workshop.

Chai & Aloo Tikki With Friends ☕️ 🍂 What a weekend it was, packed with loads of learning and tons of fantastic ideas! There’s something truly magical about female friendships, isn’t there? Meera, Preethi, and I have been connected on this platform for some time now. Lately, we’ve been chatting more often and finally decided, “Hey, let’s meet face-to-face!” So we worked with Nanak to host a fabulous evening filled with chai, and scrumptious aloo tikki. All three of us have a long-standing relationship with this brand, and we genuinely trust their quality. Plus, what better way to round off an evening than with some delectable, crispy aloo tikkis, right? . . Content creation and owning a creative business can often be a lonely road. It is wonderful to find powerful women in this space to connect. I feel so fortunate. This reel right here, it’s the fruit of our collaboration, a testament to what can happen when three foodie gals join forces over a mutual love for food and photography. I mean, it was super fun to learn from one another and experiment in a setting that was new for all of us. This mini-retreat was our little window to connect, create, and collaborate, and boy, did it turn out perfect! #foodphotographer #foodstyling #foodcontentcreator #creativebusinesstips #creativeretreat #foodphotographyandstyling #creatorbusiness #monetizeyourbrand #creativebusiness #videoskills #brandpartnerships #contentcreators #digitalcontent

Here’s my last post in the Modak series, everyone. These are images that show you, every step of shaping modaks, by hand. Shaping Modaks has been a favorite thing to do, since my childhood. The ones my mom made, were always so beautiful and perfect. She was so fast in making them, as well. The ones I make resemble hers, but I still have a long way to go, to get to her perfection. Both her and I, love shaping them with our hands, without using any moulds. My goal, is to make them like how the Maharashtrians do. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, check out the following bloggers and their Modak posts. They’ll make your jaws drop.

Like me, are you one of those, that went by Google and thought Tue, Sep 19th was Ganesh Chathurthi? If I weren’t on Instagram, I wouldn’t have known that the big day is today. Well, for us living outside of India, it doesn’t really matter. We don’t have holidays for any of our festivals and it is typical to observe/celebrate these special occasions mostly during weekends. The very loving and forgiving Bappa, wouldn’t mind that, right? What do you think? Everyone that celebrated Bappa today, hope you had a good one. The rest that’s celebrating later, have a blessed and beautiful celebration. Make sure Modak is on your menu! Here’s part #2 of the Modak Series. #meeraseetharaman #ganeshchathurthi #modak #indianfestival #coconuts #jaggery #stilllife #festivalrecipe #raw #organic #homemade #recipedeveloper #recipedevelopment #foodphotography #foodstyling #foodphotographer #ctfoodphotographer #newenglandfoodphotographer #madewithlightroom #foodandwine #canonusa #profoto @canonusa @profoto @andrewpearcebowls @patelbrothers

Everyone’s well into their preparations for Ganesh Chathurthi. My Instagram feed has been inundated with tons of festival recipes, since more than a week. And, look at me 🐌! All I’ve done so far is, breaking coconuts and grating jaggery. I’m kidding. I’ve been working on a Modak series for y’all. Here’s the first set of images, stay tuned for more. I’m sure you’ll love them. How are your preps coming along? #meeraseetharaman #ganeshchathurthi #modak #indianfestival #coconuts #jaggery #stilllife #festivalrecipe #raw #organic #freshproduce #farmfresh #recipedeveloper #recipedevelopment #foodphotography #foodstyling #foodphotographer #ctfoodphotographer #newenglandfoodphotographer #madewithlightroom #foodandwine #canonusa #profoto

Tomato, basil and garlic - the awesome threesome! I have good experience growing different kinds of tomatoes and basil. The ones in the frame are all my own beautiful babies. I’ve never tried growing garlic, but, I’m going to, starting this fall. I got access to some really good organic farm fresh garlic bulbs, that’ll go into vegetable beds in the next couple of months. Let’s see how they do. I’ll make sure to let you guys know. Happy (almost) weekend, everyone! #meeraseetharaman #stilllife #tomato #garlic #basil #vegetables #raw #homegrown #organic #freshproduce #farmfresh #eatlocal #recipedeveloper #recipedevelopment #foodphotography #foodstyling #foodphotographer #ctfoodphotographer #newenglandfoodphotographer #madewithlightroom #foodandwine #canonusa #profoto @cblbackdrops @filippoberio_us @profoto @canonusa @lightroom @adobe
