The lighting in my kitchen is not too great for taking photos…it’s a bit shadowy on my countertops.

So here’s s little “behind-the-scenes” secret….often I put the food on the kitchen floor (or the bathroom counter, etc.) to get a better shot.

Chad gets a bit of a “kick” out of this, so he decided to spy on me with his video camera during one of my recent “photo shoots” (during which I was capturing the  pic to the right for another blog post).

Things just aren’t always as glamorous as they seem. LOL! So if you’re under the impression that I have studio lights, tripods and mounted cameras in my kitchen, you may want to check out the video below….I was taking a pic of this plate on the floor with my phone 🙂  (Please pardon Chad’s “chomping” noises. As is typical in our household, he was chowing down on his dinner while I was spending 5 minutes taking pictures of mine while it gets cold. LOL!)
