In episode 717, Megan chats to Shawna Clark about how to tell a story through food photography using simple yet impactful prop styling techniques.

Healthy Foodie Girl, We are a mother-daughter duo passionate about creating healthy recipes that are full of flavor and easy to make. We believe that eating well should be delicious and effortless. Together, they share lightened-up versions of favorite dishes, using fresh ingredients and simple techniques. Their goal is to inspire others to enjoy a balanced, flavorful approach to healthy eating.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to elevate your food photography with thoughtful props that add emotion, texture, and interest. Shawna explains how to style with intention—even if you're just starting out

Key points discussed include:

- Props tell a story: Use props to create mood, emotion, and visual interest that complements the food.

- Start simple: Matte plates, smaller sizes, and herbs go a long way in making your photos more appealing.

- Use what you have: Ingredients from the recipe can be great props—parsley, citrus, grains, etc.

- Add texture and layering: Linens, vintage silverware, and wood add warmth and dimension to your scenes.

- Think outside the box: Shawna shares how she uses wrapping paper, fabric, and even custom pottery in her shoots.

- Plan around timing: For time-sensitive food like ice cream, prep your scene ahead of styling.

- Create with intention: Take test photos, make adjustments, and let the photo evolve as you shoot.

- Vintage and handmade props add depth: Seek out one-of-a-kind items from thrift stores, flea markets, or eBay to spark nostalgia and emotional connection.
