Katie Newburn, a food photographer born and raised in the Napa Valley. She started her love for food photography when she was 16 working at a restaurant. She engaged herself with chefs, farmers, and wine makers. She had a passion to photograph meals and foods. As she grew older she helped market food for chefs and their cook books.

I liked her style because she uses macro, and really places her food in a way that makes it look appealing. Also I really like her simple-ness in the pictures and its nice lighting. For mine I wanted to use color and have a christmas theme. I think props really help define the picture and I felt as if without the sprinkles the cookies were too plain.
