Overwhelmed at the idea of creating recipes for your food blog or social? It can certainly be messy and time-consuming…

I’m here to save the day.

  • I have entrusted our sponsored content for Healthy Aperature to Gretchen from Day 1 because of her unmatched talent as an RD who has both professional training and experience in food photography and an eye for making food the centerpiece of any campaign. Plus, she's just a darn lovely person and a pleasure to work with.

  • Whether I come to Gretchen with a fully formed idea or just a vague notion for a recipe, she not only refines it until it's much better than what I'd started with, but she also carries that through to creation. Her photos are stunning -- crisp and well-lit and wonderfully styled -- but still keep a little bit of whimsy and fun. I always want to jump through the screen and eat what she's made!

Breathing a sweet, grateful, and life-giving sigh Breathing a sweet, grateful, and life-giving sigh that we made it through a whole semester of in-person school for my three kiddos.
•
Such effort, time, prayer, and intention went into that semester by teachers, administrators, parents and kiddos.
•
Thankful for a much earned Christmas break. And a time to celebrate the birth of the One who holds it all together.
•
And grateful too to escape for a minute into a grain-free Gingerbread Green House construction. If this is how you decompress too, then I see you!
