As a mother of 3 I worry about what my kids eat. I buy tons of fresh fruits for snack, and is definitely always better for them to eat a nectarine, a banana, cherries or strawberries rather than eat junk food. Having said that, I always have tons of inspiration in my own kitchen and whenever possible I buy fruits that I’ve never tried before. The light that enters through the window in my kitchen creates the perfect atmosphere and gives that mood to anything sitting in my countertop. I just bought nectarines and the perfect opportunity to take pictures presented itself. The perfect light for a luscious fruit.
