If she's decorating the day before, then (depending on how the decorating is done) it may look a bit stale. I recommend that you always shoot the food right when it's ready. Jonathan Hi Teri,

The key is to make sure that things look fresh. If she’s decorating the day before, then (depending on how the decorating is done) it may look a bit stale. I recommend that you always shoot the food right when it’s ready.

So any suggestions specific to that would be great. I believe she will be baking and decorating the day before, so the icing will sit overnight. Or there any pros or cons to this? I will def check out your wife's blog from home where I can access it. Thanks! Jonathan – In just a few week, I too will be shooting gourmet cupcakes for a homebased business.

Once you've really gotten the hang of shooting at that focal length, I'd get something in the 24-105mm range; I shoot with a 17-55mm lens for most food and it works perfectly.

Will try to apply your thought when I try this kind of photography. By the way, what kind of lens would you recommend when doing food photography, not that I have any other lens other than my kit lens, I just wanted to know. Cheers! Wonderful article!
