S.M.I.L.E. Recipe Book

In the summer of 2009, a local wellness and nutritional counselor contacted me to brand a new program called S.M.I.L.E. as well as photograph and design a recipe book she wrote.

The logo was designed to represent five major components in the healing program as well as give the feeling of connecting to oneself and the earth. One of the main goals of the program is to reestablish a connection to the food one consumes via mindful eating.

In creating the recipe book, we were launched together into a journey of long Saturdays where she would cook and I would photograph the delicious food. Highlighted below are some of my favorite shots from the recipes that we photographed. 60 of them made it into the final recipe book. The package consists of two parts, a guidebook on how to reclaim one’s connection to the healthful food he or she eats and recipe cards, laminated for durability and held together with a ring for easy removal.

The entire process was wonderful and my client changed my life and how I approach my own nutritional lifestyle. The book, published in 2010, can be purchased on the Healing Paths website: http://www.healingpathsva.com/Restorative_Recipes_1XLP.html. It makes a great gift!
