Delicious Dessert Photography for Wandering Zorba Bakery | Northern Virginia Photographer

I'm so excited to finally be able to share this great collaboration with everyone! I have been drooling -- literally -- over these dessert photos for a while, but had to wait a tick to officially share with y'all. A while back, I had the opportunity to work with Wandering Zorba Bakery to photograph their desserts as they worked to launch their company. John and his mom, Elvira, run Wandering Zorba as a "sweet" food cart in Northern Virginia. They focus on baking traditional Greek desserts using the family recipes that Elvira herself brought stateside as a young woman from Greece. In addition to using their own family recipes, John and Elvira use locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. 

A great plus of doing a food shoot is that when it's over, there are lots of yummy things to try...and try I did! From the deliciously flaky and nutty baklava to the luscious revani with just a hint of lemon, my taste buds were not disappointed. Trust me, their website and its tantalizing descriptions of each dessert will have your mouth watering in no time, and soon you'll be itching for your own taste of the Wandering Zorba's delightful desserts. If you're in the Northern Virginia area, I strongly urge you to check them out at your local farmer's market. You won't be disappointed!

Eastern Market

To get out and enjoy the gorgeous weather this weekend, some girlfriends and I went on an excursion to Eastern Market. We spent the afternoon exploring the vendor carts and just people watching (I even got a few smiles for the camera). I am a little embarrassed to say that despite how long I've lived in this awesome city, it was my first trip! I fell in LOVE with it, though, and I can't wait to go back once I have some space to decorate with all the cool antique furniture and great artwork from local artists. Plus, the food there is AH-MAZ-ING. If you have never been, I highly recommend checking it out!
