Recently I went to the Red Iguana to shoot some pics for Utah Business Magazine. Red Iguana had won a people’s choice award.
They had scheduled the shoot for around 8am, on location. I was a little nervous because I generally have a slightly nauseated tummy in the mornings (no, I’m not pregnant, LOL). Seemed like smelling mexican food first thing in the morning would have the possibility of making my tummy SUPER nauseated. I was worried about being able to capture how delicious the food looks if I was nauseated looking at it. However, Lucy, the director of operations and her manager were super sweet to me. They mixed me up an herbal mint tea to soothe my tummy which really helped.
The food was really beautiful (& delicious, I’m sure) & Red Iguana is such a fun restaurant to go to. In hindsight, I wish I would have taken the food outside for much better natural lighting. We were shooting near a big window, but that early in the morning it just wasn’t warm enough for what I usually like. Regardless, the pics turned out pretty decent, I think.
What kind of food makes you a little queasy in the morning?

Anything with tuna in it makes me queasy along with anything non-breakfasty like leftovers from the night before. Eeew!
