I waited so long to see this story and it finally arrived! I actually styled this shoot back in 2011 with photographer Kang Kim for the June 2012 Parent's Magazine. I used a palette of warm, fruity shades—reds, oranges and purples with an occasional pop of yellow—to contrast the neutral tones of the grain-infused meals. My linens and plates were a mix of solids and graphic polka dots and stripes to set a fun, kid-friendly tone. My favorite is the red dotted tissue paper from Container Store lining the vintage wire basket of Popcorn Chicken. Yum! Photography by Kang Kim. Prop Styling by Robin Zachary. Food Styling by Stephana Bottom.
