Still Grandmother’s pecan pie, just a little hipper.

Libbie’s Food Styling Props: Images of Latoya Rivers working the pie dough were shot on location at The Ford Plantation. The pie with a slice out was shot atop a 1950’s enamel top kitchen table borrowed from Amy Zurcher of shopSCAD. Old china in the background are pieces picked up at Lakewood Antiques Market in Atlanta, GA. Purple powder-coated flatware are the genius of designer Joel Snayd of Rethink Design Studio, and the velvet trimmed kitchen towel was purchased on One King’s Lane last year…don’t remember the designer, just loved it! The whole pie was shot atop a flowered cloth sewn by Katherine Sandoz and sitting on an old metal stool borrowed from the secret prop basement of shopSCAD.
