ladies who brunch

On Saturday, I got up bright and early and headed to my first Birmingham Bloggers meet up at The Nest Birmingham! We partook in an instagram workshop by food photographer, Rachel Johnson. Rachel is an amazing chef who has a beautiful eye for food photography. She gave us some awesome tips on photographing food and other products.

The nest was an amazing space that can hold up to 75 people and is located in Historic Avondale. It has an amazing rustic, yet chic vibe. On one side, the walls were exposed concrete and the other side was a simple white wall. The ceiling was draped with cafe lighting. The most amazing part of The Nest was the incredible natural light that engulfed the room.

I am so lucky to have been accepted to this blogging society. Thank you to Birmingham Bloggers for this amazing brunch. I can’t wait until our January meet up! Enjoy the photos from the event!
