Pomegranate Season

Pommmmmmm

So pomegranate season is in full effect. At first I didn't think much of it until our mom gave us one to take home. Then I thought it would be fun to take some photos before we eat one. However, I couldn't just have one pomegranate, I needed two (with the kind of photo I was envisioning...). So I made a quick run to Trader Joe's to pick up another one.

Of all the at-home-studio shoots that I've done, not surprisingly, this ended up being the messiest! At the end of the session, it was just a white poster board with lots of pom. juice (which at first resembled blood).

Since most of these shoots occur in the patio, I hope my neighbors aren't worried at the sight of red-looking juice splattered everywhere.

Happy Sunday! We juiced all that was left of the pomegranates.

Do you like pomegranates? Do you eat them raw or juice them first? Mix them with other dishes too?

    1. Thanks, Jessica! :) It's almost cathartic to take the time and work on getting each one out and they're soo worth it at the end.

  9. Oh Tana I love pomegranates! I remember they were a very popular fruit for fall back in Iran. I recently watched a little video of how to have them without any mess, pretty cool. I'll find the link and send it to you!

    1. I was reading up on the origins of pomegranates and it was mentioned that is came from Iran! Did you live there as a kid? I used to think they came from India but I can see how it easily migrated over now. :)
