a little recap of the 2013 farm to table workshop

It's always so hard to write about my multi-day workshops after they end. Each group of students is so different and the class dynamic is always unique. This recent Farm to Table workshop was no exception.  Eleven women attended the 3-day event on Whidbey and all of them were, quite simply, AWESOME.

We visited and photographed 2 farms-- Willowood (which I wrote about here and here) and Little Brown, where the farm animals and students did some serious bonding, (photos below to prove it.) We also spent time at the Bayview Farmers Market, played with props, photographed a lot of produce and cheese, drank a good amount of wine, ate a lot of delicious food (thank you Sean, Joe, and Christine) and spent a fair amount of time laughing. It rocked.



Thank you to EVERYONE for helping to create such a magical weekend! Sending huge hugs to all of you. xo

malts & milkshakes is on the shelves!

For some reason, I was completely in the dark about the fact that Malts & Milkshakes (St. Martin's Press) hit the shelves last month!

This was such a sinfully delicious book to shoot! The author, Autumn Martin, is a goddess when it comes to all things sweet, tempting and decadent. Just check out her insanely good caramel sauce and take home molten chocolate cakes. Or go to her cute dessert shop in Ballard and see for yourself. :)

exciting giveaway!!

I've been in a giving mood lately, inspired by things like this article, and I have a very fun announcement!

Since I still have some spaces left in my 3-day Farm to Table photography workshop that's taking place on Whidbey Island in 3 weeks, (May 23-26), I want to give away ONE spot to a person that really wants to attend but just cannot financially swing it right now. All I ask is that you make sure you can definitely attend before entering your name.

How to enter: Send me an email (clare at clarebarboza dot com) and tell me why you want to be there.

I will be picking a winner this Friday by 5pm PST.

Good luck!
