bakery nouveau

A delicious shoot with one of the best bakeries in Seattle, Bakery Nouveau.

snaps from a recent cookbook shoot

A few months back, I had the pleasure of shooting a cookbook for a local company. The book focused on employee's favorite family recipes that ranged from simple comfort food to fancy and traditional holiday fare.

I worked with a couple different food stylists on this project: Julie Hopper and Patty Wittmann, who were awesome, as usual.
Due to the huge volume of recipes to be shot, my husband, Joe, and I did the food styling on about 30 recipes. This was a first for me and SO fun. That being said, I'm not giving up my food stylists any time soon! It's a ton of work!!

 

 

so....i was on television

Want to get a mini-glimpse of a food shoot? Here's me on local tv show, Evening Magazine last night, photographing salmon. :)

Thank you, Evening, for the feature! I am very honored.

pasta, 3 ways

I recently worked with a lovely student from Switzerland, who hired me to do a private workshop. She wanted to learn about styling, among other things. While I do not do my food styling for professional shoots, (I hire talented people for that), I DO do my own prop styling. I thought it would be fun for us to take the same food-- in this case, pasta-- and shoot it in 3 different styles. I liked the assignment so much, that I decided to do it myself, right along with her!

We spent some time looking at various websites and used specific sites as inspiration.
Can you tell which photographers influenced the shots below? :)
