Due to a giant server malfunction/meltdown/collapse/etc., I’ve lost my last few blog posts that showed what I’ve been up to for the last couple years   So…I think it’s time for an update!  Here’s a bit of the work that I’ve been doing lately – some fun projects, challenging projects, delicious projects, and there’s more to come this summer.

First up, I had another cover with Seattle Met Magazine – there was a great concept for the cover and opening spread, and I enlisted the talents of the wonderful Julie Hopper to help me execute the magazine’s vision.  She did an amazing job tweaking and re-tweaking each little piece of food that made up these letters until we had it just right.

I also did another fun little shoot with MORA Ice Cream for a Martha Stewart Weddings article.  The piece talked about serving milkshakes as a unique refreshing treat for guests at summer weddings, and they featured artisanal ice cream shops from around the US, including MORA – yay for MORA!!  A nice surprise after seeing the photo on their website was that they chose our photo as the one to link to the article on their Instagram page, I thought that was pretty neat

An update on past work, the photos I did for Stopsky’s are now up on their website – they’ve just added preserves to their lineup of delicious products and we did some shots for those this past week, so hopefully you’ll be seeing those hit the website soon.

And last but not least, the smoothie book I shot last year is finally out!!

Enjoy!!

I’ve been waiting until everything was up online to post about this one – and I think it’s finally all there and ready for viewing!

I’m so excited about this issue, it was probably one of the more fun assignments I’ve done since starting with the magazine…and also one of the busiest.  I spent a week going to some of Seattle’s most delicious breakfast spots and shooting their standout dishes.  A few are Seattle classics, like Volunteer Park Cafe, and others are new spots, like the just recently opened Cafe Cesura in Bellevue (they have amazing breakfast sandwiches! worth the trip across 520).  At each place, everyone I met and worked with was excited to shoot and really friendly and genuine…I think it’s the breakfast spirit, it’s hard not to be happy when the smell of bacon is in the air :).  Getting to try out most of this food was a nice bonus too – it made for one tasty and very filling week!  Click on the photos below to see the different articles online. (and check out the issue in stores to see my cover photo in person!)

I also got to spend a day at Melrose Market shooting photos for the Dining Out section.  I love this market.  There are so many great places to eat, little retailers, and lots of pretty architectural details to ooh and aahh over.  The highlight of the day was getting to shoot at Lil’ Woody’s, my favorite burger place in Seattle!!  If you haven’t been there yet, you should go.  Enjoy!!
