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!!

New work!

Sebastian and the roasting crew at Seattle Coffee Works were kind enough to let me come into the cafe and roastery last Friday to take shots of the roasting process and the cafe. It was so much fun getting to know the people there and talk to the women in the roastery about what they do. Everyone was extremely helpful and even made me an extra latte just to take photos of! It was great practice for me to get out of the studio (or the living room I call my studio) and shoot on location with natural light. There are a whole different set of challenges when shooting on location and I’m getting more and more comfortable with the process.

Thanks again guys!
