Yummy Udi’s

This was a recent photo shoot for Udi’s Foods, which is a local Denver food company. They are a family owned company who has their gluten free products all throughout the US. These are for their Denver catering business and new website that will be launching in mid-August. Beth Hawkins did the food styling for the shoot and as always did a phenomenal job. We had 5 days of shooting, but I liked these 3 images in particular for their warmth and overall style.

Even when shooting food, architecture, or product photography I try to give the entire shoot a Lifestyle look and feel. I think it helps the images if they feel like they have a life and a story behind them, even if it’s not people I’m shooting. These images are great examples of that.

Overall this shoot was a lot of fun! We had an amazing team working on the entire shoot and the client couldn’t have been better to work with. It’s always a pleasure to work with such positive, creative people. I’m excited for our next set of shoots with them.

Cereal for breakfast

This was just a fun shoot I did of a little girl enjoying her cereal in the morning. I was drawn to the old 50’s style setting and colors. I really liked the natural outcome of the images.  No fluff, just reality.  I was just playing around, but I thought I’d include them here. That’s what a blog is for, right?

Top Chef winner

I was asked to photograph a food review at Jax Fish House restaurant in Boulder, Colorado.  The chef there, Hosea Rosenberg, won last years Top Chef competition on Bravo TV.  This is a huge accomplishment, and we should be proud to have this food expert as a local of Colorado.

So, I photographed a couple of their food dishes along with a portrait of Hosea.  Here are the results.

By the way, if you haven’t eaten at Jax, I highly recommend it.  It’s one of my favorite restaurants in Denver, and they also have this location in Boulder.  Fantastic!!

Cafe Architecture photos

A restaurant, 212 Cafe, in Denver, Colorado needed photos of their architecture for their advertising.  They recently updated their decor by adding a community table through the middle of the space.  They wanted to accent this table as one of the main highlights.

I took some architecture photographs of the entire restaurant, the entry, and a few accenting their main selling points including the computer friendly table and the bakery.

It was challenging, since we shot a few of the photos while they were still open for business, but sometimes that just what you have to do as a photographer.  People were understanding, and we made it work.  I think the vibrant colors of the place, really make for warm and cozy photographs.

Here are a couple of the overall shots of the place.
