Yummy | Sacramento Product Photography

Okay, so this is a little off-topic, but when it comes to yummy food, I break all the rules. I was recently doing some food photography for a local restaurant - The Art of Food.  They are an all raw and vegan restaurant in north Sacramento and their food is TO. DIE. FOR. 

The Restaurant - 1825 Del Paso Blvd., Sacramento

Apple Crepe

 

"Spaghetti" and "Meatballs"

 

The best non-dairy ice cream I've ever tasted (no dairy, no refined sugar -- only raw ingredients)

Pomegranate Cheesecake

And then a funny thing happened - a reporter from the Sac Bee showed up to take pictures of the place and I ended up with my mug in the article - check it out.

Pilates!

I'm not able to share all of my commercial photography jobs with you, but I do like to show you projects that involve children or pregnant mommies.

Recently, I worked with Kelly Sassman, the owner of a beautiful pilates studio in the Arden Town Center that offers a large variety of services, including pre/post natal pilates, as well as classes for a parent and child who want to do pilates together. If you'd like to visit her website, it is at www.bodybasicsstudio.com. See below for a few screen shots of images that we created for her site.

What a sweet group of people -- Kelly and her staff are just lovely and if you're looking for a place to burn some calories and get in amazing shape, check this place out.

Book Cover -- Sneak Peak

A sneak peek at some fun commercial work I did for a book cover on sports parenting the high-school athlete.  If you're interested in finding out more about this book for you and your kids, let me know and I'll put you in touch with the creators.

Our good-looking and obliging models...

They were just great.  Thanks, guys!
