Gratituesday Time! {Sacramento Food Photographer, Roseville Food Photographer, Rocklin Food Photographer}

Well, my job has some fun perks! So, this Gratatuesday I am thankful for some special and delicious food that we were blessed with! Johnny and I headed out to Grass Valley to take some advertizing shots for the Nevada County Gold Magazine last Thursday afternoon. I had nine appointments to take photos of local businesses. Johnny and I went from one place to another and had such a nice time getting to know the restaurant owners! But the perk that I am talking about is the wonderful food that they would gift us with. Below are three dishes that we were given to enjoy that day after photographing them for the magazine. The Thai meal that we were blessed with from Taste of Thai, we took to a park and ate out in the warm sunshine together. Mind you, this was the park were we walked to after our first official date together…special! The shrimp and pasta was from 5 Mile House…we enjoyed it there while listening to a local artist, Paul Kamm play his guitar and sing beautifully…I bought a CD of his music. And the beautiful salad and pita bread from Cirinos that we had to take home on ice…as we were just too full to eat a thing more! Johnny and I had such a fun day together…I will remember it for a long time! I am grateful for my amazing husband and the delicious food that we were so graciously given!

SacramentKCRA Morning News {o Fashion Photographer, Sacramento Photographer}

Last week I had an opportunity to photograph Chef Athena Palombi Mackis at KCRA. She did a wonderful cooking demonstration on the morning news. Notice the of photos of her getting ready in the “Green Room”…you always hear about that room, but never really know if it is green or not…not. Also, that morning there were children from Thomas Jefferson Middle School of Roseville on a field trip, they had some fun of their own!

East Bay Restaurant Supply Demonstration Event {Sacramento Food Photographer}

If you have never been to East Bay Restaurant Supply in Sacramento you might just consider going there! I grant you, that I am no chef…but they have some really beautiful things there and they have cooking classes and demonstrations that you (and I) can go and learn how to become great chefs!
A couple of weeks ago I met with my Little Starlet Athena, and took some beautiful modeling shots of her in the isles of that store. I was not able to stay for her cooking demonstration…but wish that I could have as her food is soooo amazing! (Photos of that shoot to come soon!)
While I was there I was able to sample some of the other food and photograph a bit of the event. There was a roasted pig outside…um…I hear it tasted wonderful…but after seeing it I up close and personal I choose to pass.
There were some darling little girls that I could not resist getting a photo or two of and some very friendly vendors.
One vendor that I met that I really enjoyed talking with was Cammie Winston. Cammie makes some of the very best little salted caramel macaroons that I have ever tasted! I learned that she also does Voiceovers…I checked out her website and she sounds so crazy professional! She is starting a baking business and I wish her the very best! I have posted a picture or two of her and her cookies and bread. And last but not least I was way impressed with Connie’s Ships and Trips Travel business cards, so much so that I had to take a photo of then…they are darling!
