Joe Sent Me, a Restaurant Session: I Like Mine With Lettuce & Tomato
I have two words for you: fried pickles. They are one of my favorite things on the Joe Sent Me menu. I have been eating them since I first set foot in the Waltham location way back when I was 21. In fact, that’s where I celebrated my 21st birthday. And, before I moved to…
Read MoreCambridge Restaurant Photography, The Sinclair: When We All Come Together
When I can, I still photograph food. I love it! I love working with the restaurants and the chefs. Not too long ago I had the pleasure of working with The Sinclair in Cambridge. It has become one of my favorite concert venues around town, but they also have a restaurant that serves up delicious…
Read MoreRavioli Day, A Family Tradition: Never Had To Have A Chaperone
My mind and heart are full with all of the different ways I could approach writing a blog post about Ravioli Day. I’ll probably try to cover all of them, so bear with me! For as long as I can remember, Ravioli Day was a huge part of our family’s Christmas tradition. My mother and…
Read MoreA Tavola Wedding, Robin & Derek: Fill the World With Silly Love Songs
When Robin first reached out to me about photographing her and Derek’s wedding, I absolutely fell in love with everything about it immediately. It combined two of my favorite things – weddings and food. And, to add a third awesome thing to the mix, it was all happening in my hometown! Score! Robin and Derek…
Read MoreFood Photography, Nourish: Won’t You Take Me Out Tonight?
Nourish was one of the restaurants I photographed early on in my Boston Homegrown adventure. It’s this great restaurant nestled right in the heart of Lexington Center. I went back this past January to photograph some more of their dishes. Their motto is “Responsibly Sourced, Respectfully Priced” – if you live in the area, they…
Read Morethe itty bitty bake shop: Call It Impulsive
So, maybe instead of wedding cake or wedding cupcakes or even an ice cream sundae buffet, you want pies! But to keep the runny fruit to a minimum, you want individual-sized pies. Mini pies, if you will. Enter the itty bitty bake shop. You won’t see pies on their website (yet), but one of the…

I want to reach through the computer screen and eat this strawberry. That’s how delicious it looks.
Read MoreIced, A Cookie Company: Stop! Collaborate and Listen!
I can trace my photography business back to a handful of people who took a chance on me when I was first starting out. All of them are still around, year after year, and I’ve watched their children grow. Ilene is one of those people. I photographed her son when he was only about six…
Read MoreBoston Homegrown: Feeling Like A Little Kid
Once upon a time there were two cousins who occasionally played dress-up together and who had a grandmother kind of like Julia Child. Many years later, they collaborated on a cookbook together and lived to tell the tale! You’ll have to bear with me as I indulge in a little shameless self-promotion (although let’s…
Read MoreL’Espalier: Happiness Steps Up To Greet Me
A daily dose of food photography! These were taken at L’Espalier in downtown Boston as part of the Boston Homegrown cookbook. Chef McLelland , in addition to running L’Espalier, also runs Apple Street Farm (check out their various CSA programs!). I photographed Chef McLelland first at the farm, and then probably a year later at…
