La Posta has been creating some delicious Italian food in the Seabright neighborhood of Santa Cruz for a few years now. The chef is a little camera-shy, but is clearly proud of the food her kitchen is producing. Their pizzas are amazing, and I can’t wait to bring home some of their french bread loaves that […]

Lillian’s Italian Kitchen is one of those rare gems of a restaurant – family-owned, immensely popular, and probably benefitting from never really growing bigger. The restaurant itself is really small, really only enough room for maybe 25 people at a time. So it’s not unusual to show up and see a crowd of people outside […]

Bantam is a relatively new restaurant on Fair Ave. on the West side of Santa Cruz off Mission. It’s got a decidedly cool atmosphere with its distressed/recycled wood and artistic touches like the enormous airplane propeller-style fan. They’re known for their wood-fired pizzas which I was happy to photograph while I was there. Here’s a […]

Chef Mark at Soif cooked up some amazing-looking dishes for me this afternoon – the colors pop, the presentation is elevated, and the overall composition is clean and simply makes your mouth water.

Assembly is Kendra and Zachary’s latest restaurant opening, located in downtown Santa Cruz, right next to Kianti’s. The food is delicious, and the atmosphere is very natural, with lots of recycled wood contrasting with clean white surfaces. And of course, those antler chandeliers speak for themselves… Chef Carlo whipped up some of their specialty dishes […]

I took a few food photos at The Picnic Basket in Santa Cruz near the Boardwalk – it’s owned by the same people that run The Penny Ice Creamery and Assembly (both in Santa Cruz). All three locations have a focus on quality, organic food (and I might add taste), Definitely check it out if you’re in the […]

Mauro poses for me at the main entrance to his restaurant before I take photos of a few of his favorite dishes. I only spent a brief time at Main Street Garden Cafe in Soquel, but it was long enough to know I’ll definitely be back – with my appetite! Recent “Food Photography” Posts:

To say that Fraiche in Palo Alto is a frozen yogurt shop is a misnomer. Don’t get me wrong, their froyo is fantastic – the best I’ve ever had! But they have tons of other lunch-y fare that will leave your mouth watering. During the course of this shoot, I’m not ashamed to say I sampled as […]

Roy’s needed some new interiors highlighting the different layout options they have for (semi) private-dining parties, and since we’ve worked successfully in the past together, they chose me for yet another restaurant interior photo shoot! Since I was there, I went ahead and shot the whole restaurant (it’s amazing if you haven’t been there!). Mostly […]

OK, so it’s not “real” pizza dough, but it still takes some mad skills and coordination to work these things! Still photos don’t really do these guys and gals justice, though – you’ve gotta see them in action on Friday and Saturday nights!

Kianti’s knows how to treat and entertain their customers – especially the little ones! Harried parents are always delighted to see the smile on their toddler’s face once that hunk of pizza dough is plunked down on the table. The kids look up at mom, silently communicating “is this something I can play with?” A quick smile […]

I’ve been shooting at Le Papillon restaurant in San Jose for, gosh, many years. And while my skills have definitely improved in that time period, their food started out awesome (and continues to be so). Scott Cooper is such a creative chef, I love seeing what he comes up with. When we’re collaborating, it’s definitely […]
