Aside from the amazing food, the bar program at Canard is really top notch, with a killer happy hour starting at 4 every day.
Make sure to order the aptly named "Breakfast of Champions"... a gin martini with a single oyster.
Spring had sprung at Q
If you haven't checked out Q Restaurant and Bar, the reincarnation of the Portland institution Veritable Quandary, do yourself a favor. As you can probably see from the following shots, you definitely won't be sorry.
from the ashes, rises Seasoned Portland
A good friend started a great personal chef business in town, but recently had to move away. She very generously passed on her business to her Right-Hand Woman, and Seasoned Portland was born.
I spent an incredibly fun day in the studio with Kristen Koziara, the new Chef and owner, and if these first dishes are any indication, she is going to go far. If you are in the market, please check out her site.
my Luckiest client
One of the best parts of my job is working with smaller 'mom and pop' businesses and watching them grow. I have been working with Lucky Foods ... which could more accurately be described as a 'mom and son' business for many years now, and have had the pleasure of watching them really blow up.
We recently did a new style studio shoot, using some of their sauces and kimchi as parts of broader recipes. Much more to come soon...
Imaginary Authors and the Tales that they Tell
I never thought I'd be so proud to say I wear perfume! But then I had the amazing opportunity to team up with the two wildly talented and creative gents behind Imaginary Authors Perfume.
Six of their fragrances were headed to the European market, so we worked together in the studio to create tableaus that visually encapsulated the story behind each scent. It was a really rare opportunity to create a picture that could express not only a fragrance, but also the tale it told.
New work for Poached Jobs Inc.
For my latest shoot with Poached Jobs, (one of my absolute favorite local clients) we took over the front of Clyde Common for a morning.
I have shot at this location many times over the years and it still stands as some of the best natural light you can find in a Portland restaurant. This shoot was strictly FOH (Front of the House). BOH (figure it out) will be up in a week or so.
It ain't quite Breakfast and it ain't quite Lunch...
As part of my recent collaboration with the Woodsman Tavern, I spent a Saturday morning capturing the bangin' brunch that they offer every weekend. SO... go have a bloody Mary and get down with some eggs benny!
Greetings from Joseph, OR
Meredith and I had been talking about a Joseph trip for almost 2 years and we finally made the trek. Its an absolutely beautiful part of far Eastern Oregon, right at the base of the Wallowa Mountains. I decided turn part of the trip into a little impromptu Union Wine Co. shoot in the Jennings Hotel.
....and a rare appearance of the photographer on the wrong side of the lens.
