sambuca {commercial}

i’ve had the honor to photograph the food for sambuca and sambuca 360 again. i love these types of shoots. such a different take on photography, it amazes me how differently you have to approach food photography. it really challenges me in a whole different way than portraits do. i love it! and i love that sambuca wants different photos- not photos that they see everywhere else.

erin paige boyle was the food stylist for this shoot, she does amazing work. this girl has got some yummy food tricks up her sleeves for sure.

if you guys haven’t been to sambuca uptown, or sambuca 360 you need to go. they have amazing food, and both have a great atmosphere!
