Feasting, Fun and Closing Out 2011 in Style
As 2011 comes to a close, food, tasty beverages and fun are on my mind — and I’m sure they are on yours, too. That’s why I chose to showcase local food blogger Kristen Mastre of Feasting Fort Collins and one of my favorite local restaurants, Austin’s American Grill in Old Town, for a year-end post. I covered the shoot for the November issue of Lydia’s Style Magazine, and it was great collaborating with these awesome local businesses.
To kick things off, the chef at Austin’s put together a great spread of beautiful, colorful food plates and beverages to serve as tasty props for the shoot. Kristen was fun and so easy to work with, and as a food blogger, felt right at home in a restaurant setting. Austin’s also gave us free range to shoot anywhere within the restaurant space, so we could be creative and try whatever we needed to make it work.
Best part of the shoot by far was the amazing level of seamless collaboration. In just one assignment I was able to work with three separate, awesome Fort Collins-based businesses, AND have fun while doing it.
Thanks to all the clients who worked with me in 2011, and here’s to an amazing 2012 for all of us!
