food & photography

in the world of high end catering,  food photos are extremely important.  unlike restaurants, people looking for caterers almost always want to see a website and photos of past events.  which is one reason why i take my own photos when we have an event.  i dont want to pay someone to come and shoot the food unless it is a bigtime event that calls for a professional, which i am surely not.  but i do take a good picture. especially close ups which are my favorite. theres something about a good, vivid, close up of particular foods that makes my mouth water.  so, here are some of my favorite food shots ive taken over our first year in business.
