Morimoto Napa - San Francisco Magazine

Had so much fun shooting at MORIMOTO in Napa, CA!

Chef Masaharu Morimoto, known to many as star of Iron Chef and Iron Chef America, has recently opened a West Coast location in downtown Napa. It's such an amazingly designed location and the menu is tasty & quite varied. There were so many great things to capture, it was hard to stop shooting! 

..(which made the editing tricky.. too much good stuff!)

My photo editor at the magazine agreed......"What a beautiful shoot—it was hard to choose!!!!" ~ Ellen

Here are a few of my favorite out takes:

I'm now Represented by WONDERFUL MACHINE! Excited to collaborate on new ventures!

SF Mag : Eats Review - Osteria Stellina, Point Reyes, CA

Osteria Stellina - Up in Point Reyes, CA...
Amazing food, and a stellar reminder of what Real food is.
I lived on a farm as a youngster, and this place reminds me so much of my childhood meals... fresh from the field, newly made cheese, & creative seasonal combinations - well worth the drive for both the food & the natural beauty of the rugged coastline here.
