It’s pretty apparent that I love photography. I mean, I am a Dallas commercial photographer by trade to pay the bills, but I do genuinely love being able to create with a camera. I have other loves as well though, and being a foodie is probably a close second to photography. I really love food. I credit a food editor that I worked with several years ago, as we shot recipes every month for publication, and I learned so much about cooking, but more than anything, I learned to fall in love with it.

If you don’t know this about me by now, take heed: I am a major foodie. That’s not always the best thing to really, really love food, but when it comes to being a Dallas commercial photographer who shoots food, it’s a perfect union. I mean, if you don’t love food, how are you going to be motivated to make it look as tantalizing as possible for the client? Plus this passion gives me the excuse to try all kinds of great stuff. Enter the shoot for Toro Toro, which opened a location at the Fort Worth Renaissance Worthington Hotel last fall.
