Left of Center Photography is simple, relaxed, fun photography that captures clients being themselves. The studio comes to you so that your photos are in the places that are part of your memories.
I got an email from the crew over at Spice of Life Catering asking me if I’d like to bring Lori out for dinner and shoot their last Plated Landscapes event of the season. They had me at dinner.
The event was back at the Mackenzie Creamery in Hiram. Jean makes fantastic goat cheese and just won a first place award for one of her creations.
Hard to believe, it was just about a year ago that I met Jess, Ben and Brandon at Mackenzie Creamery to shoot with them for the first time. If you click over to their website, most of the images are from that dinner and were taken by yours truly!
Greeted by a happy chicken. Happy because she wasn’t on the menu!
Seem like just yesterday that I was taking newborn portraits of baby Addyson. Actually, it was only about a month ago! This past weekend her family invited me to photograph the celebration of her Baptism.
Congratulations to Papa Phil, Mama Evelyn and Addyson’s proud big sisters!
Last month Lori and I got a night away and went to eat with the fine folks from Spice of Life Caterers at one of their Plated Landscape events. The food was fantastic. The hosts were fantastic. Ben, Brandon, Jess and the crew ooze cool. I think they cook with it like it’s umami.
Last night I got to go behind the scenes and get all photojournalistic while covering their Urban Landscape dinner that was held at the Cleveland Botanical Garden’s Urban Farm on East 66th Street. If you don’t think you can farm on your little backyard in the ‘burbs, you should stop down and check out what these guys are doing in the middle of Cleveland! A really nice garden that provided a lot of the vegetables we ate last night.
Well, summer vacation has come to an end in these parts and the kids headed back to school this morning. I, on the other hand, took a vacation day so that I could have the house all to myself!
Tomorrow morning I’ll be getting up early to head down and volunteer with United Cerebral Palsy of Cleveland. This will be the second year that I’ll be shooting the event for them. I have to say, it’s really amazing to see how UCP helps these families and to see what these young children and their parents, families, and friends are capable of achieving!
Here is a video that was put together by UCP about the event. If you’re looking for something to do tomorrow morning, I’d say you should head downtown and cheer these families, and all the participants on!
