Fall Comfort Food at the Black Forest Cafe

There are some exciting new things happening to the menu at The Black Forest Cafe for Fall 2016! I recently had the pleasure of photographing updated seasonal menu offerings which include fried chicken sliders, lettuce wraps, maple pumpkin pancakes, and crab mac and cheese. These images help the restaurant round out their social media feed, and provide updated photos for their website.

As always, these menu shoots are quick and easy and I was done in about 1 hour’s time. We utilize the natural light in their dining room in the morning before the restaurant is open. Chef Bruce brings out a selection of their new menu items that they wish to promote, and I shoot these beauties in a variety of angles and styles to give them lots of choice for their website, social media, and email newsletters.

Please contact me if your restaurant, cafe, or shop needs some updated professional photos for your marketing!

The Black Forest Cafe offers a number of freshly baked pastries in their Marketplace, which makes it easy to grab a coffee and breakfast to go. These new kolaches are a perfect breakfast on the run, and they come in bacon and spinach & feta.

Food Styling

Lastly, I took home the beautiful pear tart to photograph in my home studio. That way I could take my time with the styling and make sure everything was perfect. Pretty easy to do with such a gorgeous dessert to shoot!

Eating and Exploring in New England & Beyond

One thing you’ll always see on the table at a NC barbecue spot is a bottle of @texaspetesauces. If you don’t know, this is not a product from Texas but a North Carolina product. My whole life, I have never really seen anybody put anything on their bbq other than Texas Pete. 

Fun fact about me: in the 4th grade in Kernersville NC we had a guy from the Texas Pete family come to speak to my 4th grade class. This would have been 1987 or 88. Must have been great marketing, because I never forgot it. 

Lexington Barbecue is not even on IG as far as I can find but they are world famous and I’m glad I got to stop by last week. Shown here: Chopped bbq plate with red slaw, fries, and hushpuppies. #ncbbq #lexingtonbbq #texaspete #bbq #barbecue
