Do you hear that sound? 

That grumbling sound? 
Yeah, that’s my stomach. Grumbling. As I edit these yummy looking photos of delicious and tasty goodies …

Earlier this week, I had the honor to photograph a catered event by Whitfield Farms. They are currently redoing their website and the lovely Bethany Lee from Focus on Media hired Gigi Photography to shoot some images for the new site. First off, if you have a party that needs catering, or if you are just like me and you burn microwave popcorn on a consistent basis, wow, well, you NEED to look up Whitfield Farms – mmmmmm, man. Amazing job and such fine details. Makes me want to throw a house party. Maybe. If it came with a housecleaner, as well. 

And if you are looking for some website design, make sure you give Bethany a holler … she’s creative, easy to work with and sooo awesome! Bonus. 😉

Back to the photos …

So good. So hungry just LOOKING at the images. 

I am ashamed to admit, I have never tried pulled pork … until now. Mmmmmm. I wish I could make it!

 I absolutely loved shooting these images … it’s so fun to do something a bit different and seriously?! Food as pretty as this?! Makes my job as easy as it can get! Bethany, I LOVED getting to know you better and I look forward to many more tasty-photo shoots in the near future!

 

And now, since it’s Friday and since I am doing a post about food … why not a giveaway centered around something almost as tasty but just as delicious looking?!

Doesn’t that look delicious? But this is not a dessert for the tastebuds, but a scrumptious treat for the body!
