Wisconsin Cheese -more cheese please!

October has been a busy month at the studio. The new prep kitchen was put to the test with all the different food clients we had in this month.  

We were especially excited to work with Wisconsin Cheese again for their 12 months of cheese series -yes, 12 different, delicious Wisconsin cheeses tempting us everyday for the week long shoot. Though we cannot show you the yummy images from this month's photo shoot, (for those, keep an eye on Wisconsin Cheese Talk) we can show you highlights from the 2014 Wisconsin Cheese of the month campaign that we photographed last Fall.

Wisconsin Cheese, Cheese of the Month Series

We love cheese.  So.. how lucky were we to work with Wisconsin Cheese on their Cheese of the Month series.  We photograhed the featured cheeses and cheese boards last Fall and just wanted to share some of the images from the series.   A special thanks to food stylist, Stef Culberson for her creative touch. To keep up the with the most recent cheese of the month, check out Wisconsin Cheese or go to their Pinterest Cheese of the Month Board. You can also find what's happening on their Facebook page.

Photographing real ice cream with Jim Rude

I have always been a proponent of "keeping it real" in all aspects of my photography and photographing ice cream can be the ultimate challenge.  Food stylist, Jim Rude, is an amazing food stylist and happens to specialize in working with real ice cream.

During our shoot we took a little time to film Jim on set and prepping in the kitchen.  Check out the video to see a true master at work.  Jim offers his personal philosophy, insights and tools for working with real ice cream.  Video credits go out to Mark Gillespie at GHP Studio and Emily Kuh at Kuh Creative
