It’s been a heck of a few months and to round off our busiest shooting season ever, we landed in gorgeous Boulder, CO to teach a food photography workshop with Jen and Helen. The mountain scenery was to die for and we polished-off some of the best food that Boulder offered (at least a hint of it in a short 3 days – so much great food there), all in the company of great people and workshop attendees.
Two full days of food photography workshopping didn’t feel like work nor school. It was a fantastic gathering of learning, new friendships and plenty of amazing food.
We want to send out a HUGE thank you to Jen at UseRealButter for organizing the Food And Light Workshop and to Helen our photography-instructor-partner-in-crime.
Another big hug goes out to all the attendees that came to the workshop. Everyone’s energy and enthusiasm for learning food photography is the reason why the food blogging community is so awesome.
Lastly, a big thanks to all our sponsors, including Chefs Catalog who is proving us with a swag bag giveaway! All of the instructors (Us, Jen and Helen) are giving away a bag too, so you can comment on all our sites for 3 chances to win.

Synopsis of our 3 days in Boulder, Colorado:
Jen’s Dinner Party- Finally! We entered the famous Use Real Butter house and we’re pleased to report that this mountain retreat is even MORE BEAUTIFUL that what Jen has humbly described to us. She’s right, she does live in the boonies up in the mountains, but the view and the house itself was worth the long trek up the windy mountain roads.
As if Jen didn’t have enough to keep her busy with organizing the workshop, her and her husband (Jeremy) prepared a fabulous feast for a small group of her friends the night before. This woman is a machine, one helluva skier (especially the technical tele-skiing), an amazing photographer, a kick-ass cook and a maker of the most amazing ice cream. Her homemade thai tea, passion fruit and vanilla ice-creams has us all licking the bowls without embarrassment. We were floored at the amount of amazing food, generosity and hard work she put into every detail of her work.
Most exciting for us was to finally meet Kaweah, and to hike with the sweetest lab in the world. Kaweah the great swimmer in ice cold lakes, something we hope to be able to do when we grow up one day.

Food Photography and Styling Workshop
Two full days were dedicated to learning about food photography and styling. All the attendees honed in on their styling and photography. Their photographs came out beautiful! We gave away prizes at the end of the workshop to some of the top photographs and seriously, it was SO HARD to choose.
With so many talented photographers and stylists in one room, it raised the bar for everyone to learn and improve.

Eating Boulder, CO
Hands down, Boulder has some of the best happy-hour menus around. The quality of food, restaurants and scenery all in one place was enough to keep us inspired, but the value of the happy-hour food and drink had our jaws dropping to the floor.
We were blown away at the some of the low prices for such high quality and executed food in Boulder. The food and restaurant community in Boulder is outstanding, with so much emphasis on local, fresh and organic ingredients. Boulders food scene is rich in local pride and it’s evident in every superb dish we ate.
It was sad to leave Boulder, Jen, Jeremy, and Kaweah, but we’re heading back soon because there are so many more fabulous restaurants to visit and fantastic friends to spend time with.
todd is happy to be in beautiful Boulder
many cool restaurants and shops line Pearl Street
our favorite hang-out of the trip, The Kitchen Cafe , thanks to Jen for the recommendation!
we gathered at UpStairs of The Kitchen , the second level of this fabulous restaurant
plenty of great cocktails and wine were on the happy-hour menu – $6-$9 !
the best thick cut garlic fries ever! happy-hour price- unbelievable $3
mac and cheese ( $3) and toffee dessert a la mode
olives and woof fired pizza ($3-$5)

the table spread, full of wonderful munchies!
and of course, plenty of good looking and helpful staff to lend a helping hand

Really fantastic photos.
Aieee! It’s the Hitler/Cop from the Village People waiter! Other than his crazy-eyed mug, those pictures are stunning!
I so enjoyed the workshop and your company! You taught me some very handy skills and made me laugh so hard.
If you haven’t already, hop on over to Jen’s blog and check out the picture of Diane, Annie, and The Boobs that Ate Boulder. Awesome.
Wow, all the food looks fabulous.
Looks like you had a blast -gorgeous pics!!
I’ve got a serious case of workshop envy. Looks like it was a great experience.
Looks like such an amazing time! I hope this workshop will be the first of many, so I may have an opportunity to join some day!
Oh, please, please, please come to Florida sometime! I’d love attending one of your workshops. In fact, if you ever want to coordinate something in Florida, I’ll volunteer to help!
sounds like a great time!
Amazing photos. I’m just starting to play around with the settings on my camera, but I’ve got a lot to learn.

I desperately want to take one of your photography and food design workshops. Do you have a mailing list for your classes?
Thanks,
Carolyn
You’re photos are amazing and now I want to go visit Boulder CO! lol it looks like a wonderful town that hopefully I’ll get to visit (and I’ll know what restaurants are good also).
I just so happened to stumble upon your blog today, I was looking for a recipe for homemade ketchup so the glorious web linked me to your post from 2009 lol. I’ll definitely continue to follow your blog, I think you’re a wonderful writer and photographer (from what I can see from this post). I’m new to the “foodie” scene so I’ve been trying my nack at taking photos of my food as I create random things, check it out! Have a wonderful 4th of July!
I love the photo of the cherries in the martini glass!
Wow, thanks for sharing! Looks like everyone had a fabulous time!!
Looks like an awesome experience.
That looks like a fun workshop. If only Boulder wasn’t in… Colorado.
My favorite town in Colorado is Aurora.
just found your blog and it’s now on my feeder. Love your shots.
Fab photos! Boulder is an amazing place, I always thought I’d move there when I’m old enough to retire.
Great photos! Pleasure meeting you and taking food photos at Zov’s in Tustin, California. Hope to see both of you again soon.
Beautiful photos!
Oh, I love Boulder! These photos convinced me to put it at the top of my “next vacation” list.
I am ready to pack my bags and move to Boulder after seeing this post! Your photos are just gorgeous and this looks like a wonderful event. I really will have to make a trip back out there sometime soon. It is truly beautiful.
Thank you for the giveaway! I have lived in Boulder, it is a beautiful, beautiful city.
I would die to do a workshop like this one. Maybe someday. Thanks for sharing with us. Amazing pics
With some irony the kids from CA have visited and provided recommendations for Boulder which is 30 minutes away! Sorry I missed you this go around; looks like a wonderful fun and rewarding event for all; thanks for sharing.
What happened to all the beautiful food you photographed? Did you guys get to chow down after each shoot?
All your gorgeous pictures make me wish I had a better camera/actual photography talent =)
Looks like an amazing time, learning from the pros! Wish we could have been there!
Looks AMAZING!!! It’s fun to see the different perspectives of the same shot between the different blogs–the peas and greens that you shot paired with the pic of you taking the shot on Jen’s.
Thanks for sharing your experiences and pictures. They are amazing!
It looks like so much fun! and the natural light in the workshop rooms and in Jen’s house is GORGEOUS!
Alix
Great pics.
Being raised in the mountains I have to say, nothing stimulates the appetite like clean cold air, wide sky, and fast moving wind. What beautiful photographs, thanks you!
Looks like you had a great time!
Great giveaway, and gorgeous photos!
Ah, I’m jealous of all that natural light too. Wish I could have been there; I have a lot to learn! On a side note, though, I’m finding your photography tutorials really helpful.
What an amazing time! I really wish that I could have attended but maybe next time.
Beautiful shots! I’m salivating just looking at them. And the contest items look pretty awesome, too
What beautiful pictures, and the food and recommendations are wonderful. Never been to Colorado but it is on our list.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing the photo lesson session…
I agree. Boulder is beautiful! There is a wonderful tea house called Boulder Tea House, which has a fantastic menu!
Oh wow, those food pictures look great. I was totally craving mac and cheese and now it’s become something of an obsession.
You make me miss Boulder, especially those fries at the Kitchen. So yummy!
So glad your guys’ event turned out well. And glad Helen finally got to Boulder!
I’m loving the pictures, what a wonderful experience!
Glad you had such a lovely time.
Just in time to catch some wildflowers. Colorado is so beautiful this time of year!
Your great pictures definitely make me miss Colorado.
Looks like it was a really great event!
It sounds like you guys had a fantastic time. I wish I had the extra time/cash to take this class too. Maybe next time. Your pictures look absolutely wonderful!
Looks like a great learning experience – I hope you’ll do it again next year so I can attend.
Gorgeous photos! I love the light in your shots.
I love seeing your snaps and hearing your stories from the wonderful weekend that you both shared with my friend, Jen. I am so glad too that you enjoyed your visit to Boulder and to our beautiful Indian Peaks Wilderness — this is a really special place to call home.
beautiful photos. i’ve always wanted to visit Colorado.. it looks amazing.
The food, the scenery, the photos – all gorgeous! Looks like a wild success.

Looks like the workshop was amazing… I wish I could have made it. I’m glad you enjoyed beautiful Boulder.

Your photos are always amazing..consistently makes me drool.
Such a great workshop, so sad I missed it!
I’m so sad I missed that, it looked like such an awesome workshop, please do it again!
Great photos of awesome looking food. I got my engineering degree at CU Boulder and its a great town — the mountains, the university, the great restaurants, the outdoor lifestyle!
OMG – looks like such a great time! And a FABULOUS venue – you guys are all so talented and I hope you’ll do something like this again!
Absolutely inspiring photos….breathtaking!!!
NOT AN ENTRY (sorry to mess up the count): Had to say four things: 1) gorgeous photos 2) we miss you guys 3) thank you and 4) couldn’t tell if that poor waiter just wanted us out after you teased him so much!
Wow, such a treat! The Food! The Photography! The People! And beautiful Colorado!
Looks like you’re having a great time….being around all that yummy looking food, playing with cameras in Colorado…what a combination. Lucky you!

Wow, what an amazing few days! I was inches away from going to the workshop, but chickened out. I’m so glad to hear you had such a wonderful time.
Looks like a great time in Boulder! Thanks for sharing neat pictures!
Great photos! One of the reasons I got in to photography was because I was developing a cookbook of my own, and I could NOT afford high quality photography for each dish, and the steps included to make the dishes! These photos show exactly why food photographers deserve the right compensation! Inspriational, all of it!
wow, fantastic series of photos guys. Each one is a magazine cover in its own right! Looks like a fantastic class guys. Boulder looks incredibly beautiful too!
Great photos! Looks like you had a nice trip.

Amazing photos!
I need a better camera. But winning this giveaway will help.

Fantastic seminar you guys! I’m hoping to attend the next one!
We visited Colorado last October and passed through Boulder on the way to RMNP. What a neat town I can’t wait to revisit. Now I’ll know of great places to eat.
Wish I could have attended the workshop since all my food pictures turn out blurry and very amateurish.. You guys always make the food look AMAZING (which it probably is even if the photograph was blurred and yellow-y like mine).
Gorgeous photos. I’ve always wanted to visit Utah – now even more so!
Your pictures look beautiful! That scene is insane, I’ll definitely visit someday.
Amaaaaazing photos. Wow.
I love a giveaway! Though I never know what to say in the comment box. But today is my birthday so yay!

Cute dog picture! It looks like you had plenty of special opportunities to teach and practice your photography skills.
One of these days I’ll get to one of your photography workshops. It would make me one seriously happy gal.

Looks like an incredible workshop. Thanks so much for sharing the beautiful photos, and for the giveaway.
p.s. – you guys must still have Kaweah on the brain, since it looks like she provided the commentary for “olives and woof fired pizza.”
My goodness, Colorado sounds amazing and all the pictures look so stunning. I definitely have to add Boulder on my “Places to Visit” List
Truly beautiful photos of both the food and of Boulder. Feels like you can reach in and grab some to taste. Thanks!!!!

I love that you went to Boulder, my old stompin’ grounds. It just has such a great mystyque surrounding it, doesn’t it? I hope you got to get up in the hills and see some of the scenery that brought all of us to town in the sixties. And made it suc an icon of the time. It’s all grown up now!
Wish I could have been there; the workshop looks wonderful, too!

Years ago I was fortunate to spend a whole week in Colorado (closer to Colorado Springs/Denver) and it was heavenly; being from hot and humid Texas, I couldn’t get over how clean and clear the air was – plus no sweating! I really need all the goodies in the give-away. Thanks.

My favorite snack of summer is something my friends wife served to me a few years ago. It’s celery that’s marinated in roasted sesame seed oil, lemon juice and salt and pepper, then chilled for about an hour. Crispy, refreshing and amazing!
I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to visit Boulder more than when I read this post…
I love kitchen supplies!
I love seeing pics of people taking pics of food. : )

A wonderful workshop- absolutely the kind of workshop I would pick to attend.
Oh my gosh, the food looks amazing! And what I would give to escape this heat and oppressive humidity for the cooler, dry air of Boulder!
I always love the photos of Kaweah! The workshop sounds amazing, and the restaurant prices are unheard of! Are you sure you didn’t travel back in time, too? Thank you for sharing the wonderful photographs and for a chance at the giveaway.

Amazing food, fabulous photography, great venue, best instructors, great company, what more could you ask for, well, I could ask for one thing and one thing only, could you hold a workshop in Canada, possibly Toronto?
