Photo Workshops for Food, Styling, Crafts & Video of Bi-Rite Creamery Cookbook!
Happy Sunday everyone! Now that were home for 10 days straight (yes!), we’re finally able to finish off some details of our upcoming photography workshop announcements. We have much to share with you today, but let’s start with the cookbook promo video we produced for Bi-Rite Creamery’s new cookbook!
In our previous post, we mentioned that we produced the cookbook trailer video for Bi-Rite creamery. It was such an honor to be able to work with the amazing Bi-Rite Creamery team and Ten Speed Press folks.
Chef’s Anne and Kris produce some of the best ice cream in the country. Now they’re sharing many of their terrific and special recipes in their latest book, Sweet Cream and Sugar Cones. We’ve had the book in our possession for the last few weeks and it’s hard to not put it down.
The recipes are made with love, great ingredients and local pride. You can now make their ice creams right in your own home.
Enjoy the video! And take a close look at all the food blogger cameo appearances. Do you see them in the video?

Photography Workshop Preliminary Details:
So many of you have emailed, messaged and asked us about our next workshops. Sorry to make you wait so long, but we’ve been planning this so that we can properly organize and structure the workshops to make them the best that we can! We’re almost ready to launch and announce those dates next week. Thank you so much for all your patience.
We’ll be offering a variety of dates and different types of photography workshops, specializing for the needs of food bloggers, craft/design bloggers and portrait/lifestyle bloggers. Each discipline of photography has different and unique techniques and methods, so we decided to divide our workshops into different categories so that we can focus on each of your specialties.
Here’s a sneak peak at what we’ll be offering & announcing next week:
1. Food Photography & Food Styling Workshop & Business of Food Photography– Hands on- 2 day workshop at our photography studio in Orange County, CA.

Love the video! Add that to my list of cookbooks I’m drooling to get. I love that you guys share your gift through workshops! I live in the Milwaukee area (not exactly a bustling hub on the topic) but would love to cross paths with you at some point. I just recently got into photography to enhance my blog and capture our “adventures”. Thanks always for sharing and maybe I’ll be able to join in on one of your workshops soon 🙂
Oh….would l-o-v-e a workshop on garden photography!!!! Pleeeeeze! 😉
Great video on the Sweet Cream and Sugar Cones…heading over to Amazon to reserve my copy now!
Looking forward to possibly attending your 2-day workshop in Orange County!! 🙂
So excited for the workshop — keeping my fingers crossed!!
Ps: LOVE the video. And now I am left with MAJOR ice cream cravings 😀
Kiran- thank you and look forward to seeing you in Orlando soon. xoxo
Diane + Todd,
You are welcome and ditto about Orlando! Cannot wait to meet you guys. xoxoxo
Hey, just to inform you about your Facebook fanpage. You can claim your own url by logging on, and go to facebook.com/username. Your facebook fan page url is too long. Just thought to inform you about it 🙂 That way, you can include it on your stationary and website.
Kiran- thank you 🙂 you’re the 3rd person to have informed us. We’re really behind and “newish” to Facebook, still understanding how it all works sometimes. Eventually, we’ll get around to changing our url.
see u next week!
I am VERY interested in your workshop. I live here in Orange County and have been hoping for a workshop like this to pop up. I just hope I am able to get a spot in the class. Looking forward to it! 🙂
Sign me up for the food photography! Can’t wait for more details.
Love the video and love what you two are up to lately. Doing what you love and sharing that gift with others. If only I lived in Cali I’d be dropping in for your class, but I know everyone that does will be better off because of it.
So excited about this! I recently started my own food blog, and bought a dslr that I have not yet felt comfortable taking off auto mode. I really, really want to attend this workshop! However, before I get my hopes up, is it possible for you to let us know what the cost of the workshops are? I’m a phd student, i.e., I’m subjecting myself and my family to wages barely above the poverty line. Lol. At least it’s temporary (I hope) 🙂 thanks!!
I missed the Boulder workshops and I live in Boulder. Maybe I can make Orange County. Will you be posting more details on your blog??
You make everything so inviting! Can’t wait for the Bi-Rite Creamery book to come out!
This is a great video. So proud of you two!
Hi! I would LOVE nothing more then to attend your workshop, I absolutely adore you’re guys’ work! What is the best way to ensure a spot? Can’t wait for all the details next week!
I am so excited for the release of the Bi-Rite Creamery Cookbook. What an awesome video, you really captured the spirit of the owners. Love it!
I’m tempted to take your workshop even though I was at Food and Light just so I can poke around your prop room and see your studio. Looks like so much fun.
Great work as always!
PS I love the video!!
Love the workshops. I hope they are on a date I can attend!
