I get such a rush working on last-minute productions, and it’s even better when working with long time friends! I met Christian Petroni years ago before he made the jump to celebrity chef status, and I’m so glad we still talk and work together after all this time. Christian let me know the week before Christmas that there might be a shoot happening for his collaboration with Bertucci’s, a long time New England chain of Italian restaurants (who remembers throwing dough at them in the 80s and 90s?), and it needed to be done prior to NYE. I got all the ducks in a row and we knocked out a full day of shooting to produce the portraits, food images, and all the variants needed for all their marketing pieces which turned out great!
