ITS BEEN A WEEK SINCE THE ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING OUT AND SUPPORTING US AND PARTYING WITH US AND MAKING THIS THE BEST YEAR OF MY LIFE! Opening this restaurant was such a dream come true and it’s way better than I ever dreamed it would be and it’s because of all of you! I feel so lucky to work with the best team, work with my dad, work with other amazing local businesses like @brothmonger & @fatbutchershop & @madebymarlamae & @miketheballoonguy & @cwpress and serve a community as wonderful as Bloomfield. Thank you for the best first year and I can’t wait for the next 1000000 years!

TOMORROW OUR ANNIVERSARY T SHIRT WILL BE ON SALE FOR $25 AS PART OF OUR ONE YEAR CELEBRATION. Im very excited about it and hope you are too!!!!!! EDIT: SOLD OUT!!!!

i’m still flipping burgers and back flips over here on this project i self-produced and directed. if you had missed its debut, i had the opportunity to pitch an idea to Dad Dogs: reimagining their classic menu board as a “lookbook-style” lifestyle menu. instead of a traditional list or sporadic polished food photography, the new design features minimalist text and curated visuals, inviting customers to browse the menu like they would a fashion catalog — choosing their meal by mood and style rather than just by name.

i’ve visit plenty of restaurants that use food photography to capture attention, and it’s always effective — often much more so than a plain list of items. but since my work leans toward lifestyle, this became my own take on what a restaurant menu could be.

our menu layout and design was in collaboration with @aaroneasler3 who was able to bring a retro style that correlates with the time capsule style of dad dog’s interior ecstatic.

a huge thank you to the staff and owner katelyn at dad dogs who trusted me to come into their space and bring this project to life. I am grateful!

TODAY IS ALYSSA’S BIRTHDAY SO IT’S TIME FOR AN EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT. TO KNOW ALYSSA IS TO LOVE THEM. THEY RADIATE POSITIVITY AND JOY TO ANYONE LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE IN THIER ORBIT. IF YOU’VEEVER BEEN SERVED BY THEM YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN. THEY ARE ONE OF THE SHIFT LEADS HERE AT DADS AND ALSO AN EXTREMELY TALENTED PASTRY CHEF, LOVER OF ALL THINGS K-POP, PARENT TO ONE BRAND NEW PUPPY + FOUR CATS, AND AN INCREDIBLY LOVING PARTNER TO THEIR EQUALLY AS AMAZING WIFE. SOOO YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO - WISH THEM A HAPPY BIRTHDAY RIGHT NOW!!

more to share as i show off the video element of my latest personal project.

my original idea came from how i wanted to reimagine the hip diner restaurant: dad’s dog and burger’s, classic menu board as a “lookbook-style” lifestyle menu. instead of a traditional list or sporadic polished food photography, the new design features minimalist text and curated visuals, inviting customers to browse the menu like they would a fashion catalog — choosing their meal by mood and style rather than just by name.

with doing this production i wanted to capture our still elements in video for sublimenting the social content and mixing the two medias.

working alongside @spencerthecaptain as my camera operator and DP, as i directed talent to carry out our actions.

i love getting to direct between shooting stills.
