I had the opportunity, thanks to Lori at The Cupcake Bar, to attend and cover an event where she was serving up some delightful treats. It was for the Edible Austin’s 3rd Annual Eat Local Week. The Hilton downtown and Finn & Porter co-hosted along with Lori. I think I was more excited about shooting the food than I was eating it – but I did both!

Not only was everything good to look at it was also delicious.

    Great photos Elizabeth! I’m very impressed with the composition. Maybe we can work on partnering with potential client brides when they site our facility. Let me know. JB
