I spent a Sunday afternoon with Emma and Vincenzo owners of Sofia Ristorante in the historical district of downtown Hudson, MA. It's worth the trip out there to see this neighborhood restaurant and hidden gem.

We were so lucky to have a beautiful day for our shoot. I was able to use light from their big dining room windows.

My favorite way to shoot is to mix natural and studio lighting and as a photographer it's a treat to get to work in an environment that has great availability of natural light to start to build my shot.

This tablescape on the left mixes their beautiful window light with an added sparkle from my studio strobe lighting.

As a work perk I ate this delicious molten chocolate cake after and it was to die for!

Bonus, they have authentic espresso and cappuccino, also taste tested and approved by me!

Vincenzo is the chef and owner and does such a great job preparing and plating food that he made it easy for me to capture for your visual enjoyment.

Now that I've given you a visual taste go check out their tuscan focused cusine for yourself at 158 Main St, Hudson, MA 01749 They are Open Monday through Saturday for lunch and dinner.
