This summer, I had the privilege of capturing a truly special series of farm-to-table dinners hosted by Angie and Alex on their beautiful farm Rootin Tootin Acres. These gatherings embodied everything I love about photography: genuine connections, meaningful stories, and moments of unfiltered joy.

Whether seated under the open sky or gathered inside the warm, inviting greenhouse, guests came together at a long communal table, united by their love of incredible food and community. Every dish was a celebration of the farm’s bounty, grown and harvested by Angie, Alex and an ensemble cast of farmers and growers, then transformed into culinary masterpieces by a rotating cast of talented local chefs.

The atmosphere was refreshingly down-to-earth—laughter echoing across the fields, conversations flowing as easily as the wine, and the kind of warmth that only comes from sharing a meal with others. My goal was to document not just the beauty of the setting, but the sense of connection and gratitude that filled the air.

These dinners weren’t just about the food—they were about the people, the stories, and the moments that bring us all a little closer together.
