Sneak Peek // Claire McCormack Photography

Before we left for Europe, I had the pleasure of interviewing one of our favorite food photographers... Claire McCormack Hogan of Claire McCormack Photography. During the interview I asked Claire for her top 10 places to eat and drink in Texas. Of course as a lover of all things food, she had much more than ten suggestions. Her list was waaaay too good to cut down. So, I decided instead of cutting her list down, I'd give you her F&B guide this week and her interview next! 

Claire's photography tells a story. She captures the beauty of food, the heart of the people making it, and the atmosphere where it's created.  Instead of just getting a glimpse into a moment, Claire's work transports you to an entire experience. Isn't it incredible?  

You'll see more of Claire on the mr.&mrs.h guide next week when we post her interview. But, as an aperitif, here's a sneak peek of Claire's work and her restaurant guide to Dallas, Austin, and Fredericksburg.
