Not to be confused with Moe’s Crosstown or Moe’s Southwest Grill. The Crosstown one has the best burgers in Charleston (other than maybe AC’s) and now they’re opening a new location right off East Bay in front of City Bar. I shot this for the cover of what2do magazine, a free restaurant and bar life guide.

We needed a quick portrait done of the local AIA chapter head for the magazine. I wanted to be in and out and done quickly because Gretchen has a family and I had to shoot her at her lovely home around dinner time. Who wants a photographer coming to the house when you’re trying to get your three piece and a biscuit on? Anyways, like I said the house is pretty much amazing (she is an architect after all) and it was full of modern paintings and sculpture. Museum like, but homey and lived in. She seemed a bit nervous at first so I told her to sit on the couch and relax so I could get the lighting levels correct. I popped off a few shots to test while she was talking about her kids and the smiles came naturally. This is by far my favorite shot. All in all, I was there for no more than 20 minutes. Faster than Dominos.
