One of my favorite seasons is upon us – oyster season! A couple of weekends ago we were hosting Peter’s cousin who mentioned she likes oysters, which meant we just had to go and get some. We went to Island Creek Oyster Bar in Kenmore. Sitting at the bar, looking at all the oyster farm paraphernalia, reminded me of this shoot we did a few years back.

We met up with Melissa & Peter at Island Creek Oyster Farm in Duxbury. We were taken on a tour of the farm – starting out on ICO’s Oysterplex; then a tour of the area on a skiff with a stop by one of the beaches; and finally on the salt flats, where we dug up our very own oysters and shucked them right there…in our waders…with salt water and sand covering our hands. Such a fantastic experience! I would love to do more shoots like this one. Who’s up for putting waders on?!
