Featured Food Photography Clients
Naked Nutrition wanted a styled photo collection that showcased their packaged food products. So, I produced several concepts that featured their brand's flavors and playful personality.
Revol Porcelain wanted to show off their dinnerware collections and COVID-safe product lines. So, I photographed a variety of styled scenes. The result? A collection that features their products' natural beauty and versatility.
Flora Fine Foods wanted professional food photography for many campaigns. So, I developed monthly recipes, blog posts, and styled product scenes. I also produced collections for their Holiday campaigns, including their gift baskets.
Pacific Resources International wanted recipes and styled photos for their new honey products. So, I created warm Fall recipes to complement their unique flavors. Then, I styled modern dinner scenes to feature these recipes and products.

Since every photoshoot is unique, it's hard to give you a quote until I know all the juicy details. My photography rate varies based on the scope of the project and how complex it is. And keep in mind that there may be additional expenses for things like food and prop stylists, ingredients, props, backgrounds, retouching, studio space, and equipment rental.
As a rough guide, if your budget is under $1000, you might want to consider working with a photography student or someone who's just starting out in the biz. But if you're looking for a pro with experience and expertise, you’re on the right page! Please fill in the info below and let’s get started!
