Working Together is like…

I work with CPG brands, food and beverage companies, food media, and restaurants on photo projects of all sizes. Every project starts with a conversation and is scoped to fit what you actually need. Projects are tailored to fit a range of budgets and remain within reach— the scope of production scales with the investment, but we can also do a lot with a little, and strategize together how to get the most of our shoot days.

The Process

1 Discovery & planning — Initial consultation to align on goals, creative vision, deliverables, and scope. Brand guidelines and target audience reviewed here.

2 Pre-production — Shot list review, sourcing, logistics, and scheduling finalized.

3 Shoot day(s) — Efficient, scheduled production built around your deliverable list. Studio or on-location, in South Florida or wherever the project calls for.

4 Post-production — Retouching, formatting, and one round of feedback before final delivery.

5 Final delivery — All assets delivered at 300 dpi in agreed formats, on the established due date.

FAQ

Do you travel for shoots, or only work in South Florida?

My studio is based in West Palm Beach, FL, but available to travel nationwide.

What kind of clients do you work with?

Indie CPG brands, food and beverage companies, food media, and restaurants — on product, recipe, campaign, and lifestyle brand photography.

What's included in a typical project?

Every project starts with a discovery call to scope deliverables, followed by pre-production, the shoot itself (studio or on-location), post-production/retouching with one round of feedback, and final delivery at 300 dpi in the agreed formats.

How much does a shoot cost?

Projects are estimated based off scope, deliverables, and intended usage. This ensures the client is paying for exactly what they need and helps eliminate uneccessary expenses. Estimate ranges can be offered through email inquiry.

How far in advance should I book?

Larger scale productions benefit from at least 3 weeks. I am flexible with faster turnaround on smaller jobs.

Do you offer food styling or recipe development?

What do I get: raw files, retouched images, both?

Final, retouched assets in requested crops, resolution, and formats to be used per usage agreements. RAW and unretouched images remain in storage for (2) years and can later be purchased as needed.

Yes — GIFs, long-form stop motion, and video are offered as an additional service.
