Looking for a food photographer, recipe developer, or stylist to help promote your plant-based brand? You’ve come to the right place!
When I was a kid, I loved sitting on the kitchen floor in front of the cookbook cupboard, taking my time to go through each cookbook. Today, I showcase plant-based food for brands and readers of my blog, Beautiful Ingredient. I have trained at the Rouxbe Forks Over Knives Cooking School so that I can provide delicious real-food recipes that feel approachable while utilizing optimal ingredients for wellness. My goal is to encourage people to eat more plants by showing how easy and delicious a plant-based lifestyle can be, both with the recipes I create and visually through food photography.
I am lucky to live in the Seattle area, where I am inspired by nature and an abundance of beautiful local ingredients. With my trusty full-frame camera, I have honed my photography skills to create images that tell a story. I love working with brands to enhance their style through color, texture, layout, and mood. I am passionate about photography and love to experiment; it's a joy to hone in on a style that best communicates your vision as my client. As we work together, your priorities are top-of-mind throughout the entire process, from planning to styling, photography, and image processing. You can check out my portfolio to see some of the projects I’ve worked on.
Brands that actively care for both people and planet are the brands I want to work with. When a product supports wellness and a lifestyle built around eating real foods grown with thoughtful methods, without the use of harmful substances, I want to help that product be discovered and enjoyed by as many people as possible. I am eager to help brands that that I mostly work at my studio in the Seattle area, and am also occasionally available for on-location projects. You can request either through the form below.
When I'm not in my studio or in the kitchen, I'm usually spending time with my family, snuggling with our rescue dog, Maisie, catching up with friends on a long walk, attempting to do yoga, enthusiastically shopping at the farmers market, or enjoying a good book. And I'm probably eating homemade pecan butter while doing at least one of those things!
My recipes and photography were most recently featured in the Summer issue of Thrive Magazine. You can view the feature here.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
