A Q&A with one of the best food stylists around.

There’s nothing like a summer launch done right. For Caffe Cocina, the release of their Velvet Sunshine Nitro Cold Brewwas more than just a new product on the shelf—it was a celebration of community, craft, and staying true to who they are.

At BKP, we’ve partnered with Caffe Cocina for over six years, and this project was one of our favorites yet. Together, we built a campaign that touched every corner of their brand: polished product photography for the website and app, lifestyle imagery celebrating Poulsbo (yes, the hometown shoutout made it onto the can!), and visuals for in-store signage and social media.

The result? A launch that looked effortless but was carefully designed to feel exactly like Caffe Cocina—authentic, inviting, and undeniably cool. And just like the coffee itself, the campaign was smooth, refreshing, and impossible to resist.

If you’ve ever stepped into a restaurant and instantly felt something—that subtle alignment between the menu, the mood, and the message—you’ve likely felt the ripple effect of someone like Rachael Studebaker.

There’s something especially rewarding about working on a project that doesn’t just look good—but feels right….

This is a place for creatives, chefs, designers, farmers, marketing directors, and home cooks alike. Together, we’ll explore how to take better food photos, create visuals that sell, and tell the kinds of food stories that make people feel something. Along the way, I’ll be sharing interviews with incredible people in the industry—starting soon with our first expert guest (stay tuned!).
