Story-First Photography for Restaurants

Thoughtful visuals that make your food and story irresistible.

Running a restaurant takes creativity, risk, and a lot of heart.

Marketing usually isn’t the problem — time is.

I’m a food photographer and storyteller who works with restaurant owners to capture what makes your place yours: the food, the people, and the atmosphere behind it all. From quick seasonal updates to ongoing support, these offerings are designed to meet you where you are — and take a little pressure off your plate.

Ways We Can Work Together

Think of this as a menu. Different sizes. Same care.

Single Session

A thoughtful start.

One hour with one photographer is all you need to get high-quality visuals for pop-ups, new restaurants, or seasonal updates. This option is designed for growing businesses and real-world budgets, giving you a solid foundation to build your marketing from.

Comprehensive Shoot

Everything you need for a full launch or rebrand.

Perfect for website builds, rebrands, or new openings, this session captures your food, drinks, interiors, exteriors, staff, and behind-the-scenes moments. The goal is a complete library of visuals to support your entire marketing strategy — so your brand shines consistently across every platform and campaign.

Quarterly & Seasonal Retainer

Consistent visuals that evolve with your menu and your seasons.

For restaurants with menus that change regularly or a social presence that demands fresh content, we plan and capture imagery each quarter. From seasonal dishes to lifestyle and behind-the-scenes shots, this ongoing storytelling keeps your marketing intentional and current — without you having to think about it.

Embedded Creative Partner

A full creative partnership built on trust and consistency.

For restaurants without a dedicated marketing team, this is ongoing photography and video, social media support, and graphic design as needed. I capture your food, your space, your people, and the stories behind it all while collaborating with management to take marketing off your plate. Marketing becomes proactive, professional, and aligned with your brand at every level.

Video Add-On

Bring your story to life in motion.

Available with any photography offering, video can be short, story-driven clips for social media or more polished, high-end productions. Every frame is intentional, capturing your food, team, and space in a way that supports your brand and storytelling.
