Food & drink photography
Food, drink and product photography that sells
I create styled, appetizing images for bars, bakeries, cafés, wineries and food and beverage brands in the San Francisco Bay Area, from a single cocktail to a full product line.
Services
What I shoot
Bars and cocktails
Signature drinks, bartenders at work and the atmosphere of your bar.
Bakeries and cafés
Bread, pastries, cakes and coffee, with the texture and warmth people can almost taste.
Wineries
Bottles, pours, tasting rooms, vineyards and the people behind the wine, in Napa, Sonoma and beyond.
Food and beverage brands
Packaged products, beer, kombucha and CPG photography for e-commerce, retail and social media.
Short-form video
Pours, close-ups and product clips for Reels and TikTok.
Why it matters
People buy with their eyes first
Good images make a menu item, a bottle or a pastry look irresistible, and give your website, Instagram and delivery listings a consistent, professional look. I combine natural and studio light, careful styling and 10 years of food photography experience to get there.

Frequently asked questions
Do you photograph cocktails, wine and coffee?
Yes. Drinks are one of my favourite subjects: cocktails, wine, beer, kombucha and coffee, in your venue or styled for a product shoot.
Can you photograph packaged products for my food or beverage brand?
Yes. I photograph bottles, cans, packaging and baked goods for e-commerce, retail and social media, on clean backgrounds or in lifestyle scenes.
Do you work with wineries in Napa and Sonoma?
Yes. I photograph wine, vineyards, tasting rooms and winemakers, and I travel to wine country for shoots.
What do I need to prepare?
The products or dishes, and a rough list of how you will use the images. I bring the lighting, props and styling plan, and we agree the shot list before the day.
