Chef & team portraits
Portraits of the people behind the food
Guests, journalists and future hires want to see who is in the kitchen. I photograph chefs, winemakers, bartenders and hospitality teams in San Francisco and the Bay Area, plus headshots and personal-brand portraits for professionals.

The session
A relaxed session, natural results
Most people do not love being photographed. I keep sessions calm and quick, direct you through every pose and shoot in your own space, so the images feel like you on a good day.
How it works
Short call
We talk about who needs to be photographed and where the images will be used, and you get a clear proposal with a fixed price.
Plan
You get a mood board, a shot list, timing and instructions on how to prepare for the shooting.
Session
A calm, quick session in your own space or in a studio. I direct every pose so nobody has to guess.
Edited delivery
You get hand-edited images sized for your website and social media.

Frequently asked questions
Where do portrait sessions take place?
Usually at your restaurant, winery or office, so the photos show your real space. I can also shoot outdoors around San Francisco or in a studio.
Can you photograph our whole team in one visit?
Yes. I can set up a consistent look and photograph individual headshots and group photos in the same session.
Do you photograph personal brands and entrepreneurs?
Yes. Alongside chefs and hospitality teams, I photograph founders, consultants and professionals who need images for LinkedIn, websites and press.
