Food photography

In a world where food photography is in high demand, prices have become astronomical. Our reasonable rates make high-quality food images accessible for any small business.

Graphic Design

With over a decade of experience, we have created graphic and screen designs for numerous applications. Our work has included designing on-screen restaurant menus, logos, websites and website banners, and advertisements.

print design

Specializing in but not limited to the food industry, we’ve designed print & wall menus, banners, pennants and signs featuring our food images, brochures, business cards, magazine advertisements, and much more!

My mission

I provide an affordable, no-stress option for quality materials & photographs.

Working out of my home studio in Columbus, Ohio, I run a small photography and design firm catering especially to small (or otherwise) businesses in the food industry.

My love of cooking ethnic food and baking (including several wedding cakes) has equipped me with the skills to recreate any dish at home and allows me to do remote food photography work for clients out-of-state. From Hawaiian Huli-Huli chicken to frozen fruit smoothies, I’m up for any challenge!

Going off simple, no-frills reference photos from my clients, I regularly recreate and photograph dishes in my home studio. This flexibility has allowed me to do work for dining establishments across the country, in addition to my local work!
