Streamlined, Professional, and Tailored to Your Vision


With over years of experience photographing food, I’ve perfected a process that’s not only efficient but also deeply creative and holistic. Working with me means you get much more than just photography—you’re gaining my abilities as a prop and food stylist, photographer, editor, creative director, and shoot manager. From sourcing the finest looking ingredients to crafting compelling visual stories, I handle every detail with precision and care. My process is designed for discerning clients who want more than just your average blog images.


Here’s how we work together:


Step 1: Initial Connection

Our collaboration starts with a personalized consultation. I take the time to understand your brand’s goals, your vision, and the story you want to tell through your images. Whether you have a clear direction or just an idea, this conversation is the foundation for creating something truly unique that sets your content apart.


Step 2: Style & Vision Outline

My detailed information gathering process goes beyond surface-level preferences. I want to understand your brand’s identity—from the mood and tone to your favorite textures and visual influences. This allows me to craft photos that not only look beautiful but also resonate with your style and vibe.


Step 3: Logistics Planning

Behind every stunning photo is a well-thought-out plan. I handle all logistical details, from image sizing and delivery formats to timelines and invoicing, so there’s no room for confusion. You’ll always know what to expect, and I make sure the entire process is seamless from start to finish.


Step 4: Contract & Agreement

Every project is secured with an industry-standard contract. It covers all the important aspects like deliverables, rights, and expectations, giving us both peace of mind as we move forward.


Step 5: Pre-Shoot Collaboration

I believe in thorough preparation before the shoot. I’ll fine-tune all the creative details—props, backdrops, garnishes, color stories—everything that makes your photos cohesive and true to your brand. I even manage tasks like grocery shopping and selecting the perfect ingredients to ensure everything is flawless on shoot day. My goal is to bring a vision to life that feels carefully curated and unique.


Step 6: The Photoshoot

This is where my roles as prop stylist, food stylist, and creative director come into play. From hand-picking the best backdrops and props to arranging each dish with artistry, I take care of every detail. With my experience as a photographer, editor, and shoot manager, I'm organizing your image with an intuitive and creative eye. You’ll get not only photos that look good, but that stand out from the crowd on social media.


Step 7: Delivery & Final Touches

After the shoot, I carefully edit each image by hand. You’ll receive high-resolution photos that are polished and ready to use, delivered according to the timeline and formats we’ve agreed on. My comprehensive approach ensures that the final product is as professional and impactful as your brand deserves.


Why Work with Me?

When you work with me, you’re not just hiring a photographer—you’re gaining a creative partner who takes on multiple roles to ensure your images are impeccable from concept to completion. I take care of everything, from grocery shopping to creative direction, so your photos are cohesive, high-quality, and a true reflection of your brand’s style. If you’re a discerning client looking for more than basic blog images, I offer a holistic service that elevates your content through professional styling, meticulous planning, and stunning photography.

Testimonials

Cassy Joy Garcia, Fed and Fit

“Over the years, I’ve worked with several photographers and have to say that Jess truly stands out from the crowd. In scrolling through our portfolio, it’s obvious where our work started together because the images are noticeably elevated. She has a brilliant use of light, offers the most thoughtful feedback along the way, and works hard to make sure that every photo is on-brand. I cannot recommend working with Jess enough, the impact it will have on your readership and your brand will speak for itself.”
