FAQs
Do you help with food styling?
Simple styling guidance is included during the session. For larger commercial campaigns, professional food stylists can also be incorporated if needed.
Should we prepare dishes in advance?
Yes and no - it depends on the dish. We will discuss a shot list before the session so your team can prioritize the menu items you want photographed.
Can you photograph our staff and kitchen operations?
Absolutely. Many businesses choose to combine food photography with team portraits, chef portraits, and behind-the-scenes images.

What if we need images for Uber Eats, DoorDash, or Skip?

Do you post on social media?
Although I am not a content creator, I understand what it takes to curate a wonderful social media page for your business. My images are commonly used for websites, online ordering platforms, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, printed and online menus, advertising, and promotional materials.
When is the best time to schedule a food photography session?
Many restaurants choose quieter periods before opening, between service rushes, or on designated content days to ensure the kitchen can focus on preparing dishes for photography.
Can we photograph an entire seasonal menu?
Yes! Seasonal menu launches are a great opportunity to refresh your marketing materials and social media content. Before the session, we'll prioritize key dishes and create a plan that allows us to work efficiently during your photoshoot.
What if our dishes change frequently?
Many restaurants update photography throughout the year to reflect seasonal features, limited-time offers, and menu changes. Regular photography sessions can help keep your website, online ordering platforms, and social media channels up to date.
How should food be prepared for photography?
Presentation matters. Dishes should be prepared with extra attention to plating, garnish, and consistency. We'll discuss any preparation recommendations ahead of time so your menu items look their best on camera while still accurately representing what customers receive.
Can we create content for an upcoming menu launch?
Absolutely. Launch photography is one of the most effective ways to build excitement around a new menu, product line, or seasonal offering. Images can be created specifically for social media, websites, digital advertising, and promotional materials.
Do you photograph packaged food products?
Yes. Product photography is ideal for food producers, bakeries, beverage brands, specialty food companies, and retail products. Clean, professional imagery helps products stand out online, in marketing materials, and on e-commerce platforms.
What if we need images for Uber Eats, DoorDash, or Skip?
No problem. Photography can be optimized for online ordering platforms as well as your website and social media channels. High-quality food images can help customers make quicker purchasing decisions and better represent your offerings.
Can you photograph during live service?
Yes, although timing and planning are important. Some restaurants prefer photography during quieter periods, while others want to capture the energy of a full dining room. We'll determine the best approach based on your goals and operational needs.
How often should restaurants update their photography?
A good rule of thumb is whenever your menu, branding, or customer experience changes significantly or when the holiday season come around. Many restaurants benefit from updating their photography at least annually, while others schedule seasonal sessions throughout the year to maintain fresh content.
