SERVICES

Most clients work with me on both, but each service is available separately. No brief required. I’ll research your product and come back with recipe and shot concepts for you to approve.

ABOUT
Los Angeles food photographer & recipe developer Alison Ashton

I’m Alison Ashton, a Cordon Bleu-trained chef and former senior food editor at Cooking Light. Most food photographers can shoot food. Most recipe developers can write a recipe. I do both, which means the content you get works in a kitchen and holds up on a shelf, a feed, and a retail deck.

Trusted by La Tortilla Factory, Hatch Chile Co., 505 Southwestern, and more.
PORTFOLIO
WHAT CLIENTS SAY

One of the (many) things I love about Alison she shapes authentic, engaging content relevant to the NOURISH brand and is an invaluable partner in my business.

Lia Huber, founder and CEO, NOURISH Evolution

Alison always treats us and the work as if we were her own colleagues and the products were her own. I always admire her recipe prowess, and in combination with her photography acumen, it’s unnecessary to hire a food stylist, which I think says a lot. The extra attention and motivation to get things right shows time and again. Alison and Content Kitchen are the consummate partners.

Chase Robinson, Insignia International (505 Southwestern)

Alison’s a joy to work with. She’s knowledgeable, creative, organized, deadline- and budget-savvy and incredibly solutions-oriented.

Anne Krueger, VP/Editor-in-Chief, PARADE Magazine
