LOS ANGELES · FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY & RECIPE DEVELOPMENT

One brief. One studio.
Three ways to get started.

Recipe development and photography, concept to camera with one brief and fully licensed. Three packages sized for where you are right now.

Most clients looking at food photography pricing have a product and a deadline, but often no  creative brief. That’s where I come in to research your product and audience, pitch recipe concepts for your approval, then develop, style, shoot, and retouch – all in one studio. These packages are what that looks like at three different levels.

BILL OF FARE

Each package includes recipe development and food photography. If you need just one or the other, that’s available too. Working with a tighter budget or a narrower scope? Get in touch. Smaller projects are occasionally available.

* Travel and out-of-studio shoot costs quoted separately. Specialty ingredients or custom prop sourcing beyond the included allowance quoted and approved before purchase.

FAQs

What if my budget is smaller than The Starter?

Smaller projects are available depending on timing and scope. Get in touch, tell me what you need, and we’ll see what we can work out. Projects start at $1,200.

What if my project doesn’t fit a package exactly?

These tiers cover most briefs, but if you have something unusual (a tight deadline, an existing brief that’s partially done, or a need for more deliverables), reach out. Custom quotes are available.

What if I only need photography, not recipe development? Or vice versa?

Both services are available individually. Let’s talk, and we’ll figure out what fits.

What does “2-year usage rights across all owned and paid channels” mean?

You can use the images and video on your website, social channels, email, paid ads, retail decks, and sales support materials for two years from delivery without paying additional licensing fees later.
