When an idea comes to life! I collaborated with my creative team, penelope bouklas and Janine Kalesis to come up with a vintage inspired casino night. We incorporated vintage props as well as food and beverage. I created the lighting and composition to help set the tone of the environment. There were so many great moments from this shoot it’s hard to just pick a few. Noreen Eddy, our hand model really helped capture the mood and added the perfect human element to our story
Another fun creative collaboration with our client PRE on a new advertisement for their brand. It was a great continuation of using color and talent showing the various meats and how they can be served. We got to create colorful environments and explore playing with the product. Each setup incorporated a bold color and we were able to pair it with a recipe. This is a product you want to cook at your next summer get together! I love how the final piece came together, and all the amazing stills we captured from each setup. Teamwork makes the dreamwork!!

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and what better way to showcase that amongst other fun foods than recreating a diner! My dream team, food stylist Janine Kalesis and prop stylist Penelope Bouklas put our minds together to come up with fun diner environments with different diner foods to highlight including an early morning breakfast. I loved the challenge of lighting the scenes and making them feel like different times of the day. Also I was able to capture different angles and mini silhouettes of the scenes. Lots of fun props to help tell the story. Can’t wait till the next shoot!!

I really got to flex my creative muscle with this project! Lots of planning and prepping led up to this fun filled shoot directing and capturing stills for PRE Brands and their “Raise The Steaks” Campaign! The project was filled with bold, bright colors that weaved through their own branding. We got to work with a talented crew and group of models in studio to capture a bright day grilling and chilling. Each setup incorporated a bold color and we were able to pair it with a recipe. The grand finale was an overhead outdoor vibe in a group setting showcasing an array of the brands offerings. This is a product you want to cook at your next summer get together! I love how the final piece came together, and all the amazing stills we captured from each setup. Teamwork makes the dreamwork!!

2024 started off with a bang! I collaborated with food stylist Janine Kalesis and prop stylist Penelope Bouklas to create these vibrant scenes incorporating cannabis and some indulgent food. Each environment had a color scheme which was complimented with accent props sourced by Penelope. Each food component was styled and created by Janine. This was a super team!! We were able to work around the scenes and capture all sorts of variations, crops, and angles. Can’t wait till the next one.
