Photo Shoot with Unilever + Meijer Stores

Excited to share a recent shoot with Arc Worldwide, Unilever and Meijer Stores collaboration. Ice cream 7 days a week is fine by me! We created 7 tasty and vibrant shots of ice cream and their recipes you could make every day of the week. A really fun play on words and even better treats! Couldn’t of been possible without the amazing support of AgencyMJ, Rocket To The Moon and the entire crew:

Food Stylist: Charlotte Omnes

Prop Stylist: Maya Rossi

Studio: Space28

Assistants: Regina Tamburro, Desmond Reich

Rita's Italian Ice Photo Shoot

So excited to finally share some new work I shot for Rita’s Italian Ice! Growing up with the brand this was a dream client to be able to work with. I worked with food stylist Alise Arato for the week capturing all sorts of Italian ices, custards, hand scoops. It was so fun and tasty of course! Looking forward to the next one, and keep an eye out for the new images.

B.T.S. Campbell's Photo Shoot

Growing up there were some brands you just dream of working with. Having the opportunity to work with Campbell’s came true! Lisa Russell brought me on as the photographer for this project. We had the opportunity to work with their snack division on some social content photography. This was so fun putting together stop motion and recipe photos. We got to work with The Snack Factory and Synders Pretzels. The recipes were great for upcoming holidays and the stop motion pieces were a playful way to use the brands. The photography had punchy color and light. Propping was great and helped elevate the brands. The Campbell’s team was very hands on and made the whole production run smoothly. In the end we walked away with great photography for them.

Can’t wait to see the images out!
