What a fun shoot to wrap the summer with. It was great to work virtually with the creative team at Ghiradelli Chocolates in California on some new packaging work promoting smores with their chocolates. You can’t beat that! A caramel filled Ghiradelli chocolate lightly melted with toasted marshmallow between two graham crackers, yummy! We worked on different concepts for that over 2 days as well as capturing some additional chocolate experimental shots across their portfolio. It was great to have the creative freedom and work with chocolate stylist Liz Duffy. Can’t wait to see the final concepts out.

B.T.S. John and Kira's Chocolates (Safe Set Covid-19)
Always look forward to a chocolate shoot! When it’s John and Kira’s I know it’s not going to disappoint. They are a great client to collaborate on ideas and their vision for the brand. Lisa and myself really have creative freedom to elevate their chocolates every time. Always a great shoot! The difference this time was the limiting of people on location because of COVD-19. Following the previous precautions I’ve taken on other projects since the shut down and insight from ASMP, the leading industry photography organization I knew my clients were in good hands as well as my crew.

B.T.S. Photo Shoot John and Kira's Gourmet Chocolate
A favorite and challenging thing to photograph is chocolate. My team and I are always up for the challenge and love the sweet shots we walk away with! John and Kira’s a gourmet chocolate client of mine wanted to create some new imagery for their catalogue and website. The look and feel for this project was to convey moodiness and drama using the chocolate. Telling their story through high end imagery and propping is always our goal. The chocolate itself is always the hero! Working with Lisa Russell and team we were able to capture a beautiful variety of their chocolates over 2 days. We had layouts to reference while we were shooting to make sure they fit within. Having the client and chocolatier on set is always a plus because they get to help bring the photo concepts to life and they know their product best. Of course we taste tested along the way and their chocolate never disappoints.
It was great to have them on set and I can’t wait to see our final shots out.
