your process, people, and passion

Nice to meet you

I’m Emma, an LA-based photographer focusing on storytelling in restaurants.

As someone who’s worked in the industry for 10 years, I have developed a deep admiration for people who create food and a space for gathering.

With a meticulously candid approach, I capture moments of spontaneity and joy to highlight the people and passion behind your business.

Let’s work together.

  • All social media + website content needs on a monthly basis. Customizable quote for your needs and budget.

  • Everything your business needs to start off with a cohesive visual vibe:

    • Food/Drinks

    • Team portraits

    • Architecture/Space

    • Action shots

    • Prep/behind the scenes

  • Showcase seasonal ingredients and dishes with a few shoots a year. Includes food, drinks + behind the scenes prep.

  • Posed or candid, individual or group, small or large team - highlight the people who make your restaurant possible.

  • Candids, storytelling, little details - the less obvious moments that make you stand out.
