Hi, I’m Elise.

Elise’s food photography started with Elise Tries to Cook, her healthy recipe blog, where she learned to make food look as inviting on camera as it is in real life.

Today she brings that care for color, texture, and appetite appeal to food, beverage, wellness, and CPG brands, plus a project management background that keeps every shoot organized from concept to final assets.

FAQs

  • Food and beverage is my specialty, but I also photograph beauty, health, wellness, and other consumer products. I work with brands at different stages, from founder-led businesses to established teams planning larger campaigns.

  • Yes. I lead the creative work and bring in food stylists, prop stylists, models, and other crew members when a project needs them. We’ll work out what’s needed during planning so you know who’s involved before the shoot.

  • Yes. I create stop motion, GIFs, short videos, and longer-form video alongside photography. If you need assets for several channels, we can plan the shoot around everything you need.

  • Tell me about your product, the kind of images or video you need, where you plan to use them, and your timeline. If you have a creative brief or visual references, send those too. If you’re still figuring out the details, that’s fine. We can talk through them on our first call.
