Hello & Welcome!
I'm Sue, a Massachusetts-based photographer, videographer and recipe developer! I specialize in working with national food and beverage companies, Boston and Providence area restaurants and New England culinary enthusiasts to create stunning images that tell a story and capture the essence of your brand. Whether you need imagery for your website, menu, a cookbook or to promote your business on social media, I am dedicated to producing high-quality photos and videos that will make your audience’s mouths water and increase sales. If you need recipes as well, I create those, too!
While I have a Masters in Social Work and worked in child protection for many years, my two passions - food and photography - kept calling for me! So, in early 2020, I started a food photography account on Instagram which has led to incredible brand partnerships and a fulfilling career that I love.
​
Preparing, styling and photographing food and drinks bring me equal amounts of excitement. I simply love capturing images that emphasize textures, shadows and yummy food details. My photographs range from light and bright to dark and moody - and I will obsess over your project until we have images that perfectly reflect your brand's uniqueness and meet your photography needs.
When I'm not in the kitchen or behind the lens, I'm probably gardening, exercising, reading, traveling with my family or doing a puzzle with my son who just so happens to be the cutest hand model ever!
A few fun facts:
-
I live in Massachusetts, but I'm a Jersey Girl (born & raised) and have also lived in Washington D.C. & New Orleans (where I met hubby)
-
I once nannied for two months in Tuscany which was uh-mazing!
-
I have dual citizenship with the United States and Ireland
-
I've climbed to the top of a 13,000 foot mountain in Wyoming
-
I believe you can't have too many serving platters, glassware or aprons
-
I have a prop and backdrop collection that would make any food photographer green with envy
Clients include:
