RESTAURANTS & CAFÉS 

Photography for Instagram, websites & marketing.  

Your space has its own rhythm — the light, the atmosphere, the way people move through it. My role is to capture that feeling in a way that feels honest, warm, and true to your brand. Whether you’re updating your website, refreshing your Instagram, or building a consistent visual identity, these sessions are designed to give you a gallery of images that tell the story of your space.

F.A.Q.

How much time do you need for a shoot?

For most restaurants and cafés, a typical shoot takes 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on how many food/drink items, interiors, and lifestyle shots you want. Larger venues may require additional time. I always provide a recommended timeline after learning more about your goals.  

Do we need to close the restaurant for the photo session?

I can work around service hours when needed. For lifestyle scenes (baristas, customers, team), real operating hours can add a nice authentic feel. However, if you prefer clean, empty interior shots with no guests in the background, scheduling before opening or between service times works best.  

How many final images will we receive?

It depends on the project scope, but most restaurants receive 45–60 edited images, focusing on the strongest visuals. I prioritize quality and storytelling over volume, so you only get images that truly represent your brand.

How far in advance should we book?

For restaurants, 1–2 weeks in advance usually works well. For seasonal campaigns or content refreshes, it’s best to book earlier.  

Do you photograph menu-style food images?

No. I focus on lifestyle, atmosphere, and design — not menu photography.
