Nice to e-meet you, I'm Emily!
I'm a Tucson-based commercial photographer specializing in plant-based food and product photography.
I create beautiful images that tell stories about your brand, evoke feelings of joy and wellness, and build awareness for your brand. My images are sure to bring your products to life and help you increase sales with my captivating photos, unique storytelling skills, and eye-catching content.
You'll often find me exploring Tucson and the farmers markets or making my next batch of sourdough. I love to travel, so don't be surprised if you see me planning my next adventure with my husband. And when I'm not traveling? You can usually find me whipping up a favorite recipe, writing for my plant-based food blog Resplendent Kitchen, or creating images.
Why I'm Different
There are many aspects of the photography industry that may seem daunting, but I am here to take care of all the details for you. From our initial consultation process through your final images, you can trust me to be there every step of the way. You won't have to worry about which shots we choose or whether or not they're up to your expectations because I'll keep you updated and informed as we work together on the project.
From the moment you call me for a complimentary consultation, you’ll notice that I’m not your ordinary photographer. Here are a few of the many reasons I stand out from the crowd. If you're a brand or business that can benefit from high-quality, stunning plant-based images for your marketing, website, or social media, don't hesitate to email me today!
Food Focus
Food photography is my bread and plant-based butter; this means you'll partner with someone who is an expert at capturing the beauty of plant-based food. I help my clients tell their brand's values and story through the use of fresh ingredients, lighting, and thoughtful prop and background selection. I know what it takes to bring out the very best in your plant-based food and products.
Simple Approach
I take a clean and minimal approach to my work and allow the food to speak for itself, making it the main focus. From bright images filled with light to moody scenes evoking a sense of drama, I know how to create images that speak to and resonate with your ideal customer. You'll find my photographs to be simple yet strong enough to captivate your audience and drive results.
Food Passion
My food photography business is more than just a job. It's my true passion. I left my nursing career behind me to do what I love: shoot mouthwatering images of healthy ingredients and fresh foods to help businesses such as yours flourish. This passion for food and photography allows me to unleash my creativity to help plant-based brands achieve success by creating imagery to help them meet their business goals.

Testimonials
“After connecting on IG, I collaborated with Resplendent Kitchen on campaigns for Louis Jadot and Cakebread Cellars. Emily kept me updated on every step of her creative process. Concepts were strategized to be on-brand with the client, but still feel organic on Emily's channel. Once published, her audience responded enthusiastically to the content, with many commentators calling out the brands by name. Especially during a crazy year and during the holiday season, Emily was the height of professionalism.”
