Empowering Women & Supporting Local Businesses
There is no greater joy than helping another woman who is a local entrepreneur! I am so glad I could help these two women entrepreneurs here in the Bay Area. It was a very fulfilling use of downtime.
Caterer Angela Chow was booked through summer for 2020 until March when Covid hit and everyone canceled. She serves high-end clients in the Bay Area including Google and has all 5-star reviews. In 2021, Angela was determined to reboot her business and rewrote her menu. She brought her amazing dishes and gorgeous edible flower garnishes. We styled them together and I captured all the shots for her.
Look what we created over time! The best story for me is that her clients immediately book without a tasting when they see these images.
This image was made after our first day. I kept putting all of the dishes aside and then surprised her with this hero shot using her food, tools, sauces, and garnishes to help tell her story.
Zeila Santos-Schappelle, the founder of Brigadeiros Sprinkles, needed images for her website. She uses her grandmother’s recipe to create the most amazing Brazilian-style chocolate truffles. She works a full-time job, raises a daughter, and launches her candy company in her spare time. Who could resist helping her or her mission?
