“As as stationer, I found this hugely helpful to be able to showcase my work as full invitation suite but also with the day of stationer pieces. Styling is so much more then pretty things, but pulling props that highlight a story and methods that support the overall aesthetic. My Instagram has been having so much more engagement since this class.”

"Samantha’s thoughtful interview process was enlightening."
Through a comprehensive brand discovery process, we identified the need to reposition Garnish Catering as a culinary collaborator. The photoshoot focused on capturing the heart of the business: the chefs and their craft. By showcasing the team's passion, culinary expertise, and the journey from ingredient to plate, we created a visual narrative that resonated with their target audience. The resulting imagery not only elevated Garnish Catering's brand identity but also attracted a new wave of clients seeking a truly customized dining experience.
case study: Garnish Catering
Garnish Catering, a Cincinnati based event catering company, was struggling to attract their ideal clientele. Their existing brand imagery failed to accurately represent their culinary expertise and passion for crafting unique dining experiences. Outdated visuals and inconsistent food photography were misaligning with their target market, leading to a disconnect between their brand and potential clients.
Garnish Catering's investment in professional photography and creative direction has proven to be a catalyst for growth.
The new visuals have not only enhanced their online presence, but also strengthened their brand reputation. By aligning their brand with their culinary philosophy, Garnish Catering is now positioned as a premier choice for discerning clients seeking unforgettable dining experiences.
"Samantha’s thoughtful interview process was enlightening." said Chris, owner of Garnish Catering. "I honestly felt our creative flow come through in her words. When the day came for our photoshoot, she had a plan in place, and we started instantaneously.”
