A closer look

This La Crème Delight collection pairs a berry waffle topped with ice cream with two portraits of me against the café’s flower wall. I photographed the dessert; William Thomason photographed the portraits.

What connects the photographs

The dessert detail and playful portraits offer different ways to describe a visit. Their separate credits make clear which photographs demonstrate my food work and which show my modeling.

Inside the images

Three things to notice

01

The waffle and ice cream provide the food detail I photographed.

02

The flower wall establishes a recognizable portrait backdrop.

03

William Thomason’s portraits add expression and a lifestyle perspective.

How this approach could work for you

For a café or dessert brief, a focused food image can sit alongside people enjoying the setting. I would plan those roles and the final uses together before the session.

Before a session, we can talk through what you need the photographs to communicate, where they will be used and the moments that matter most. From there, we can shape a shot list and a pace that fit the project.
