Hi, I’m Jessica!

Every brand has a unique story to tell and I love capturing that story through beautifully crafted imagery.

With more than a decade of industry experience as an editorial and commercial food photographer in Birmingham Alabama, I’ve had the privilege of working with clients like Southern Living, AllRecipes, Food & Wine, Warner Brothers, Tazo Tea, In the Raw, Wyler’s Light, Fancy Sprinkles, DAK’s Spices, and more. My work has been showcased on billboards, local morning shows, and radio segments.

More about me

My journey into food photography began in my grandma’s kitchen in Mississippi. As a child, I would sprawl out on the floor, engrossed in watching her cook and pouring over the food photography in the magazines she bought. These early experiences sparked a passion for culinary adventures, guiding me to where I am today as a professional food photographer.

Nowadays, I create scrumptious recipes and photography for digital magazines and I’ve carved out a niche in drink photography and drink videography, and my TikTok following of over 100k is a testament to the appeal of my fancy cocktails, mocktails, coffee drinks, and tea blends. I love taking bright, fresh, vivid photos, creating video content, and developing recipes for modern drink and drink-adjacent brands. Liquor and its Non-alcoholic counterparts, juice, tea, coffee, glassware, and anything that could be added to one of those beverages is my jam, and my drink photography *pops* on my clients’ websites and social media. 

I shoot all my drink photos and videos and develop recipes in my home studio in Birmingham, Alabama. When I’m not developing, making, photographing, and taste-testing fancy drinks, you can find me writing poetry and fiction, watching Unwrapped orThe Barefoot Contessa, taking long walks with my dog, Todd, and spending time with my partner.
