Bri’s Food Photography Brand Mini

Bri owns Real Smooth Foods, a smoothie and coffee shop at Junction City in Peoria, Illinois. They are focused on making eating healthy, whole foods and getting necessary nutrients simple.

They create homemade spreads, protein bars, fruit + veggie packed smoothies, and coffees made with simple ingredients.

Someone purchased a brand mini session for me to give away, which Bri won!

It turns out Bri’s brother was one of my grooms from a few years ago! The world can be so small sometimes.

Food Product Photography - Spreads + Bars

We mostly focused on shooting her products and some more fun shots that incorporated fruits and veggies that are used in Real Smooth Foods’ smoothies and spreads. We also got in a few fresh headshots. Because, who doesn’t need a fresh headshot??

This mini session was perfect to give Bri photos to give her social media a boost and have the professional photos she needs to portray her business as It is.

Headshots + Food Photography

The lighting at Bri’s shop wasn’t the most conducive for photos, so she brought the important bits with her to my studio and we made some serious magic.

It was a blast to experiment and play with how food photographs and how we can show Real Smooth Foods visually.

This was one of my first food photography brand shoots, and it was so fun to explore with Bri!
