Food photographer in New Jersey: what's included. Four ways to book it.
Shot in your kitchen during off hours.
Every package includes a personalized proofing gallery and a written quote before you book, with a 50 percent deposit to hold the date.
As a food photographer in New Jersey, we shoot one dish while the next is plated, so service is never held up waiting on the camera, and you approve the look on screen before the rest of the menu is shot. Files arrive cropped for menus, your website, and delivery-platform listings, so nothing needs a second round of editing before it goes live. Most menu shoots are booked two to three weeks out, and standard turnaround is five business days from the shoot.
Menu shots
Every dish on a consistent angle and background, sized for delivery apps, menus, and third party listings.
Hero dishes
One or two signature plates styled and lit for your homepage, print ads, and window graphics.
Bar and drinks
Cocktails, coffee, and wine pours shot with backlight so glass and ice read clearly.
Room and staff
Dining room, bar, and working kitchen shots that show people what walking in feels like.
Food we have shot. Real sessions, real clients.
