Let’s Call It Summer Already

We're nearly there. It's been a long winter and a lingering spring. The light lasts a little longer each night, the produce is getting brighter, and the air is starting to hum with that unmistakable summer energy.

This series captures the essence of a summer afternoon, unhurried, sun-drenched, and filled with moments of abundance. A table set with early summer's best: grilled eggplant, green tomato stacks, blackberries, figs, hummus, and ribbons of squash. All bathed in summer's light and styled with an ease that feels instinctive.

The table invites you to stay. The light lingers. And the rhythm of the day slows. This is a season that asks us to pause and savor. This kind of imagery doesn't just showcase food; it creates a sense of place. It stirs memory, sets a tone, and fosters connection. For cookbooks and food & beverage brands looking to create content that stands out and resonates, this is the kind of visual storytelling that delivers.

Whether you're planning a campaign, launching a product, or creating content for editorial, packaging, or digital platforms, this is the season to lean into richness. More texture, more mood, more of what makes your audience stop and feel.
