Production & Food Styling Services

  • We’re just as excited as you are to bring your vision to life! To help allow us get a full understanding of the scope and scale of your project, we’ll ask you to complete our intake form (if we think it’s necessary based on our initial understanding of your project!). Please get in touch and we’ll take things from there.

  • Each client’s needs are wildly different, so once we learn your goals and vision, we’ll create a detailed custom proposal tailored to meet your requirements. If you have a budget set aside for your project, let us know, and we’d be happy to let you know what we might be able to create for you!

    Our projects are broken down based on how long the scope of work will take to execute:

    Pre Production: client communication and meetings, recipe development, concept design, shot list planning, set prep, prop and food sourcing

    Production or Shoot Day(s)

    Post Production: retouching and revisions, archiving

    Project Expenses: props, food ingredients, materials, talent hire

    Usage and Licensing: we offer 3 years of organic social media and website usage.

  • Absolutely, yes! You’re the producers, we’re the food, set, and prop stylists, or photographers and videographers you’re looking for - from large film productions to small local shoots.

  • While we’re located in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, we offer our services to clients across Toronto and the GTA, North America, and remotely across the globe. We’ll also travel for an on location project if it’s a good fit!

  • Both!

    From the comfort of our studio, we’ve created assets for cookbooks, packaging, and ad campaigns for brands, local and all around the world. If you’re a product based brand, and can ship the product to us, we’re good to go! We’ve dialed in our workflow with powerful technology to make working together super easy. You can be in a boardroom across the world approving images while we’re handling all the details in-studio.

    We also travel locally and across the globe for clients!

  • Most of our clients use the shiny new content we create for them on their website and social media. With this understanding, we include a 3 year organic social media and website usage in all our projects. Content does not need to be taken down after this point, it just can’t be used in new posting. We retain the copyright to our content.

    If you need expanded usage, such as product packaging, billboards, digital advertisement, copyright ownership, or if you need a 3rd party usage license (sharing with other businesses, grocery or retail stores etc.), this can be included in our initial quote or down the road if needed. Just let us know what you need!

  • We have an extensive prop collection from years of set styling (and, ahem, a love of thrifting). For any additional items that may need to be purchased in order to make your dream content a reality, we ask clients to have a prop and ingredient budget. We’ll gladly schlep across town to source props and ingredients and add it to our final invoice. If you’d like the props once the project is complete, we can definitely send them your way!
