Beth & Jord here!
We’re photographers, videographers, food stylists, creative directors, and professional problem-solvers who have somehow managed to turn our love of food, creativity, and making things look really, really good into a business.
WELCOME TO FOODY FIRST.
**hang around long enough,
and you might meet our cats, too.
AS A CREATIVE PRODUCTION HOUSE,
We specialize in food, beverage, CPG, and hospitality brands.
From the initial idea to the final image or video, we handle the creative heavy lifting. Art direction, food & prop styling, photography, video, recipe development, stop motion, content creation, and retouching - all under one roof.
Because your brand doesn’t need more content just for the sake of having more content. It needs the right content. The kind that makes someone stop scrolling, get hungry, book a table, or choose your product over the one sitting beside it.
THAT’S WHAT WE’RE HERE FOR.
We work closely with marketing teams, brand managers, founders, and agencies to create visual content that looks beautiful and has a job to do. Sometimes that means building an entire set from scratch, making a piece of peanut butter & honey toast look like the most important piece of toast in the world, or spending an unreasonable amount of time getting one milk pour just right.
We’re a small husband-and-wife creative duo, which means you’re working directly with the people actually making your project happen. No disappearing into a sea of departments - just Beth, Jord, our little family, and a whole lot of creative problem-solving.
Yes, our team may be small, but can we boast for a sec? Our production capacity is right there alongside larger, multi-team agencies. We’ve created television commercials, billboards, product packaging imagery, and visual campaigns for multinational brands, as well as viral recipe reels for household-name brands - all with the same hands-on care and creative problem-solving we bring to every project.
SO, THAT’S US!
You bring the brand. We’ll bring the ideas, the styling, the cameras, the creativity, and probably way too many props.
Welcome to the family!
LET’S MAKE SOMETHING REALLY GOOD.
