I love to make food look as beautiful as possible and am always excited to work with brands to achieve that! However, I am not a professional food photographer and would rather spend time developing, cooking and eating recipes, than hours styling them. That’s why my process shots might look a bit questionable sometimes. I like to think that what you see on my posts is exactly the result that you will get. No photographers magic here (except a little Lightroom).
I currently use an secondhand Canon EOS 5D fitted with a 50mm 1.8 lens, although I’m hoping to upgrade to the 1.4 soon! I have a dedicated area by my front window that is the permanent home to my backdrops, linens and props.
I am constantly trying to perfect my photography but like everything in life, perfection is both unattainable AND subjective, so I’m just happy if I get a few shots before my food gets cold!
You can follow my food on Instagram here, join my Facebook group here and don’t forget to subscribe to ensure that you never miss a recipe 🙂

Meet Freya
I currently live in the wilder climbs of Essex and love nothing more than visiting food markets, old bookshops and trying out the latest vegan and plant-based products. I love to cook for my other half, Tim, who has an egg intolerance (let’s not mention the details here), and my friends who always give me honest opinions on my bakes.
When I’m not working, I spend most of my free time trying to keep my plant family alive, photographing food (which is always cold by the time I get to eat it!) and listening to true crime podcasts.
I am obsessed with old cookbooks and find them a wealth of inspiration. I love taking an old recipe and making it plant-based, it’s so satisfying.
