It all started with a simple idea during our monthly call: bring one of our client’s most loved conserves (and our personal favourite) to life through a video inspired by the world of James Bond, since it’s mentioned in one of the novels 💛🍸

From the very beginning, we were all in. From tracking down props straight out of the book to crafting that iconic 1950s Bond atmosphere, this video was created to feel timeless, bold, and a little bit mysterious.

This is the kind of storytelling we love creating, where product meets narrative 😍✨ and if you’re a James Bond fan, we would love to hear your thoughts 👀

The perfect breakfast is here! 🥪🤤 Delicious sandwich stack with cheese, bacon and egg, served alongside sautéed mushrooms, cooked tomato, and baked beans. A classic with a twist 😉

I had so much fun styling this scene, embracing the vintage/country vibe of the backdrops. I also used a gold reflector to achieve that warm “yellow” look I love, something my old light couldn’t do. Also, huge shoutout to Maurizio for nailing the perfect egg for this shoot - it’s not definitely AI 😂

This Mother’s Day project for Tiptree was all about a feeling - soft, romantic, and effortlessly indulgent. A breakfast in bed scene created to highlight the richness, textures, and colours of their products, brought together through art direction, styling, and editing.

There’s something special about turning simple products into a story you can almost taste ✨ 🌸 storytelling

I’ve always been captivated by the rich tones of brown, and what better way to capture its essence than with chocolate? This time, I’m celebrating the delightful combination of decadent chocolate and vibrant blood oranges. As many of you noticed, my personal projects back in January were inspired by the citrusy charm of these fruits, perfect for brightening the cold months.

With this gallery, I wish everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day! 💖 It’s a reminder to celebrate your loved ones every day, not just today. But today, you might want to do something a little extra special. If you’re feeling adventurous, try making this chocolate and blood orange tart at home.

Can’t believe it’s already halfway through November, how did that happen?! 😅 December is just around the corner, and I guess it’s officially time to start sprinkling a bit of festive content into the feed 🎄✨

At the moment, I’m deep into editing 10 stop motions and planning the shoot for next week, so there’s not much time left to create any fresh Christmas projects for now…

That said, I still have a few availability slots left in December (before the 20th) - so if your brand needs some last minute content or you’re already planning your winter campaigns, I’d love to help bring your ideas to life ❤️

📩 Drop me a message and let’s chat!

Ps: Since Facebook doesn’t allow me to upload photos and videos together, you can watch the stop motions here https://www.instagram.com/p/DQ6Y54yiDSR/?igsh=cDM2dHN5dDVpczdy 📹

New client on the grid! ✨

I had the pleasure of collaborating with Simon Howie Butchers, creating 3 delicious recipes featuring their black pudding 🖤
Now, confession time - I’ve never been a huge fan of black pudding… until now! Working with their products completely changed my mind. Every recipe turned out so tasty that I will definitely be making them again!

Here’s is the video recipe for black pudding potato hash 🍳 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPd1YMUiKcU/?igsh=MXV0eGJidzA4aG41Ng==
it’s the perfect dish to share for breakfast or brunch with your loved ones. You can find the full recipe on Simon Howie’s website.

Happy anniversary to me ✨

In July 2025, my business turned 5 years old. I didn't celebrate because I don't consider it a real anniversary, given that when I started in 2020, I was still working full-time as a sales assistant, and to be honest, everything seemed so uncertain. I had no idea how things would turn out.

But then, in September 2021, I took the leap and went full time with my business. And just yesterday, it marked 4 years of doing this full time. 4 years! I still can’t believe it sometimes. I feel so grateful to be able to call what I love my job ❤️

Of course, it hasn’t always been easy - the challenges are big, the doubts even bigger. But the moment I pick up my camera for a shoot, everything changes. I’m reminded why I do this, and I’m so proud of myself. I have big dreams, important goals, and so much more to learn - but that’s the beauty of the journey ☺️

I want to say thank you to all my clients who have trusted me with your beautiful (and delicious) products - it’s been a pleasure to create for you. To everyone who has followed along and supported my journey these past 5 years. To my parents and everyone who believed in me. And most of all, to my partner, who has supported my vision and lifted me up through the hardest times - I couldn’t have done it without you ❤️

Here’s to 5 years in business, and to the next 5! 🥂

Happy September everyone 🍂

I can’t believe summer is already gone… and judging by what I see outside my window today, it’s definitely true - it’s been raining non-stop since midday and the forecast doesn’t look any better ☔️

So let’s welcome this new month with a little comfort: the season of blankets, cosy afternoons, hot chocolate, and warm soups has officially begun 🍄‍🟫🥧
