Hi, I'm Paula, welcome to my virtual home. I'm a former pastry chef turned food anthropologist & writer, constantly working with many angles of food from recipe development, food photography & styling. I'm a preservation geek and food and culture educator based in Denver, Colorado. 
 
Food photography & styling is an extension of two decades of experience in food and hospitality.
My goal is to work with clients to bring their vision to life through beautiful images 
that tell their story and the story of their food.
