My job as a food stylist takes me all over the country, and occasionally, internationally. 

We shot this one in Los Angeles.

We, when I say ‘we’, I mean myself and my team. My full-time assistant, who happens to be my daughter, BONUS! And, I hire an assistant who is local in L.A

One of my clients is Hormel.

We have done seven of these cute commercials for Hormel over the last four years. They all have the multi-talented Judy Greer in them. They are comedic commercials, and Judy is the best person for that job. 

We prep for two days, this includes a ‘show and tell’. Each time we start a new project, we make the sandwiches and meet with the client and the Ad agency to show them the final product for approval before shoot day, so that there is nor confusion and no hold ups. 

We generally shoot for two days, and can get three spots done. 

I will also have the Art Department available to help me with dishes and props. We collaborate and then they do all the shopping for them. 

It’s nice to only have to worry about the food. On a big project like this, that’s enough!
