Keep hospitality human.

These days, so many people can be replaced with much better efficiency.

But if perfection becomes our collective goal we need to understand what we are really giving up.

Think of how many people you interact with on a daily basis. The cashier you chat to about the weather or their kids.
The mailman you wave to and thank every day.
The front desk woman at your kids school who never forgets to ask about your sick family member.

All of that could be gone.

Think of the mental repercussions.

My dad hitch hiked from school to home without his mom finding out at like 10.

THIS generation has a hard time making eye contact with adults and can't order on their own at restaurants.

And that isn't even the youngest generation being exposed to AI.

In hospitality, I can tell you with 100% certainty I don't want to be greeted by a robot, cooked for by a robot, small talk with a robot...it's painful to even consider.

But that's what we will get if we are seeking perfection now. Life will look and feel very different.

Keep Hospitality Human.

Morning mantra: I GOT THAT DAWG IN ME.

Aka: you have a relentless, competitive drive, grit, and the will to keep pushing or fighting long after others would quit.

Most people who own a food or beverage based business prefer to be back of house, if you know what I mean.

Getting in front of a camera feels weird and foreign. It feels vulnerable. It feels terrifying.

Trust me. I get it.

But what I ALSO get is that when I was growing my donut business it really took off when I decided to be the visible person behind the business instead of the invisible one hiding behind piles of cute stacks of donuts so I don't have to show my face.

But I promise you, from experience...I know how much your customers want to know you.

They want to know your story. Get a peek into your life behind the scenes. They want to support you when you're down and cheer for you when you're UP.

Your people want to be YOUR people.

Lots coming up that a campaign can help you market!

Some ideas of campaigns for restaurants- tailored to your brand and menu of course:

+ Thanksgiving: Simplified. Expecting to do some catering for Thanksgiving? We can shoot some hero spreads of ready-to-reheat trays; close-up pour shots of gravies, glazes, and pie slices; simple pickup-box flat lays.

+ Gift card push (gifting season is upon us!) Tactile, punchy visuals: gift card tucked into custom merch, bag of seasonal beans paired with a ceramic mug, branded retail shelves.

+ That Healthy Push for 2027- You know it's coming...new years resolutions. Get ahead of it and let's shoot those healthier dishes so you can be front of mind.

+ The slow season- January and February can be painfully slow for restaurants. People are recovering from the holidays so coming up with some specials, some soup/sandwich combos, wintery vibes inside of your space, bakery case peeks in morning light etc. Don't wait until slow season to get on top of it.

+ Date Night/Valentines/Galentines: You should know what you're offering for valentines/Galentines by November/December. Sensual, high-contrast plating: dark sauces, dessert cross-sections, craft cocktails with garnished rims and distinct lighting.

+ Early Spring: When the world starts to defrost and people start to be more open to dining outside you'll already have patio shots/fresh menu options and seasonal drink shots.

The goal of campaigns is to make sure you're prepared ahead of time. It may feel ridiculous to shoot Valentines in November but the big guys are sometimes a YEAR ahead or more! It's never too early to be prepared! Use that Q4 budget to save yourself a headache in a few months.

You'll hear me talking about how my editing style is what my client needs it to be and this is an example of that!

When you go to Lebanon Public House the vibe is sexy, the lighting is moody, the whole experience is just...unique!

So light and bright wouldn't work here. Kara wanted some shots of what it looked and felt like to BE there. Images that created a feeling before customers even walked through the door.

Can't wait to share the ones she shares to help paint a picture of what it's like to be a guest at Lebanon Public House- for now, here are some delicious drinks with the lighting you can expect when you walk through the door.

Have you been?! Delicious drinks, incredible small plates for sharing, and dessert collab with Kelly Chandler- Sole proprietor and owner. Date nights, ladies night, after work drinks...Lebanon is lucky to have them.

If you work with me, you know I LOVE a stack. A cross section stack is even more enjoyable 😂😂.
