Hello! I'm Annette Slade.

With over 25 years of experience as a food, beverage, and product photographer, I feel most alive when capturing the perfect shot for my clients. 

From our first conversation, my mind starts filling with ideas for the look and feel of an image — the number of water droplets on the table, the swirl in the yogurt, the crease in the bag lying just right. It’s the carefully considered details that make your product shine above the rest.

The result of this collaborative process is imagery that conveys quality and simply can’t be overlooked.

A Seamless, Creative Experience

When we work together, I will be your dedicated collaborator. You can expect your images to represent exactly what you ask for, with special touches that make them exceptional.

My role involves selecting stylists (if needed), sourcing props and backgrounds, and thinking through lighting and composition. I tailor my approach to the specific products or menu items you have selected, with the end use of your images always top of mind.

Process

Connect

Let’s connect on a complimentary discovery call to discuss your project.

Proposal

Once we select the location and finalize an approach to fit your budget, I will prepare a proposal for you. I request a 50% deposit to book your shoot.

Prep Time

I’ll handle all the details to prepare for your shoot. I will be available to answer any questions or concerns that arise along the way.

Go Time

It's shoot day, and I’m ready to roll. You can either join me in my studio, or we’ll review images virtually. If virtual, it’s important for you to be near a good screen to preview the images.

Enjoy

I’ll edit and process your final images to your specific requirements. My goal is your 100% satisfaction. Once your images are complete and I've received your final payment, I'll send you a link to download your files.

Your Shoot... with Vision

When you work with me, you don’t just get pictures. You get your brand brought to life through the camera. Every brand has a style, a vibe, and an approach. I excel at understanding these traits and ensuring they translate beautifully in every photo.

A passion for detail and dimension

There’s something special about every photo. A story to be told. An extra-special background, or a new kind of lighting. A careful touch that makes the image stand out. I have a gift for creating photos with heart and making those details sing.

Based in Colorado, I often work with clients from across the country who ship products to my studio.

In a virtual world, it’s easier than ever to collaborate with you, no matter where you are located. We can stay in touch and connect on shoot day over Zoom.
