The client goal was to design a cocktail booklet for their customers: (bartenders, restaurant owners, and $21 Sunday-brunch-mimosa drinkers), inspired by the city of LA.

Juniper, lime, lemon verbana.

Hibiscus, clove, orange (my favorite flavor).

 

Sumac, chili, lime.

Lemon, lavender.

 

I used color, shape, and texture to highlight the vibrancy of California’s botanicals and the explosive fruity flavor of the mixers (also geometric fruits were trending on IG). I meticulously cut and styled the fruit in each composition.

Lifestyle Photography

 
 

For the lifestyle shoot, I wanted to tell a intimate, fun, yet relaxing story: perhaps a young couple’s chic and cozy weekend in, or a picnic at the beach, or brunch and cocktails with friends.
