Diaspora Co.

A mix of lifestyle and product photos for Oakland-based spice company, Diaspora Co, with prop styling by Jillian Knox. The whole Diaspora Co. team (pictured below) brought the good energy and helped create a festive Diwali spread. I love seeing the journey of this small business —they’ve grown from carrying their hero spice, turmeric, to carrying an ever-expanding collection of spices, collaborations, and masala dabbas!

Food & Wine Magazine - Hetal Vasavada of Milk & Cardamom

I’m proud to share this festive shoot published in Food & Wine, featuring blogger and cookbook author, Hetal Vasavada of Milk & Cardamom. She baked up these color and delicious treats inspired by Diwali, the Indian festival of lights that takes place in November. I loved the use of decorative flowers and gold that feels so celebratory and special.
