Welcome to Velvet & Vinegar

“There is no love sincerer than the love of food.”
– George Bernard Shaw

Food Photography Switzerland Bern

Food has always been my love language. Long before I picked up a camera, I was the child stirring imaginary flower soups in my grandfather’s garden, helping my mum bake Christmas cookies and spending rainy afternoons leafing through cookbooks as if they were treasure maps. Some people collect stamps. Others collect shoes. I collected food memories. The smell of freshly baked cake cooling on the kitchen counter. Family lunches that somehow always tasted better at Grandma’s house. Summer berries stained on fingertips. The comforting sound of a spoon scraping the bottom of a mixing bowl. Those moments stayed with me.

Years later, my love for food found a new companion: photography.
What started as a creative hobby slowly turned into an obsession. Not just with food itself, but with the stories hidden inside it. The stories of family traditions, celebrations, comfort foods, quiet everyday moments and recipes passed down from one generation to the next. Today, I’m an award-winning commercial and editorial food & drink photographer and recipe developer based in Switzerland. I create photography and video content for food and beverage brands, magazines, cookbooks, bloggers and content creators who want images that feel as good as the food tastes. In 2026, I was honoured to win the M&S Food Rising Star category at the World Food Photography Awards. My work has also been featured by CNN and Foodelia.

But at heart?
I’m still the girl who gets excited about a perfectly baked loaf of bread, beautiful morning light falling across a kitchen table and the first sip of coffee on a slow Sunday morning. When I’m not photographing food, you’ll usually find me reading, listening to The Three Investigators, taking long walks, cooking something entirely unnecessary, or spending far too much time building virtual lives in The Sims.

Why Velvet & Vinegar?

Because food is rarely just food.
It’s comfort after a difficult day. It’s birthday cakes and family traditions. It’s recipes scribbled on stained pieces of paper. It’s laughter around crowded tables. It’s the smell that instantly takes you back twenty years. Through my photography, recipes and stories, I want to celebrate those moments. The beautiful, imperfect, delicious moments that make life feel a little richer.

So pour yourself a coffee, stay a while and make yourself at home.

I’m so glad you’re here.
