Featured Food Photography – Vegan Christmas Cookies & Cocoa Cookbook

This gallery features the holiday food photography created for Vegan Christmas Cookies & Cocoa by Audrey Dunham - a festive, plant-based cookbook filled with irresistible cookies, cozy cocoa recipes, and nostalgic seasonal treats. Photographed in Los Angeles, this project highlights Vanessa Stump’s expertise in cookbook food photography, capturing the warmth, texture, and playful holiday spirit behind every recipe.

From sparkling sugar cookies and gooey chocolate indulgences to rich, dairy-free hot cocoa topped with whipped cream and seasonal spices, each image was styled to feel inviting, joyful, and mouthwateringly delicious. The visual approach focused on showcasing the recipes’ vegan ingredients, vibrant colors, and handcrafted details - creating holiday imagery that feels both elevated and approachable.

Designed for cookbook pages, marketing, and digital promotion, this gallery demonstrates how professional food photography can transform a recipe collection into an immersive experience. If you’re a cookbook author, publisher, chef, or food brand seeking high-quality vegan food photography, this project illustrates how intentional styling and expert lighting help every recipe shine.
