Vegan Thanksgiving Dinner & Pies Food Photography

There’s something timeless about a holiday meal shared around the table - and when it’s reimagined through a plant-based lens, it becomes both nostalgic and new. This featured food photography project showcases imagery created for Vegan Thanksgiving Dinner & Pies by Audrey Dunham, a cookbook filled with comforting, approachable vegan recipes inspired by classic holiday favorites.

Photographed in Los Angeles, the images highlight the warmth, texture, and joy of a homemade vegan Thanksgiving feast. From golden roasts and creamy mashed potatoes to fresh salads, roasted vegetables, and flaky pumpkin pies, each photograph was designed to capture the sensory experience of cooking and gathering.

As a Los Angeles food photographer, my goal for this project was to balance artistry with approachability - creating visuals that feel delicious, real, and emotionally resonant. Every image was styled and composed to emphasize texture, color, and light, drawing the viewer into the experience of each dish. The result is a series of photographs that not only celebrate food but also tell a story of warmth, togetherness, and tradition reinvented.

This gallery is a perfect example of how professional cookbook photography can elevate recipe collections, brand storytelling, and editorial features. It blends technical precision with heartfelt storytelling - helping readers feel inspired, confident, and connected to the recipes they’re about to make.

Whether you’re a cookbook author, food brand, or creative entrepreneur, this project reflects the level of care and consistency I bring to every shoot. Because when food photography communicates flavor and feeling, it becomes more than an image - it becomes an invitation.
