Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with Vallarta Supermarkets

Vallarta Supermarkets has trusted us with their food photography for signage, in-store, and online, and we were excited to shoot for Hispanic Heritage Month at their headquarters location.

THE FOOD COMES FIRST

This campaign is about home cooking: the dishes families make for each other. We prepped and styled every plate in-house, then let the food lead. Generous portions, real texture, and plenty of fresh garnish so each dish looks like it just came off the stove.

COLOR WITH MEANING

We styled the plates on deep blue and teal linens, with warm wood underneath. The colors make the food glow and give the campaign a festive look without distracting from the dishes.

BUILT FOR A DESIGNER

Vallarta's in-house designer builds the final layouts, so we deliver every image uncropped with room to breathe. That gives her the freedom to crop the same file for a window poster, a shelf tag, a social post, or a web banner.

A LONG-RUNNING PARTNERSHIP

Vallarta found us through a simple Google search for a food photographer, and we have been shooting their seasonal campaigns ever since. Each one builds on the last, so the brand's food photography stays consistent from Hispanic Heritage Month to the holidays.
