Tijuana Flats

Bold Food — Spicy Images

Tijuana Flats' bold graphic style isn't just a design choice — it's a strategic brand language, and every food photograph is built to live inside it. Vivid color palettes, dynamic compositions, and crave-worthy styling combine to create images that feel at home across digital advertising, social media campaigns, in-restaurant POP displays, OOH and promotional print materials.

From loaded burritos and smothered enchiladas to craveable queso and LTO creations that push the flavor envelope, each shot is crafted to make the food the hero — colorful, bold, and impossible to ignore. I collaborate with a skilled team of food stylists and assistants to produce high-impact advertising photography for Tijuana Flats' promotional menu items that create urgency, drive traffic, and give guests a reason to come back and try something new.

Fast casual food photography demands creativity, precision, and a deep understanding of brand voice. With Tijuana Flats, the brand voice is clear: turn it up!

As a Seattle-based tabletop director and food photographer, I specialize in commercial food and beverage photography and video production for restaurant and CPG brands. From a slow-motion queso pour to the vibrant splash of a Desert Pear Aqua Fresca, I bring bold Tex-Mex flavors and drinks to life on screen and in print — from concept and storyboard through final delivery. If your brand runs loud and your food runs hot, let's make something that turns heads.
