Ten years shooting food for brands. Now I cook it too.

I'm the face behind @katsbalancedlife, and food is the thing I think about before most people have had their coffee - what's in season, what's in the fridge, what a brand's whole story actually tastes like. I partner with food and drink brands on sponsored content across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube - a recipe built around your product, a lifestyle moment it fits into, or both. I shoot on my camera or on my phone, whichever the platform calls for. Some of it lives in my own feed; some of it is built entirely in your brand's voice, for your channels only. I work with brands directly and through PR agencies, on everything from a single post to a full campaign. The part I like best: no two brands want their story told the same way.

What I can do for you

Pick one, or the whole thing - from a sponsored post on my own feed to fully produced assets for yours.

Sponsored content

Posts and Stories on my own channels - your product woven into a real recipe or a real day.

Videos & Reels

Vertical videos for Instagram and TikTok - lifestyle, recipe or story-led - plus longer edits for YouTube and web.

Recipe development

Original recipes built around your product, tested properly, written so people actually cook them.

UGC & ad creative

Native-feeling content - organic or paid, recipe or lifestyle. The kind you don't clock as an ad.

How it works

Brief

You tell me the product, the platform and the deadline. I come back with a quote and a concept.

Develop

Recipe testing and a shot list, signed off before anything is shot.

Shoot

Photography and video in one session - on camera or on iPhone, whichever suits the brief - in my London kitchen or on location.

Deliver

Edited, retouched, formatted per platform, with usage rights agreed up front.
