Hi hi hello

In 2017, I wrote my last “warm regards” kind of email as an account manager for a big software company. I left everything I’d known for a decade to become my own boss, to hone my craft as a photographer, to follow the strongest passion I have ever known. It was a long time coming—photography and graphic design had been the “side hustle” for a while— but to take the leap was invigorating, and terrifying, and exactly what I needed.

Since then, I have thought about food photography every single day. I have spent hours upon hours fine tuning my photography skills, cooking new and more intricate things, and adding unique and eye catching pieces to my prop collection.

In turn, AllieBeau Creative has gone from one-woman photo and design shop of all persuasions, to an expertly executed food and drink photography studio. I’d love to work on your next project, big or small.

We Call it the Food Stüd

It’s where the magic happens

Offering Chicagoland and beyond access to a carefully curated collection of, well, stuff

From photography backdrops to cooking equipment— there isn’t much we don’t have. Smoker? Check. Sous Vide? Yep. Marble surface? I’ve got three options for ya.

Whatever your brand aesthetic, we have the props to compliment your vision.
