For this project, I created a photo and video content library for Baires Home, a cozy Argentinian café located on East Burnside Street in Portland.
The session focused on capturing the full café experience: Argentine empanadas, milanesas, smoothies, alfajores, dulce de leche pastries, specialty products, and the warm details that make the space feel welcoming and unique.
As part of the shoot, I also created a variety of short vertical videos for the owner to share on social media. These videos help showcase the café’s atmosphere, food, products, and everyday customer experience in a quick, engaging way.
Before the shoot, we planned the type of content Baires Home needed most: food photos, product details, café atmosphere, lifestyle moments, and short videos for Instagram and promotions.
During the session, I captured a mix of:
The shoot included some of their signature Argentinian items, such as empanadas, milanesas, traditional desserts, smoothies, and specialty products available at the café.
The final content library gave Baires Home a collection of professional photos and videos they can use to showcase their café, promote their menu, and create a stronger, more consistent online presence.
This type of Full Brand Shoot is ideal for cafés, restaurants, bakeries, food shops, and local businesses that need more than a few individual images. It creates a complete set of visual assets that can be used over time for social media, websites, menus, launches, and marketing campaigns.
