Hey friend!

I'm Danielle. I'm so happy that you're here!

I am a freelance food photographer and recipe developer living in the beautiful Midwest. I have created hundreds of recipes for bloggers and brands all over the US and Canada. My clients range from niche food blogs to top-tier online publishers reaching millions of readers a month. Before transitioning to full-time photography work, I owned my own food blog and worked as a lawyer.

I absolutely love to cook, and take great pride in my work. If you purchase a recipe from me, you can rest assured that it has been thoroughly tested and perfected for your audience!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I buy a recipe?

Buying a recipe in my shop is easy!

  1. Find the perfect recipe for your readers.
  2. Add the recipe to your cart and pay for the recipe.
  3. Check your email to instantly download your recipe photos and a Word document with your professionally written recipe.

If you are interested in a custom recipe that is not currently available in my shop, please email me at danielleelainephoto@gmail.com for my pricing guide.

What is included in my purchase?

Please read each listing in my shop carefully for a description of what is included.

Generally, each purchase includes:

  1. A high resolution photo package that includes an ingredients photo, step-by-step process photos, and 10-15 photos of the finished dish ("hero photos").
  2. A professionally written recipe document with a comprehensive list of ingredients and detailed instructions for making the recipe. All recipes are run through Copyscape's plagiarism checker.
  3. Descriptive text, notes, and tips about the recipe to help your readers recreate it with success.
  4. Full copyrights to the purchased images. I retain a license to use the photos for my portfolio and photography website.

What is an exclusive versus a semi-exclusive recipe?

I sell both exclusive and semi-exclusive content in my recipe shop.

Exclusive recipes are sold to only one blogger. The photos and recipe document are unique. These recipes are more expensive, but the exclusivity can increase your return on investment.

Semi-exclusive recipes are sold to two or three different bloggers. The recipe document and process photos are shared. Each set of the recipe will include unique hero photos (photos of the finished dish) with different backdrops, linens, tableware and styling items. Because they are shared, these recipes are more affordable.

All products in my shop are clearly labeled as either exclusive or semi-exclusive in the product title and listing. If the recipe is a semi-exclusive, it will include a note about how many sets are being sold.

Do I own the copyright to photos I purchase?

Yes!

Upon purchase, I transfer copyright to all unique purchased images to you. You may use the photos on your website and social media, on products you create, or for any reason for your business or personal use. You may sell the photos to another blogger if you decide not to use them.

As the photographer, I retain a license to use all photos for the purpose of marketing and building my photography business. That includes, for example, using them in my portfolio and newsletter, and on this website.

Do you create all the recipes yourself?

Yes!

I know that the reputation of your business depends on high quality, unique content. You can rest assured that all the recipes you purchase from me are:

  1. Tested and perfected by me in my own kitchen.
  2. Written in my own words with specific, easy-to-follow instructions, notes and tips. 
  3. Copyscape checked to ensure no inadvertent plagiarism.
  4. Photographed by me in my home studio.

It is my professional guarantee that any recipe you buy from me is my original work.

Please note that it is widely accepted in the industry that classic recipes will be similar across food publishers. If you order chocolate chip cookies or a mojito cocktail recipe from my store, it will likely have the same ingredients and general process as other recipes on the internet. Lists of ingredients are not protected by copyright, and you have just as much right to publish simple, classic recipes as anyone else. My aim with these recipes is to ensure that the recipe is perfected, the writing is unique, and the photos are scroll-stopping, so that your mojito stands out from the pack!

Recipe Guarantee and Refunds

Due to the digital nature of my products, all sales are final, and I cannot offer refunds. However, I stand behind my work, and if there is ever a problem with your purchased recipe, please email me at danielleelainephoto@gmail.com so I can make it right!
