MINI OCCASIONS COOKBOOK
WITH NORA FLEMING
“I knew I wanted to work with Regan as soon as we sat down to brainstorm concepts and ideas for our entertaining/cookbook. Photography, like the other arts, has a unique power to illicit very emotional responses within people. I knew right away that Regan’s style would be the perfect compliment to our brand style. Regan is so gifted at holding true to her artistic look while also respecting and elevating the brands she is working with. I am so grateful that she chose to be on the Mini Occasion team, the book would not be half of what it is without her. ”

WIMCO VILLAS, CARIBBEAN
“We approached Regan Baroni for a food centric magazine shoot in St. Barths. I was immediately drawn to her styling and use of color against dark and light. I reached out via her website, she got back to me within the day, and we arranged the whole trip swiftly. It was the most stress free planning of a shoot to date, and she paid close attention to deliverables. On a personal note, she is an extremely warm person, diligent, and client-focused. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any photography project.”

“Regan’s food images capture the ooey gooey, drizzly and crumbly cooking process so beautifully we can almost smell and taste her images. And while she is a photographer by trade, and clearly a talented one at that, we have to say her food styling skills are equally as impressive — her dishes look realistic, rustic and aspirational at once.”

THE LUCKY MONK
“What Regan can do with food is a gift. I have worked with many photographers in the past, and no one captures color, light and mood like she can. She creates shots that evoke style, energy and individuality through her creative vision of seeing food in a way that most people don’t.”

VIE
“We needed updated photos of our restaurant and tasked Regan with capturing the warm, elegant and professional atmosphere we strive for at Vie. A tall order, especially considering the long wish list of shots we gave her. Simply put: Regan’s photographs went above and beyond our expectations. She is incredibly easy to work with and really listened to what we were hoping to get from the photo shoot. Because of Regan’s standout work, we’ve been able to overhaul our website, ads and other marketing activities, better reflecting Vie’s “personality.” We really appreciate her creative compositions that have just the right amount of good drama and look forward to working with Regan again soon.”

“Regan captures food in a way that tells a story of warmth, complexity and beauty. Her style makes my pastries stand out from my competitors and her art direction background is invaluable when planning shots for different formats like web or storefront. Her expertise and creativity is why I have had her photograph pastries for both of my bakeries.”

THE HOP REVIEW
“Regan’s work speaks for itself. Her sense of composition, contrast, perspective and mood is a refreshing take on subject matter that is often tricky to reinvent. We had the pleasure of collaborating on a piece for a Chicago brewery, and her attitude and approach was confident, and infectious. She was able to intertwine impressive spacial images with vignettes and portraits – in a way that was truly hers.”

THE KITTCHEN
“I have worked with Regan several times. I instantly fell in love with her photography style. She is able to shoot moody dark shots with incredible contrast and detail, as well as the light and bright images that are so trendy. She is creative and professional and the photos she took for my website, thekittchen.com, are some of my favorites. In addition, I hired Regan to teach a photography workshop and she was able to provide workshop attendees with game changing photography tips in just 2 hours. Regan is talented, kind, and someone that I am happy to work with again and again.”

JAR SESSIONS
“When we launched Jar Sessions and our first collection of jars, we immediately turned to Regan to help us tell the Jar Sessions story. Not only did she give us perfectly shot product pictures, but she also delivered beautifully styled food photos that show how Jar Sessions can be used in recipes and dishes. Regan is meticulous in understanding client needs, and she masterfully balances being both thorough and efficient during shoots.”
