Sophia DeSantis

Sophia DeSantis Photography is a food & drink photography brand in Southern California. Working both on set and remotely, I work with both big and small brands to bring their concepts to life through my brilliant photos and simple fresh style. My devotion, excitement and skill seamlessly blend with the passion that brands bring. I strive to tell the story and process behind the brand, not just capture the final product. I take pride in my sociable nature, attention to detail and ability to easily adapt to any situation. I strive to go beyond all expectations in everything I do! I have worked with many brands and have also been featured in both print and online, along with photographing my first cookbook, Vegan Burgers & Burritos which published in November of 2017. Services I offer: Food styling Prop styling Professional photography Editing Recipe development I would love to work together to create something remarkable!

As a client-centered health coach, plant-based recipe creator and food photographer, I focus on helping people feel empowered instead of overwhelmed when it comes to overall health and wellness. I teach that small habits can lead to big changes. I helped my husband better his heart health by completely changing our family's diet, under the guidance of his cardiologist. I did this with a newborn and a 1-year-old, so I know what it's like to make a health change in the midst of chaos. Being a teacher for 14 years, and getting my master’s degree in education, helped me understand that each person is unique in how they learn, and there is no one size fits all approach. I now have "retired" from my teaching job and run my business full time while navigating life with 3 young boys. Through Veggies Don’t Bite and my popular podcast, Real Food Real Conversations, I strive to help people find what works for their personal health and wellness! My philosophy in helping others is built on the following: ✅ Food is only ONE piece of overall health & wellness ✅ Wellness is not just the absence of disease, it’s a continuum we are constantly moving on ✅ Change won’t happen until you decide to do it ✅ Small steps that align with your values will get you to your goals faster than big leaps ✅ You are the expert in your own life, don’t be afraid to live how you want even if it’s against the grain
