About

I'm Paulette... 

I create food and lifestyle imagery for hospitality brands and culinary experiences — capturing food, beverages, chefs, spaces, and stories from kitchen to garden to table

With roots in editorial and commercial work, I’ve spent years photographing chefs, dishes, dining spaces, and seasonal moments that make people feel something. I help upscale restaurants, hotels, hospitality teams, and artisan brands create styled photography that feels fresh and elevated. These images capture attention, evoke emotion, and build a visual story guests remember long after the last bite or sip, bringing atmosphere, artistry, and intention to every frame.

 

My story-driven photography supports websites, marketing, and press, helping brands show up with intention, style, and clarity. Whether you’re launching a new concept or refreshing your entire library, clients trust me to deliver clean, impactful visuals that feel timeless and natural and make you truly stand out.

​​

What I create:

  • Chef portraits that feel intimate, elevated, and on-brand

  • Signature dish, menu, and cocktail photography for marketing + promotion

  • Interiors that highlight the full guest experience and brand identity

  • Farm and garden lifestyle content that adds depth to your brand story

  • Product  photography styled with seasonal elements, created for web, social, and campaigns                                 

Based in the SF Peninsula — working throughout the Bay Area and beyond.

 If you are curious about my last name Phlipot, yes, the L actually does come before the i. It's pronounced as Flipō. 

When I’m not behind the camera or in the kitchen cooking fresh meals for my family, you’ll find me at the farmers’ market, on the beach, hiking a trail, or riding my bike.

Eat fruits and vegetables not because you're told you should, but because you want them in every sense of the word. Because they are beautiful!

 

"Back in 2008, award-winning food writer Cheryl Sternman Rule and award-winning food photographer Paulette Phlipot met at a culinary conference in New Orleans. They immediately hit it off and began brainstorming ways to work together in the months that followed. They envisioned an eye-popping and mouthwatering cookbook arranged by color, not season—such as RED (beets, cherries, radicchio, raspberries), YELLOW (bananas, corn, lemons, pineapples) and GREEN (apples, artichokes, asparagus, avocados).
