Sippin’ into Summer with Delanie’s Coffee + Hungry Jess Big City

When Delanie’s Coffee in Pittsburgh’s Southside dropped their refreshed summer drink menu, we knew it was the perfect excuse for a mini photoshoot to update the ‘gram. Bright flavors, bold drinks, and one of our favorite local foodies? Yes, please.

We teamed up with local blogger @hungryjessbigcity (Jess!) for a lifestyle-inspired shoot full of sips, smiles, and caffeine-fueled sunshine. Jess modeled and taste-tested each drink, giving us the full foodie stamp of approval… and looking absolutely radiant doing it.

So about those new featured drinks…

  • Tahitian Lime & Mint Espresso Tonic – a zingy, citrusy wake-up call that’s as gorgeous as it is refreshing (and my personal fav)

  • Strawberry Sweet Cream Matcha – the smoothest swirl of green tea, strawberry, and dreamy sweetness

  • Iced Matcha Lemonade – tart, bright, and made for a Southside stroll kind of afternoon

We wanted the images to feel easy, bright, and real. Just like you just wandered into Delanie’s, saw a friend at the window seat, and stayed a while. Think lifestyle meets product photography, with a big side of local flavor.

Collaboration is My Love Language.
Working with small businesses and creative entrepreneurs lights me up. Whether you're a coffee shop, chef, florist, tattoo artist, or boutique owner, your passion deserves to be photographed with care and style. Food, drink, and lifestyle branding photoshoots are some of my absolute favorites. Visuals matter, and your work deserves to be seen (and drooled over)!

If you’ve got a menu drop, seasonal launch, or just want to breathe new life into your brand imagery, let’s make it happen.
