“I purchased Elise & Evan’s course, Plate to Profit, because as a food content creator I was feeling lost when it came to brand collaborations. I was really struggling to navigate & negotiate my second deal with a brand—unsure about licensing, pricing, and how to structure my proposal. Thankfully, I was able to schedule an on boarding call with Evan the same day I was set to meet with the brand rep. Evan came into our call extremely prepared and shared invaluable advice that completely shifted my confidence. I left our conversation with clarity around the value I bring to the table and how to price my proposal according. When I went into my brand meeting later that day, I felt calm, clear, confident and much more prepared. I’m incredibly grateful I found Elle’s and Evan and I’m excited to continue learning and growing with their support and guidance.”

“Just wanted you to know I closed a new partnership since starting your course! Yes I’ve worked with many brands in the past, but I’ve never had the confidence to ask for 50% deposit up front or send them my own Service Agreement (which I used from your toolkit). In the past I would just sign THEIR agreement, which looks after them, not me and to be honest, I felt like a puppet! I feel so much more confident going into this new partnership knowing I own all the rights to my work and control the deliverables! From the bottom of my heart, Thank you again! ”

We’re Elise and Evan. We like good food, stiff drinks, and getting paid (even when we take a month or two off).

From "Feast or Famine" to a $230,000 Year (With a Newborn).

To the Creative who loves the work but hates the uncertainty,

If you are reading this, let’s get real for a hot second.

You have the talent and the drive. You're making a lot of content. Maybe even some scroll-stopping product reels.

But "posting and praying" isn't paying the rent, and you are exhausted from the hustle.

You are tired of not understanding how to "work on your business" rather than just "working in your business."

And you are definitely tired of not landing high-paying retainer clients.

We know exactly how that feels. Because a few years ago, that was us.

But 2025 changed everything.

We didn't just want "more gigs." We wanted a life. We focused entirely on building retainer systems, moving away from one-off chaos to consistent, high-paying contracts.

The ultimate test came when we welcomed our son, Quinn.

We didn't just "step away" for a few days. We took over a month off. No shooting. No panic-pitching. No stress.

And guess what? The business didn't stop. The checks kept clearing.

Because we had installed the systems you’ll learn in Plate to Profit, our studio generated over $230,000 in revenue in 2025, and secured stable $10k/month retainers with top-tier brands even while working what many would call "part time."

That is the power of a Retainer-Based Business. It hums along even when life gets busy.

We are teaching you the exact "Sales Director" systems Evan used to close $10k+ monthly retainers, stripped of the "used car salesman" vibes and replaced with genuine hospitality.

We are so confident that this system will change your career that we back it with our Grandma's Cookies 30-Day Guarantee.

We are just two normal people who figured out how to make the business serve our life, not the other way around. Now, we want to help you do the same.

Cin Cin!

"Thank you!! We've been food blogging for awhile now, but are just starting to pivot towards brand photography and videography. After you helped me figure out lighting so easily and effortlessly, I decided I really needed to take your course to help me get systems up and running for 2026. AND WOW! We've done a few courses related to food blogging over the years but this is by far the most informative course I've come across. And it's nice to have something productive to watch as I hold my baby at 5am 🙃"

Plate to Profit - Sales Sections

Let's Face It...

Most food & bev content courses are either...

$2K Courses That Leave You Hanging

You drop $1,997 on a course that teaches you lighting and composition...but zero about how to actually land paid clients or what to charge.

Influencer Tactics That Don't Pay Bills

They teach you to build followers, not a business. When it's time to pitch a brand for $3K/month, you're completely on your own.

No Systems = Looking Like an Amateur

No contracts. No onboarding. No pricing structure. You're winging every client interaction and hoping they don't notice you have no idea what you're doing.

Stop buying incomplete courses. You get every template, script, and framework we use to run our six-figure studio—pricing strategies, pitch scripts, contracts, client onboarding, everything. One purchase. One price. Actually complete.

Brands We've Worked With

This Course Is Cheap AF. Why?

  • Why Is This Course Priced So Accessibly? We remember what it’s like to start from scratch and if you're new to content creation, the last thing you need is a $1,000 course with advice that doesn’t feel actionable. We created this so you can skip the overwhelm and start landing real brand deals, without a massive upfront cost.

  • Will The Price Go Up? This is the second lowest price this course will ever be. We're rewarding early action-takers while we continue to roll out lessons and refine everything based on your feedback. Future versions will be priced higher. So now’s the time to jump in.

  • Do I Get Lifetime Access? Yes! New modules will be rolling out monthly. And remember, it only takes one client to 10x your investment We’re giving you the exact tools we use to land $5K–$20K+ deals, build retainers, and grow recurring income. If you book even one client using what’s inside this course, it’s already paid for itself (and then some).

Who Is This Course For?

  • New and Established Creators: You are ready to pick up a camera and start creating from home and want to make sure you are head of the game when it comes to selling. You also do not want to rely on a large following to make a good income.

  • Freelance Creators Ready to Build Predictable Income: You’re a food photographer or videographer struggling with inconsistent work, and you want a system to land high-paying clients and create steady revenue.

  • Content Creators Who Want to Sell, Not Just Create: You have the skills to shoot great content, but you’re tired of undercharging and unsure how to package, price, and confidently sell your work to brands.

  • Passionate Creators Ready for a Business Transformation: Ideal for those already taking solid food photos and videos and are ready to turn a passion for food content into a structured, profitable business that stands out in a crowded market.

Who Is This Course NOT For?

  • Hobbyists Who Aren’t Interested in Monetizing Their Skills:

    This course is designed for creators who want to build a profitable business, not just create content for fun.

  • Creators Looking for a Quick-Fix or Get-Rich-Quick Scheme: Success in this industry requires strategy, consistency, and effort—this course gives you the roadmap, but you have to do the work.

  • Those Unwilling to Learn Sales & Business Strategies: If you’re only interested in improving your creative skills but not in pricing, pitching, and landing clients, this course may not be the right fit.

  • You've already scaled to $20k+ months, which congratulations!

Other Frequently Asked Questions

What skill level is this program for?

This course is designed for both beginner and experienced food photographers and videographers who want to turn their skills into a profitable business. Whether you’re just starting or looking to land higher-paying clients, we provide step-by-step guidance for every level.

How long do I have access to the program & when does it start?

You’ll receive lifetime access to the course. This means you can learn at your own pace, access any updates, and return to materials anytime as your business grows.

Can't I learn all of this on Youtube?

YouTube offers some great resources, but finding a structured path with comprehensive guidance can be challenging and time-consuming. This course organizes everything in one place, combining technical skills, real-world assignments, and business advice you won’t get from scattered tutorials. By joining, you’ll save time and gain direct, focused strategies to build a profitable food content studio.

Do I need experience with a professional camera before starting?

Not at all! Some of the brands we work with only want content shot on a phone!

Will this course help me find clients?

Absolutely. We teach client acquisition strategies that actually work, including building a high-value client list, cold outreach scripts, and relationship-building techniques to secure long-term contracts.

What if I don't have a portfolio yet?

No problem! We’ll show you how we built a high-converting portfolio from scratch and from there we will show you how to position yourself as a professional, even if you’re just getting started.

Our Famous Guarantee

Is there a guarantee?

Absolutely! The Plate to Profit: The Art of Selling Food Content has a 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee. If you are not completely SATISFIED and ENLIGHTENED by the The Six-Figure Food Studio Blueprint Program, then contact us within 30 Days for a full refund, no questions asked!
