What people have to say:

Many thanks to Chelsea Mae and Mae's Menu for the incredible photographs showcasing Bistro Nautile's new menu. Chelsea Mae was professional and easy to work with during the shoot. She had a great ideas for positioning the food, and took many frames of each dish. The resulting images are beyond my expectations.  Some are closeups, some are full frame, and some capture a part or portion of the dish. The artistry is evident, and striking. At Bistro Nautile we try to make our food into fine art for the plate. Chelsea Mae has captured our plate art, added her own flair and angle, and reimagined it as art for the walls. I can't wait to use these images in upcoming promotions, and for years to come.
