Hi! My name is Emily Miller, a Tucson based photographer. I am the food photographer and content creator behind my blog, Resplendent Kitchen. I help brands and restaurants by creating mouthwatering images that reflect their brand and tell their story.
I've been taking photos since I was ten years old. Many years ago, I took a cooking class for which I had to submit images of the food I made as part of the assignments. That's when my desire to learn about the art of food photography began, and I have been hooked ever since!
About the blog
I started this blog as a place to share my creative passions for food photography and plant-based food. Over the years, I had acquired necessary cooking skills by teaching myself how to cook through cookbooks and the occasional cooking class for fun. I love to share plant-based recipes and hopefully inspire others to incorporate more plants in their dishes.
My experience of working as a registered nurse for many years has given me a unique perspective on how diet and lifestyle affect health. The recipes you'll find here are wholesome and plant-based with the occasional indulgent recipe. I have a passion for cooking, eating, discovering new foods along the way, and photographing food. Through my recipes and food photography, I hope to inspire you to get creative in your kitchen!
