Link to Vanessa's published writing and photography. Published food & Beverage writing and photos In 2024, I made a decision that has provided both joy and a deeper understanding, which has made me a better food photographer. Becoming an intern at 303 Magazine and then a freelance writer for the Food & Beverage Team has provided me with the foundation and continued honing of my food writing skills. Both of my grandmothers were renowned in their hometown of Indianola, Mississippi, for their exceptional cooking skills. My Grandma Frazier ran a cafe, and my Grandma Annie prepared many dinners for the families she worked for, the Men's Lodge, and her church. They passed down their skills and love for cooking to many of the women in my family, to include my mother. While I have some tools in my toolbox, my love for food comes from the memories of family gatherings - the laughter, the stories, the love. This is the core of my passion for food photography and writing about the people who prepare the amazing dishes and drinks we love and enjoy. To check out some of my work for 303 Magazine, as well as that of other excellent writers, visit the website here. Learn More Here

Features of businesses that Bona Fide Photography, LLC has collaborated with. BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT Dash'a Butta by Be AgainLLC Dash’a Butta is a luxurious hand-made whipped body butter crafted by artisan Destiny Patterson. With a smooth, rich texture, this body butter provides all-day moisture without a greasy feel. Available in delightful scents, Dash’a Butta offers: - **Healing Well**: Our favorite blend of lavender and essential oils, creating a spa-like experience in your own bathroom. It's a must-have for your self-care routine. - **Citronella**: Fresh and invigorating. - **Mom’s Lavender**: A soothing classic. I had the pleasure of collaborating with Destiny for a content shoot that honored Madam C.J. Walker and celebrated Black female entrepreneurs during Juneteenth. The moment was truly “Phenomenal” and relevant to the occasion. During the shoot, Destiny introduced a new product from her Dash’a Butta line—hair oil—perfectly aligning with our 1920s-themed "Phenomenal Women" concept. Stay updated on Dash’a Butta’s presence at local farmers' markets and ordering options by following @dasha.butta_ on Instagram! Learn More Here
