Cookbooks are a true labor of love; each page blending storytelling, creativity, and delicious inspiration together. So when Atlanta-based author Jenné Claiborne set out to create her vibrant cookbook Sweet Potato Soul: Vegan Vibes, Photographer Caitlin Bensel approached the project with one goal: to make the images feel as vibrant and full of life as the recipes themselves.
With rich textures, bold colors, and an eye for detail, Caitlin’s photography elevates every dish into something truly mouthwatering. Her visual approach brings warmth and energy to the pages, capturing the heart of Jenné’s plant-based, soulful cooking.
For Caitlin, these images are more than just food photography; they’re a celebration of healthy living, culture, and creativity through the lens of two passionate women.
