Bakery Branding Photography for Ruby’s Cafe & Bakery

This charming bakery in the heart of Old Town Lodi has been delighting locals with its delectable treats for a little over a year and it’s got quite the buzz around it! You walk in and the air is sweet with sugar, yeast, and delicious goods baking in the oven. You’re greeted with warm smiles from the staff and its as if the café is welcoming you in a warm (sugary) embrace.

The pastries speak for themselves, but for those that aren’t “in the know,” Ruby’s Bakery was a bit difficult to find for those visiting Lodi, because they didn’t have a strong social media presence.

While I’m based in San Diego, I frequently collaborate with tourism boards and hotels in other areas. The team at Visit Lodi really wanted to bring a fresh spin to their marketing and elevate their image, and invited me to spend a few days in the Northern California city.

Working with the Visit Lodi tourism board, I captured some of the top restaurants, things to do, and places to eat in Lodi — with Ruby’s Café and Bakery being an absolute highlight.

As a branding photographer with a background in art, travel and hospitality, and marketing, using my background for eye-catching imagery that appeals to a target market and sells a place or an experience is key.

By infusing my fresh perspective and artistic expertise, I created show-stopping photos that elevate Ruby’s Bakery, establishes their brand’s visual identity, and highlights what makes their business truly unique in a crowded marketplace.

Whether you’re a bakery, coffee shop, tourism board, or small business, I’m in your corner and love to bring brands to life and captivate your target audience.

Here’s all about bakery branding photography for Ruby’s Café and Bakery!

Take into Consideration the Clientele

Understanding the target clientele is the key to crafting a compelling brand image. For Ruby’s Bakery, it’s a mix between locals who love to stop in for a slow morning pastry to savor the moment before heading to work, families on the weekends who come for brunch, and tourists visiting all the charming spots of Old Town Lodi.

Highlighting Ruby’s Bakery’s unique selling points: a cozy environment with tables to both eat and work at, delectable handmade pastries that can’t be found anywhere else in the city, and warm customer service and a family-friendly appeal were key considerations. That welcoming warmth and community aspect really shines here.

Focus on the Service, Community, and Experience

At Ruby’s Bakery, the experience is as delightful as the pastries themselves. I captured the warmth of the staff’s interactions with customers, creating a series of heartwarming images that portray the bakery’s commitment to exceptional service.

The photos also reflect the bakery’s connection to the community, showcasing it as a beloved local gathering spot is great on social and is the first indication that newcomers will be welcomed with open arms.

A successful branding photoshoot goes beyond pretty pictures; it tells a compelling story. Painting a picture of a morning well-spent at the café was the goal.

Highlight the Baked Goods

The true stars of Ruby’s Bakery are, of course, its mouthwatering baked goods. I captured the textures and colors of Ruby’s Bakery’s signature pastries, bread, and cakes.

The images showcase the artistry that goes into each creation, leaving viewers eager to indulge their sweet cravings…and heading straight for the bakery, of course!
