Seasonal playbooks · · 3 min read
A seasonal photo playbook: what to update, what to keep consistent, and how to refresh your menu look for holidays and seasonal ingredients.
TL;DR
Keep your base style consistent (background, light, angle). Swap small seasonal cues (garnish, props, colors) instead of changing everything. Update photos when the dish changes—not just because the season did.
What to update each season
Specials and limited-time items. Dishes with seasonal produce (color and texture change). Bundles and family meals.
