About Happy Broccoli

A video or photo shoot taking place in a kitchen. Three people are present: a man sitting at a table with their chin on his hand, another person standing and pointing at a laptop, and another person operating a camera on tripod. Equipment including lights, a backdrop, and other filming accessories are visible.

Happy Broccoli Creative is Elise Shivamber’s studio for bright, playful imagery and bold branded content. She partners with food, beverage, wellness, and other CPG brands to create polished visuals that bring products to life through color, texture, movement, and personality.

A Creative Studio for Products Made to Be Seen

CPG brand content for food, beverage, wellness, and better-for-you products, from a single product lifestyle shoot to a full content library. Creative agencies can bring Elise in too.

  • Close-up of a glass of iced beverage with ice cubes, a slice of lemon on the rim, and a vibrant red liquid.

    Bright visuals with personality

    Color, texture, movement, and appetite appeal: a fizzy pour, a glossy drizzle, something creamy, crunchy, juicy, or melty. Bold, clean, editorial work, never beige.

  • Red shopping basket filled with apples, strawberries, and mini tomatoes, along with four types of snack boxes labeled Sunlie: S'more Snack, Sunflower Butter & Jam Snack, Cocoa Snack, and Pizza Snack.

    Content built for where you show up

    Photography, short-form video, stop motion, GIFs, and recipe content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, email campaigns, and your website.

  • A man opening a small bottle of dietary supplement or essential oil at a kitchen table with a bowl of strawberries and other berries in front of him, in a bright room with large arched window and green plants in the background.

    Thoughtful production support

    Food and prop stylists and models when the concept needs them, so every scene feels considered and the focus stays on your product.

From a Recipe Blog to a Brand Studio

Happy Broccoli Creative partners with food, beverage, wellness, and CPG brands on polished photography, video, and stop motion that bring products to life through color, texture, and personality.

  • A plate of food with rice, seasoned tofu, chickpea stew, and fresh salad with pomegranate seeds.

    The Beginning

    It started with Elise’s recipe blog, “Elise Tries to Cook”, where she learned what makes food content work: the right composition, the right texture, and an image you want to reach through the screen for.

  • The Studio

    She brought that same care to brands and their products. Happy Broccoli Creative became the home for that work: thoughtful brand photography for products with a story to tell.

  • A young woman with dark curly hair, wearing a light gray sleeveless top and black high-waisted trousers, standing indoors in front of a wooden sliding barn door and a large green potted plant, smiling and looking slightly to the side.

    The Name

    Happy Broccoli came from a kitchen counter brainstorm with Elise’s dad, and it’s still the point of view: joyful, full-color visuals that never take themselves too seriously.
