Let's Tell a Story Worth Sharing.
The Rustic Elk is a seasonal food publication rooted in recipes, preserving, gardens, wild game, and the simple pleasure of gathering around the table.
Every recipe, photograph, and story is created with one goal: helping readers slow down, cook with the seasons, and make ordinary moments memorable.
If your brand believes food is more than something we eat, that it's part of the stories we tell and the memories we keep, I would love to explore working together.
Ways We Can Work Together
Sponsored Recipes
Seasonal recipes that naturally feature products and ingredients I genuinely use in my own kitchen.
Editorial Storytelling
Long-form features that weave your product, destination, or experience into the kind of thoughtful stories readers already expect from The Rustic Elk.
Food & Lifestyle Photography
Natural, editorial photography for recipes, ingredients, cookware, gardens, entertaining, and seasonal living.
Travel & Destination Features
Stories that explore the food, culture, and character of a place through photography, recipes, and immersive storytelling.
Long-Term Partnerships
The best collaborations don't feel like advertisements... they feel like trusted recommendations. I enjoy building lasting relationships with brands that fit naturally within the world of The Rustic Elk.
Who I Love Working With
I partner selectively with brands that value craftsmanship, seasonal living, hospitality, and authenticity.
That includes:
- Kitchen & cookware
- Pantry ingredients
- Food & beverage brands
- Home preserving
- Gardening
- Outdoor cooking & smokers
- Wild game & hunting
- Travel & hospitality
- Books & publishing
Every partnership reflects products, places, and experiences I'd happily recommend to my own readers.
Through My Lens
Photography has always been at the heart of my work.
Whether it's fresh peaches on the counter, venison coming off the smoker, herbs drying in the kitchen, or a quiet dinner shared by candlelight, my goal is to create photographs that feel lived in, not staged.
Readers You'll Reach
The Rustic Elk is for readers who love seasonal cooking, home preserving, gardening, wild game, and gathering people around the table.
They're curious home cooks, gardeners, hunters, travelers, and readers who appreciate thoughtful storytelling just as much as a well-tested recipe.
Let's Talk
Whether you're launching a new product, promoting a destination, or looking for an ongoing creative partnership, I'd love to hear what you're working on.
Good food has always been about more than the meal. Every memorable table has a story. I'd love to help tell yours.
