Dani McReynolds

Dani McReynolds is a culinary producer, food photographer and food stylist based out of Brooklyn, NY and Asheville, NC. 

​

Her love of food started early, around her grandparents’ table, where cooking was hands-on and shared. That early connection led Dani through years of restaurant work and into professional kitchens in New York City, where she first trained as a pastry cook at Locanda Verde. Working in fast-paced kitchens shaped the way she approaches her work today—with efficiency, intuition, and a strong attention to detail.

​

Now with nearly a decade of experience in food media, Dani specializes in creating clean, thoughtful images that highlight the natural beauty of food. Her culinary background allows her to style intuitively, anticipate how food behaves on set, and collaborate seamlessly with chefs, editors, and creative teams.

 

Dani has worked as a pastry chef, baker, culinary teaching assistant, catering chef, recipe developer and tester, photographer, food stylist, prop stylist, and culinary producer. Her work spans New York, San Francisco, Atlanta, and beyond, with on-set experience across television, cookbooks, magazines, advertising, and packaging.
