Work With Me

At My Midlife Table, I partner with brands that support nourishment, women's wellbeing, and a thoughtful approach to everyday cooking in midlife.

My work blends recipe development, editorial-style food photography, and storytelling that invites readers into a slower, more intentional relationship with food and the daily rhythms of cooking.

If your brand values clean ingredients, wellness-conscious choices, and products that genuinely support women's wellbeing, we may be a natural fit.

Professional Background

My Midlife Table is created by Sue Chester, a food and beverage photographer and recipe developer based in New England.

Sue is a seasoned home cook who develops recipes for everyday cooking, with a focus on clean ingredients, balanced nourishment, and meals that support women's wellbeing in midlife.

In addition to developing recipes for My Midlife Table, Sue works with restaurants and food brands to create editorial-style photography that feels lived-in, sensory, and story-driven, imagery that invites the viewer into the experience of cooking and eating.

Her work has appeared in print and digital publications, and her photography has received international recognition, including winning the Japanese Food Photography Awards and being shortlisted in the World Food Photography Awards.

Sue Chester provides recipe development, food photography, and editorial storytelling for brands, restaurants and publications.

Ways We Can Collaborate

I partner with brands through a variety of creative collaborations, including:

  • Recipe development
  • Food & beverage photography
  • Sponsored recipes and product features
  • Editorial storytelling around ingredients and cooking
  • Thoughtful product integrations in recipes and midlife routines

Each collaboration is developed to feel natural, authentic, and aligned with the My Midlife Table philosophy.

If you feel your brand aligns with My Midlife Table, I’d be happy to explore ideas together.

Brand Alignment

The ingredients and products used in My Midlife Table recipes reflect the way I cook and live in my own kitchen.

I prioritize

  • clean, thoughtfully sourced ingredients
  • minimally processed foods
  • kitchen tools and materials chosen with health and longevity in mind
  • products that support nourishment and women's wellbeing

Examples of aligned partnerships include:

  • specialty food and ingredient brands
  • kitchenware and cookware companies
  • thoughtfully crafted wines and beverage brands
  • wellness resources that support midlife nourishment and wellbeing

Maintaining reader trust is extremely important to me, so I focus on partnerships with brands whose products I either use in my own kitchen or would feel genuinely comfortable recommending.
