Hi, I'm Ruthanne.


I'm a food and wellness blogger, recipe developer, photographer, and the founder of The Bigley Basics. The Bigley Basics is currently owned and operated by Derek and I—a husband and wife content creation team. I specialize in creating healthy, allergy friendly recipes, but I can create any kind of recipe you might need! The main photography services I offer are food photography, product photography, and lifestyle photography.


I would love to work with you to bring your visions to life! Whether you need recipes developed or photographed, product images, lifestyle shots, or a combination of all of the above, I would be happy to work with you to create the content you're looking for.

Hi, I'm Derek.


Video is my passion, and after graduating from college in 2018 with a degree in Communication, I was lucky enough to gain work experience as a Videographer, Digital Media Specialist, and Marketing Director before leaving that last position in 2022 to join Ruthanne full-time and do all of the above for The Bigley Basics!


As a former Director of Marketing, I have a unique perspective on advertising contracts, as I have experienced and understand both the content creator side and the brand's perspective. At the end of the day, we want to provide value to our partners by enhancing your brand image, increasing your exposure, and growing your profits, while emphasizing relationship and making your experience with us an enjoyable one!
