The Seasonal Story Photography Plan

Imagine a year where you never have to scramble for brand photos again...

A year where your visuals actually keep pace with your growth — with seasonal storytelling sessions that support you through every chapter.

Right now your business moves faster than your visuals can keep up. You’re juggling clients, ideas, launches, life. Meanwhile:

  • Your offers evolve

  • Your messaging shifts

  • Your energy changes

…but your images stay the same, or you’re reaching for iPhone shots that don’t reflect where your brand is heading.

There’s a better way.

Imagine having brand photography that evolves with you season by season.


Visuals that reflect who you are now and where you’re going next — so showing up feels aligned, confident and consistent all year.

Your brand isn't static and neither are you

"Holly’s process is unique - she doesn’t just turn up with a camera, she invites you to think deeply about your project and the story you want your images to tell.”

Here's what changes when you work seasonally

Instead of one-off shoots that can’t keep pace with your growth, you’ll have four seasonal refresh points that evolve with your brand.
Your visuals become a living part of your business — not an afterthought.

  • Fresh imagery ready for every new launch

  • Aligned visuals when your messaging shifts

  • Seasonal photography that matches your energy and offers

  • Real-time storytelling that never falls behind

Your seasonal visuals evolve with your energy, your ideas and your growth — so showing up never feels forced or outdated.

And when your imagery reflects who you truly are right now, everything shifts.


You connect more deeply.
You communicate more clearly.
You grow your brand with quiet, grounded confidence.

This photography plan is perfect for you if:

✓ You’re done with sporadic visuals that no longer reflect where your business is now

✓ You evolve seasonally and want imagery that supports each phase

✓ You want to show up consistently online without the pressure of constant content creation

​✓ You want to stand out in your space and stop imitating what everyone else is doing

✓ Your brand grows through the year and you need visuals that keep pace

✓ You’re ready to invest in how your brand is seen, not just what you say

✓ You value authentic, story-driven photography over generic stock images

Roots+Tales_Holly_Shepherd_Photography_Yorkshire01.jpg

This might not be the right fit if:

✗ You're just starting out and need a foundational brand shoot first (let's chat about the single session option)


✗ You prefer DIY content and iPhone photography only


✗ Your brand stays exactly the same all year round


✗ You’re not ready to invest in long-term visual storytelling

✗ You’re looking for a one-off shoot rather than ongoing seasonal support

✗ You want highly staged imagery instead of natural story-led visuals

✗ You want fast reactive content instead of thoughtful, intentional photography

Why commit to a year of storytelling?

Here’s what probably happens now…


You book a shoot. You’re excited. You get 50–80 beautiful images. You use them everywhere for a few weeks.
Then a few months pass.

Your offers evolve.
Your messaging shifts.
You launch something new.
The season changes.

And suddenly, you’re back to mixing in iPhone shots or recycling the same images on repeat.

But by this time next year, here’s what changes with seasonal storytelling…


You’ll have 280+ images that capture four complete chapters of your growth:

  • Spring energy and new beginnings

  • Summer expansion and outdoor warmth

  • Autumn transitions and cosy depth

  • Winter reflection and strategic planning

Each quarter, you’ll receive fresh visuals that match:

  • Your current offers and launches

  • Your seasonal energy and messaging

  • Where your business is heading next (not where it was months ago)

No more scrambling.
No more mismatched content.
No more feeling behind.

Just a calm, supportive rhythm of visual storytelling that keeps pace with your growth — so you can show up confidently, season after season.

Meet the Storyteller

Hey, I'm Holly 👋

I’m the photographer behind Roots and Tales, and someone who knows first-hand how vulnerable it can feel to be seen. This past year I’ve shown up in front of the camera more than ever — sharing more of my life and parts of my story I once kept tucked away — and it’s changed everything for me.

The more I allowed myself to be visible, the more clearly I began attracting clients who feel like friends. People who connect with my energy, my intuition and my story-led approach.


That’s exactly why this plan exists.

Your brand evolves through the year — and so do you.


Being witnessed season by season creates a deeper, more relatable presence that your audience can genuinely connect with.

With over twenty years behind the lens, I notice things others might miss — the tiny details, the emotional cues, the honest moments that tell the real story. And throughout this year together, I’ll bring that same intuitive, nurturing eye to capturing your own evolving seasons.

Common questions

When do my payments begin?

Your first payment is taken on the day you join. Quarterly payments then continue every 3 months for the full 12 months.

Where will the shoots take place?

We’ll choose seasonal locations that feel aligned with your story — outdoors, at your workspace, lifestyle spots or places that feel meaningful to your brand.

Can we shoot in multiple locations?

Absolutely. Most sessions naturally include a couple of locations that fit into your Seasonal Story Plan.

What's included in the b-roll collection?

Short video clips (3–30 seconds each) of living, moving scenes from your shoot. Perfect for adding movement to your content — ideal for Reels, Stories, website banners and seasonal brand moments.

Do I need to prepare anything before each session?

We'll do it all together. Each season you’ll receive a short questionnaire and your personalised Story Plan after our call so you know exactly what to expect, what too bring along and how to prepare.

What if I’m nervous about being photographed?​

Completely normal. My sessions are calm, intuitive and gently directed — nothing stiff or staged. I’ll guide you so you feel relaxed, natural and genuinely yourself.

What if the weather is bad?​

We adapt. We can switch to indoor locations, embrace the weather if it suits the story, or reschedule if its a total washout using your priority rebooking.

What if my business changes direction mid-year?

This is for you! That’s exactly why this plan exists. Each session starts with a seasonal discovery call where we realign with where you are now. Your visuals evolve with you — that’s the whole point.

Do I need to use all 4 sessions in consecutive seasons?

Not necessarily. The plan works best quarterly, but we can adjust timing for launches, events, travel or business needs.

Can I use these images for anything?

Yes — you receive full commercial usage rights. Use your images anywhere your brand appears: website, social media, newsletters, marketing materials or print.

Can I purchase additional sessions?

Yes. Plan clients receive discounted add-on shoots. Just DM or email me and we can chat through your options.

What if I’m not ready for a full year commitment?

You can start with a single storytelling session (from £295) and upgrade to the Seasonal Stories Plan later if it feels right.

What happens at the end of the year?

You can renew at a preferential returning-client rate, move to individual sessions, or simply keep using your 280+ images. No pressure — your visuals are yours forever.

What about travel costs?

There’s a small travel fee of 50p per mile (return) from my home in Barton to our chosen location. I’ll confirm this with you ahead of time so everything is clear.

What if I need to reschedule a session?

Life happens. I ask for a minimum of 48 hours notice — sooner if possible — and as a Seasonal Stories client you’ll get priority rebooking. We’ll find a time that suits your rhythm.

How quickly will I receive my images?

Your seasonal gallery will be delivered within a maximum of 28 days, neatly organised and ready to download from your private online space.

Do you edit the images?

Yes — all images are professionally edited in my natural, story-led Roots and Tales style, giving you consistent brand visuals throughout the year.

Still have questions?

 

Just get in touch — I’m always happy to chat through your ideas or help you decide whether this is the right rhythm for your next season.

At Roots + Tales, I specialise in storytelling photography, capturing authentic images that tell your unique tales. My journey began with studying black and white film photography 20 years ago, spending much of my time since travelling around the world in various photographic roles before returning to my roots in Yorkshire. While I'm based in Hull & East Yorkshire, I'm always happy to travel beyond these areas for sessions and adventures.
