Storytelling sessions

Whether you need a single session or a full year of storytelling, I've made sure there's something here that fits the season you and your business are in. Not sure what kind of session would support you the most? Let's have a conversation over a cuppa first!

Everyone's story is different ✷ Yours deserves to be told ✷

Beautiful images stop the scroll. Images rooted in story make people stay because they're getting to know YOU. That's the difference.

First Chapter

1 hour

A focused session for one key offering, a quick refresh, or if you're just finding your feet in front of the camera. A smaller, intentional starting point and a simple way to begin.

Stories Unfolding

2 hours (Most popular)

Time to capture your brand as it is right now - relaxed, in depth, with room for the details that matter. The most popular session, and where most people start.

Epic Tales

4 hours

For when you want to go deeper. Multiple locations, a day-in-the-life feel, a rich and varied library across your brand. More space, more story.

Included in every session: 

Pre-shoot discovery call · Shared Pinterest board · Personal password-protected online gallery · High-resolution files for print and web · Full usage rights for your business · Direct downloads · I'm happy to come to you, travel is charged at 50p per mile return from Barton-Upon-Humber.

How it works

Start with a conversation

A discovery call to talk through your brand, your passion, your why, your ideas, your vision, what you need. We'll look at references together and build a shared picture of what your session could look like.

Shape your story

A loose plan of our time together - no rigid shot lists, no pressure. A shared Pinterest board for inspiration, a shared vision built in a relaxed way. We plan, but always leave room for the moments of live creativity.

Capture it naturally

A relaxed session where your visual story unfolds. No backdrops, no studio lights, no stiff posing. I'll guide you when it helps, step back when it doesn't. The goal is simple: for you to feel like yourself.

Receive your gallery

A carefully edited collection, ready to download and use across your website, your social, your stories. Images that feel like you, ready every time you need them.

A library of images that feel like your brand right now. The kind you reach for without second-guessing - for your website, your socials, your stories. Finally, visuals that actually feel like you.

 

Feel like you need more than one session? The Seasonal Story Plan might be the one.

Walk away with

A full year of

storytelling

Four shoots across the year. A visual library that grows as you and your business evolve - without the last-minute scramble for something real to share.

  • 4 shoots across the year

  • Simple planning before each session

  • Imagery that evolves as you and your business grow throughout the year

The most spacious way to work together. If you know visuals are something you'll need consistently, this becomes a rhythm rather than a rush. Your website stays current. Your socials feel aligned with who you actually are right now. And you're never starting from scratch again.

Every brand is in a different season

Some are just beginning, some are growing and evolving, some are ready to step into a new chapter. Wherever you are, this is about creating imagery that supports you, in a way that feels natural, spacious and never overwhelming.

Hate the idea of being in front of a camera?

Most people do. And yet the most common thing I hear after a session is that people forgot the camera was there. That they walked away feeling more confident than when they arrived. That it felt - somehow - like a good day.

 

That's not by accident. The way you feel when you're being photographed shows up in the images. Your audience can feel it too. So before anything else, my priority is making sure you feel like yourself. When that happens, the images take care of themselves.

 

And when you see them - images that look like you on your best day, because they are - sharing feels easy. Showing up starts to feel like something you actually want to do.

Keep an eye on my

Instagram

I always capture a selection of Living Scene b-roll clips during your session - short, natural clips that are perfect for your stories and creating reels. These will be shared in your gallery to download. I always share a few favourite sneak peeks from your session while your gallery is on its way too, so keep an eye out for me tagging you on Instagram with a peek before your full gallery is ready.

not sure where
to start?

Most people begin with Stories Unfolding. And more often than not, they tell me afterwards that they wish they'd done it sooner.
