"I’ve worked with Rachel several times, and she is consistently excellent. Her thoughtful, sensitive approach makes you feel comfortable, and the images she creates are intimate and meaningful."
Brand Films
Photography tells your story in stills. Video takes it further — letting your audience hear your voice, see your process, and connect with the passion behind what you do. From short doco-style brand videos to full course creation, I create videos designed to capture the heart of your work. Here’s a brand story film I created for musician Ladi Abundance — a glimpse into her creative world and her ‘why.’
The
Process
-
We’ll start with a relaxed chat to get to know you and your business. This is where we talk about your goals, audience, and the story you want to tell. After the call, I’ll put together a proposal for your project.
-
Once you’ve accepted your proposal, pre-production begins. Together we’ll map out locations, wardrobe, props (if needed), and shot lists. I’ll guide you through what to expect and how the shoot will flow so you feel confident going in.
-
This is where the magic happens. Whether it’s you working in your studio, connecting with clients, or simply in your element, I’ll make the session relaxed and natural so your personality and passion shine through.
-
I’ll carefully select and edit your images — or edit together your video (if you’ve added this on) — with an eye for consistency, warmth, and storytelling.
-
You’ll receive your final gallery via an easy-to-use online platform. I’ll also share tips on how to use your new branding content across your website, social media, and marketing.
Practical guidance, creative ideas, and fresh inspiration for bringing your brand to life through photography and video. From choosing outfits and locations, to telling your story with personality, to making the most of your session — these resources are here to help you create content that truly connects with your clients and community.
