Not A checklist.
A point of View.
You might already have a shot list. Bring it – we’ll use it as a starting point, then work out what else is worth seeing.
Because the best images aren’t always the ones you thought you needed.
what I photograph
Stay
Hotels, inns, retreats & destinations
Rooms, spaces, details and the feeling of being there. From a single property refresh to a broader library of imagery that gives your guests a sense of the experience before they arrive.
Gather
Restaurants, pubs, dining & hospitality
The food matters. So does the room, the service, the people behind it and everything that happens between the first drink and the last plate.
Taste
Food, drink & producers
Bottles, dishes, ingredients, hands, craft and the stories behind them. Images with enough personality to make people want to know what comes next.
A SHOOT TO SUIT WHAT’S HAPPENING
You might need a handful of images for something specific. You might need to build a library that can carry your brand for months.
Either way, we’ll work out what makes sense for what you’re actually trying to achieve.

A little of how I work
01.
The conversation
It starts with what’s happening. A new opening, a new menu, a new bottle, a change of direction – whatever’s brought you here.
02.
the Thinking
Then we work out what matters. What needs photographing, what the images need to do, and where there’s something worth looking a little closer at.
03.
The Making
This is where the plan meets the reality of the place. I’m prepared, but I’m also looking for the unexpected – the light, the gesture, the detail that wasn’t on the list.
04.
The Story
The result is a set of images that feels considered and cohesive, and gives you something useful to say about your business.
YOU’RE NOT JUST GETTING PHOTOGRAPHS
You’re getting a body of imagery that has been thought about properly.
Images that can work across your website, social channels, marketing, PR and the day-to-day life of your business, while still feeling like they belong together.
The aim isn’t to fill a folder.
It’s to give you something useful. Something distinctive. Something that feels like you.
what my clients say
“My first reaction was honestly ‘wow’. The colours, lighting and detail made every dish stand out, and the images were even better than I expected. The whole experience was detailed, friendly and relaxed – Lou genuinely cares about getting everything just right. The mood board and plan were incredibly clear, and the results have given us a strong visual presence online. I couldn’t recommend her more.”
