Food and Drink Photography | Product and Restaurant Photographer
Over the past four years, I’ve had the privilege of specializing in food photography, working with a diverse range of clients, from food manufacturers and event organizers to private chefs, caterers, restaurants, cafés, pubs, and other hospitality businesses.
My goal is simple: to help your brand stand out with exceptional imagery that tells your story and captures the quality, creativity, and atmosphere of your offering.
Why Professional Food Photography Matters
While smartphone photos are quick and convenient, they rarely do justice to the artistry of your food or the experience you offer. High-quality, professionally styled photography elevates your brand, builds trust, and leaves a lasting impression.
By working with a professional food photographer, you ensure your visual content is:
Consistent with your brand
Impactful and engaging
Competitive in a saturated market

“Sam provided a photo shoot for my cafe, Forget Me Not Cafe in Moulton Community Centre and my catering business Choice Catering. The photos are outstanding and we have had loads of positive comments from our customers. Sam was professional throughout and we all had a really fun day creating our dishes for her to shoot. Would definitely use Welly Pictures again. Had Sam come and do a second shoot for us. Nothing was too much, there was a lot of waiting around for Sam and she was extremely accommodating and the final pictures are amazing - Thank you Sam”

“Sam took some photos for us for our own range of Protein Flapjacks, having never asked for professional photography to be done before I was apprehensive to begin with. However Sam made the process, simple, straight forward and stress free. Extremely happy with the results and have since booked further shoots for other product ranges we manufacture. Massive improvement in our social media presence, Thank you Sam”
