About
For me, food is more than something we eat, it’s an experience. I love capturing the colours, textures, and atmosphere that make dishes and drinks irresistible, while telling the bigger story of the people and places behind them.
Over the past six years, I’ve worked with a wide range of clients, from food manufacturers and event organisers to private chefs, caterers, cafés, pubs, and hospitality businesses. Every project is different, and I thrive on tailoring each shoot to reflect the unique character of your brand.
My aim is simple: to create photography that does more than just look good. I want your images to stop people scrolling, spark their appetite, and inspire them to visit your restaurant, buy your products, or book your services. With creative styling, expert lighting, and thoughtful storytelling, I help your brand shine through imagery that connects.

“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”

Why Welly Pictures?
I blend lighting, styling, and composition to create photography that’s more than just images, it’s storytelling. From vibrant colours to atmospheric scenes, every shot is designed to make your brand irresistible.
Expert Lighting – Whether it’s natural, flash, or studio light, I shape each image, so textures, colours, and atmosphere stand out.
Thoughtful Styling – From props to plating, I style each scene to match your brand’s personality.
Atmospheric Storytelling – Imagery that captures not just the food, but the feeling of your restaurant, café, or brand.
Colour Theory in Practice – Vibrant, appetising tones that pop both on screen and in print.
