Storytelling Subscriptions

Most small businesses tell their story once and then go quiet. The grand opening gets documented. The energy of opening week gets captured. And then the feed goes quiet, or inconsistent, or starts to look like everyone else's.

But the most interesting thing about a place is usually what happens inside it every day. The process. The people. The small rituals that make a business worth visiting.

Storytelling Subscriptions are ongoing media partnerships for visual businesses like restaurants, coffee bars, wine bars, working studios, galleries, maker spaces, bookshops, and arts organizations. Each month or quarter, I show up, document what you're already doing, and deliver polished video and photography built around your specific business.

No briefs to fill out. No stock aesthetic. Just consistent, human-centered content that connects your community with your business.

What’s Included

Every subscription includes a planning call before each shoot. We use that time to align on what story to tell that cycle, like what's coming up, what's worth capturing, what angle makes the most sense for where your business is right now. You go into each delivery knowing what to expect. I go into each shoot knowing what I'm looking for.

Each cycle delivers:

  • A fully edited feature video (60–90 seconds, horizontal+vertical)

  • Vertical cutdowns optimized for Reels and Stories

  • Edited photo selects, ready to use across social, web, and print

How we work

Every shoot falls into one of four formats depending on your business and what's happening that month.

  • For new products, new services, seasonal menus, rebrands, expansions — any moment your business is revealing something new. We build the shoot around the story behind the launch: what it is, why it exists, and what went into making it. The edit has a narrative arc — not a sales pitch, but a real reveal. Delivered in time to anchor your announcement across social, web, and press.

  • For restaurants, coffee bars, wine bars, bookstores, and businesses where atmosphere is the product. No formal interview required. We arrive during your natural rhythm — morning service, dinner prep, opening hour — and document the place as it actually runs. The edit is music-driven and observational. It lets the space speak.

  • For studios, ceramicists, bakers, roasters, and anyone whose craft is the product. We start with a short, conversational interview — five questions at most — and spend the bulk of the shoot on process. Hands, materials, environment, detail. The edit is interview-driven with b-roll carrying the visual weight. The result feels like a portrait of a person and their work, not a promotional video.

  • For galleries, performance venues, festivals, and businesses with recurring events or programming. We cover the event as it unfolds — setup, the live experience, candid moments — and pair that with a short on-camera reaction or two. One shoot generates social content, archival documentation, and promo material you can use well beyond the event itself.

Our Services

Quarterly Storytelling

One shoot per quarter

Best for smaller arts businesses, studios, and shops with slower programming cycles who want a strong, recurring presence without a monthly commitment.

  • Planning call (20–30 min) before the shoot

  • One on-location shoot day (2–3 hrs)

  • One fully edited feature video (60–90 sec, horizontal + vertical)

  • 1–2 vertical cutdowns optimized for Reels and Stories

  • 20–25 edited photo selects

Shoot format: Maker Story, Place Story, Launch Story, or Program Story — determined in the planning call based on what's happening that quarter.

Starting at $1,500/quarter. Final pricing based on scope and location.

Monthly Storytelling

One shoot per month

Best for active businesses with ongoing programming, regular launches, or a consistent need to document what's happening inside their business.

Each month includes:

  • Planning call (20 min) before the shoot

  • One on-location shoot day (2–3 hrs)

  • One fully edited feature video (60–90 sec, horizontal + vertical)

  • 2–3 vertical cutdowns optimized for Reels and Stories

Starting at $1,800/month. Final pricing based on scope and location.

Story Partner

Two shoots per month

Best for venues, galleries, festivals, and organizations with both ongoing programming and everyday stories to tell. One shoot covers an event or launch; the other captures the evergreen story of your business.

Each month includes:

  • Planning call (30 min) covering both shoots

  • Two on-location shoot days (2–3 hrs each)

  • Two fully edited feature videos (60–90 sec, horizontal + vertical)

  • 4–6 vertical cutdowns

  • 40–50 edited photo selects

  • Priority scheduling

Shoot formats are planned together in the monthly call so both shoots feel like a cohesive month of content rather than two separate jobs.

Starting at $3,200/month. Final pricing based on scope and location.

Optional add-on — available across all tiers:

Colored Selects Export
A color-graded export of your video selects delivered as individual clips, sized for Reels and Stories. Use them for behind-the-scenes moments, quick announcements, or anything you want to post between our deliveries. Starting at $150/cycle.
