Visitor Experience Audits

Fresh eyes. Honest insight. Thoughtful suggestions.

If you’ve ever wondered what your guests really experience — beyond the reviews and repeat bookings — I can help.

I offer discreet, joy-focused audits for rural businesses, events, and visitor destinations, capturing the experience through a customer’s lens.

You’ll walk away with warm, constructive insights and creative ideas to help your space or event feel even more welcoming, memorable, and meaningful.

What’s Included:

  • A discreet visit as a guest (pre-arranged or mystery-style)

  • Gentle photography capturing unnoticed details or missed opportunities

  • A short, beautifully written report with key reflections and creative prompts

  • Optional 30-minute follow-up call

Ideal for farm shops, family-run hotels, event organisers, small museums, lifestyle businesses, and seasonal venues.

From £495

Limited availability: 2–3 audits per month

Seasonal Photography

Photography with story, and seasonal magic.

My style is light filled, documentary-meets-editorial: warm, relaxed, and grounded in natural beauty. Whether you’re capturing your brand’s story, a seasonal offering, or your space in full bloom — I’ll help you create images that feel like you.

Available for:

  • Lifestyle brand shoots (products, people, spaces)

  • Boutique venues and gardens (seasonal capture or storytelling sessions)

  • Seasonal workshops or pop-up events

  • Picnic-inspired styled sessions

Available in Somerset and the South West (travel by arrangement)

Day and half-day rates available

Creative Collaborations

Story-led partnerships with a seasonal heart.

If your brand, venue, or event shares my love of joy, tradition, and beautiful everyday moments — I’d love to collaborate.

Together, we might create:

  • A feature on my blog or in the Picnicly newsletter

  • A story-led photography session with copy for your own channels

  • A seasonal campaign, journal, or press story with emotional depth

These are bespoke, thoughtful partnerships designed for mutual joy and impact.

Guest Writing & Speaking

I occasionally contribute to events, panels, or seasonal gatherings. I speak about joyful living, picnic culture, seasonal traditions, and the art of slowing down in a fast-paced world.

If you’re hosting something lovely and think I’d be a good fit, do get in touch.

Please note: My diary fills quickly and I only take on a few projects each month to ensure each one gets the care it deserves.

I’m currently working around family life and a toddler — but I’m always open to ideas that spark joy.
