Sam Peel MA qualified commercial photographer and founder of Welly Pictures

About Welly Pictures

Led by Sam, an MA-qualified photographer and creative director

We started Welly Pictures because we believe every business, from a family-run café to a luxury hotel group, deserves photography that looks like the experience they've built.

Handing over your brand to someone else's camera can feel like a leap. That's why every shoot starts with a conversation, not a lens cap coming off. We take the time to understand what you need before we ever pick up a camera.

Our Process

Great commercial photography doesn't merely document a room or a dish; it makes someone feel the experience before they've arrived.

01

The strategy chat

A focused 30-minute call to understand your brand, your audience, and the commercial goals these images need to achieve.

02

The game plan

A comprehensive mood board and shot list before anything is photographed. No surprises on the day.

03

The shoot

We manage all lighting, styling, and direction, working efficiently with minimal disruption to your day.

04

The polish and edit

A curated, high-resolution gallery delivered within 7 days, optimised for web, print, and social.

Client Reviews

  • "I had a 1-1 lesson with Sam today and she was absolutely fantastic. She really helped me to know how to use my camera and now I feel confident with all the settings. I am a complete novice and couldn’t take a picture that didn’t blur! By the end of the session I had lots and feel confident."

    - Ellen Devine - 1:1 Teaching Session

  • “Sam was fun to work with. The pictures look fab and she managed to turn them around in just a matter of days. Thank you!"

    - Liyen Mathew (Hot Pod Yoga Daventry Studio)

  • "Sam came along to one of my LinkedIn Essentials Training days and took new headshots for myself and the delegates as well as some BTS images and videos for me. She was a great contributor to the session and the images and video she captured were top notch. I will be working with Sam on all of my upcoming training days."

    - Marianne Avery (Headshot Event Partnership)

  • "Handled a specific corporate photography request brilliantly. I used Sam at Welly Pictures for Corporate Headshots. I needed the headshots to match existing images on the company website which was going to be tricky as Sam wasn't the original photographer. Sam was able to get great photos out of the individuals and edit the images exactly how I needed them. Superb outcome and lovely service from Sam."

    - Kyle M

  • "Sam produced some really lovely images for our portfolio, she came up with great shot ideas, was responsive and the turnaround time on the work was very quick."

    - Sarah Stokes

  • "Samantha from Welly photography came to take some wonderful photos of our farm and glamping / camping site. She was fantastic to deal with from the first conversation - she knew exactly what we wanted to convey in the photos and captured the site beautifully. The images were provided quickly and were all so good that we ended up buying the whole album. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. 5-star services and fantastic to deal with."
