Turn one great project into more than a before-and-after

Multi-visit photography + video that follows a real project, giving you useful content throughout the project and a proper case study once it’s finished.

Build the kind of proof that helps future clients understand why they should work with you before they ever enquire.

From $2200

The finished result is only part of what you’re selling.

Most businesses document a project in one of two ways.

A quick before-and-after.

Or a photographer comes out once everything is finished and looking pretty.

But if that’s all you show, you’re missing most of the stuff that actually demonstrates why someone should choose you.

That’s what Project Stories are designed to capture.

What Businesses are saying

Shoots Feel natural, I fit around what’s happening, and people end up with a lot more content than they expected.

Tahlia was fantastic to work with. She was professional, captured the evening beautifully, and delivered great images. She was also incredibly prompt in her communication before and after the event, which made the whole process easy. Highly recommend!

Tahlia was delightful to deal with. She's a patient photographer, making it easy to relax in front of the camera. She took images of me, my work and my art studio (for the upcoming Dandenong Ranges Open Studios event in March 2026), capturing all of these elements cleverly in context. Thanks for all your efforts, Tahlia. I look forward to working with you next year!

I had the pleasure of working with Tahlia, and honestly — she’s amazing to work with! From the moment she arrived, everything just clicked. It’s not often you find someone who gets your vision straight away, but we found our match. Her attention to detail, creativity, and easygoing energy made the whole experience effortless. Highly recommend her for anyone needing professional photography done right! 📸

Tahlia is an exceptional photographer! I have been so impressed by Tahlia's professionalism and with how well Tahlia brought our vision to life. I received this feedback from a colleague on one of the photos that Tahlia took, and it speaks for itself: "Oh my gosh.. that second photo, is maybe the nicest photo anyone has taken of anyone before... That is spectacular! These are absolutely perfect"

I am delighted to write this review of Tahlia Heitmann at Half Glass Studios following the recently established website she has created for me. I wanted something elegant, simple and affordable to archive and publicise my greater body of artwork and other relevant information about me as an artist. Securing Tahlia's services was the best decision. Tahlia was completely professional throughout the whole process. She listened closely to my thoughts on website layout allowing me to feel in control of the whole aesthetics and format of the website during its creation. In our face to face appointments Tahlia was always punctual and was able to customize the site to my specific requirements. Her sense of design is very mature where she quickly grasped the concepts and feel of my artwork to showcase it in its most favourable light. Tahlia's followup accessibility was most appreciated as I learned how to manage the site. She solved issues promptly to make it all work. I am so pleased with the end result and highly recommend her to others.

Had an amazing photoshoot with Tahlia today, she’s such a pro. Had a boudoir shoot and Tahlia just made us all so comfortable! This girl gets all the angles and lighting down to a T to make sure it’s the best results. Can’t wait to see the finish product, definitely worth checking out her website for some already done projects🧡🩷

Meet Project Stories

Project Stories are for businesses whose work unfolds over multiple stages and is worth documenting from process to outcome.

Rather than booking one shoot, I come back at key points throughout one project. Each visit gives us another piece of the story and another batch of content you can start using straight away.

Content as you go

Professional photos, video clips and 2 finished Reels from every visit. You don’t need to wait until the project is over before you get anything useful.

A bigger content library

Instead of one folder of finished-project photos, you end up with assets showing the work, team, process, expertise, progress and final result.

A proper case study

Once the project is finished, everything we’ve captured comes together into a longer Project Story film you can use across your website, socials and sales process.

If you want more work like this, give people more than the finished result

A Project Story isn’t about documenting every second of a job for the sake of it.

We’re deliberately capturing the parts that help someone understand what they’re actually paying for and what makes your business worth choosing.

SHOW THE PROCESS

Help people understand what actually goes into delivering the finished result.

MAKE YOUR EXPERTISE VISIBLE

Capture the decisions, explanations and problem solving that normally happen onsite and disappear afterwards.

SHOW WHO THEY’RE HIRING

Let future clients see the team behind the work and get some sense of the personalities they’ll actually be dealing with.

ATTRACT MORE OF THIS WORK

Turn a strong project into a properly documented example you can point to when you want more enquiries for something similar.

The goal is for someone to binge your website and socials and already have a pretty decent idea of whether they want to work with you.

That makes for a much nicer enquiry than having to explain your entire business from scratch every time.

What’s included at every visit?

UP TO 2 HOURS ONSITE

Focused on the stage we’ve deliberately chosen to document.


PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Edited photos of the work, progress, team and anything particularly important from that visit.


COLOUR-GRADED VIDEO CLIPS

Individual clips delivered for you or whoever handles your marketing to continue using.


MIC’D UP AUDIO

Natural explanations, opinions, information and updates captured while someone from the team is actually working.


2 FINISHED REELS

The strongest audio is paired with the visual content from the visit and turned into two finished vertical videos.

Then we turn the whole project into one story

By the final visit, I don’t just have footage of a nice finished project. I’ve got the starting point, different stages of work, conversations from onsite, decisions being explained while they’re actually relevant, the team, the problems that came up and finally, what you delivered.

That becomes your finished Project Story film.

It’ll still show the quality of the work and make the finished result look good. But I’m not aiming to make a montage of pretty shots, cut to a sterile sit-down interview and some elevator music.

I want it to feel like the project we’ve actually been following.

A little more raw and conversational, while still clearly communicating the value, process, expertise and result. Something you can put on a project page, use across your service pages or send directly to someone considering hiring you for something similar.

So how do the Reels actually work?

At every visit, someone involved in that stage of the project gets mic’d up while they’re working.

I’m not handing them a script or asking them to remember six talking points. I’ll prompt them with questions as we go to get natural opinions, explanations, useful information and project updates out of the work that’s already happening.

At the same time, I’m photographing and filming everything around them.

The strongest audio is then paired with the photos and video from the visit, so we’re not just watching someone stand in front of the camera and talk. We hear them explaining the work while we’re actually seeing it happen.

Each visit gives you 2 finished vertical Reels, alongside the individual photos and video clips.

Choose how much of the project we follow

2 VISITS

Capture the key stages

For projects where there are two obvious stages worth documenting and we don’t need to follow the entire thing.

Example:

  • Visit 1 — Project underway
  • Visit 2 — Finished result

You’ll get:

  • Up to 4 hours total onsite
  • 4 finished Reels
  • Professional photography at both visits
  • Colour-graded video clips
  • Mic’d up spoken content
  • Finished Project Story film
  • Online gallery

$2200 incl. GST

3 VISITS

Follow more of the process

For projects with a clear progression and enough happening between the start and finish that it’s worth coming back.

Example:

  • Visit 1 — Starting point / early works
  • Visit 2 — Major work underway
  • Visit 3 — Finished result

You’ll get:

  • Up to 6 hours total onsite
  • 6 finished Reels
  • Professional photography at every visit
  • Colour-graded video clips
  • Mic’d up spoken content
  • Finished Project Story film
  • Online gallery

$3000 incl. GST

4 VISITS

Follow it from start to finish

For longer or more involved projects where we’d miss too much of the actual work with only two or three visits.

Example:

  • Visit 1 — Starting point
  • Visit 2 — Early works
  • Visit 3 — Major work/transformation
  • Visit 4 — Finished result

You’ll get:

  • Up to 8 hours total onsite
  • 8 finished Reels
  • Professional photography at every visit
  • Colour-graded video clips
  • Mic’d up spoken content
  • Finished Project Story film
  • Online gallery

$3800 incl. GST

How it works

Plan the project story

We’ll start with a call to go through the project, what you’re working on, the timeline, the kind of work you want more of and what would actually be useful to capture.

From there, we’ll decide whether 2, 3 or 4 visits make sense and map out the stages we’d ideally like to document.

We don’t need exact shoot dates locked in yet. We’re working out what’s worth capturing and roughly when it’s likely to happen.

Capture the first stage

When we hit the first stage we’ve planned for, I’ll come onsite for up to two hours.

Someone involved in the project gets mic’d up, I’ll prompt the conversation while they work and capture the professional photography + video around what’s happening.

After the visit, you’ll receive the photos, colour-graded clips and 2 finished Reels from that stage.

Keep me in the loop

You keep working and keep me updated as the project progresses.

We’ll lock in each remaining visit based on what’s actually happening onsite rather than forcing the project to fit dates we chose months earlier.

Then we repeat the process — capture the stage, get someone talking, and turn it into another batch of photos, clips and finished content.

Finish the story

At the final visit, we’ll properly document the completed project and anything else we need to finish the story.

Then I’ll pull together what we’ve captured across every visit — the progress, work, conversations, decisions, people and final result — into your finished Project Story film.

By the end, you’ve got the finished case study and all the content you’ve already been receiving throughout the project.


Is a Project Story actually right for you?

You’re a fit if:

  • Your project unfolds across multiple stages.
  • It’s a strong example of the type of work you want more of.
  • There’s useful process, expertise or problem solving worth showing.
  • You have someone who’s happy to get mic’d up while they work.
  • You want content for more than one social post.
  • You want a proper project case study once it’s finished.

You’re probably not a fit if:

  • The whole job happens in a couple of hours.
  • There’s only one stage worth photographing.
  • You just need some fresh photos + video clips.
  • You don’t need the deeper project story or finished content.

Captured While You Work or a Content Day will probably make more sense instead.

About Me

I’m a photographer and content creator, but I’ve also spent a lot of time working in marketing and social media for service businesses and, briefly, onsite myself as a fabricator and labourer.

So I understand that a worksite is there to get a job done first. I’m not expecting everyone to down tools every five minutes because I need another shot, and I’m pretty comfortable working around people, tools, noise, dust and whatever else is going on.

The marketing side matters too. While I’m shooting, I’m constantly thinking about where the content could actually be useful later.

And because Project Stories involve getting people mic’d up and talking while they’re working, being able to read the person and the environment matters.

I don’t need your team to suddenly become content creators for the day. I just need them to know their job. I’ll handle the rest.

One project. A lot more to show for it.

By the time the job is finished, you’re not trying to wring months of marketing out of one before-and-after post.


You’ve got content showing the work as it happened, your expertise in context, the people behind it and the finished result — across professional photos, video clips, finished Reels and a longer Project Story film.

One properly documented example of what hiring your business actually looks like.
