Introducing Kindred Indigo: Nostalgic Brand Photography & Storytelling Films
For years, I have carried a camera with one simple purpose: to remember.
Not just to document what something looked like, but to preserve how it felt.
The things we don't realize are becoming memories until they are already gone.
That desire is what first brought me into photography, and it is also what has led me here.
Introducing Kindred Indigo: a new storytelling branch of Relerford Film Co created for brands, businesses, and makers who believe what they create matters.
So, what is Kindred Indigo?
Kindred Indigo is my approach to nostalgic brand photography, cinematic storytelling films, and lifestyle imagery.
It is storytelling rooted in feeling.
The kind of imagery that makes someone pause and think:
"This reminds me of something."
Maybe it's the feeling of childhood summers.
Maybe it's a family recipe passed down through generations.
Maybe it's the coffee shop where someone spends their quiet mornings, the handmade product created with care, or the small business built from a dream.
The strongest brands are not just selling something.
They are creating a feeling.
And those feelings deserve to be captured.
Why is Kindred Indigo showing up on Relerford Film Co?
Relerford Film Co will always be the foundation of my work.
It began with families. With motherhood. With documenting the seasons of life that move far too quickly.
Those sessions taught me something I carry into every project:
People connect with stories.
They connect with authenticity.
They connect with moments that feel real.
Over time, I realized the same thing I loved capturing for families was also what drew me to brands.
The hands behind the product.
The story behind the business.
The reason someone started in the first place.
The little details that make something meaningful.
Kindred Indigo is not a departure from the work I've always done.
It is a return to the reason I picked up a camera.
Where childhood meets storytelling
Much of the work you'll see from Kindred Indigo begins with childhood.
Because childhood is one of the purest examples of nostalgia.
The adventures created from ordinary afternoons.
The imagination that turns a backyard into an entire world.
Those moments remind us why storytelling matters.
They remind us what we want our customers, our families, and future generations to feel.
But nostalgia isn't limited to childhood.
It lives everywhere.
Creating imagery that feels remembered, not advertised
The goal behind Kindred Indigo is simple:
To create photography and films that feel like memories.
Not perfectly polished moments without a story.
Not images that simply show a product.
But imagery that invites people into a world.
A feeling.
A moment they can imagine themselves being part of.
Whether you are launching a new collection, sharing the story behind your business, or creating something you hope lasts for generations, your brand has a story worth telling.
And I would be honored to help you tell it.
Welcome to Kindred Indigo.
Because the things that matter are worth remembering.
