Coming alongside small businesses and nonprofits share their mission and impact with clarity and heart.

Stories and Films, a branch of Claire Dorise Photos & Films, specializes in storytelling imagery for businesses & non profits both across the US & worldwide. From impact stories and campaign films to small business brand imagery, each project is designed to highlight your values and connect with your audience on a deeper level. I love to meet the foundations of your organization with creativity, crafting imagery thats true to who you are.

It’s just me, Claire, here to give my full attention to your project from start to finish. This is the best, because allows me to truly come alongside you in telling your story.

I’m in this for the people! One of my favorite things about working with small businesses and non profits is the communities I am introduced to! There are so many incredible corners of the world making an impact, serving people with care, creating communal spaces - and it is a gift to get to be a part of.

A one on one approach.

What we create together…

  • I love to craft documentary style films that show the impact of nonprofits through the stories of those they serve. I am passionate about deeply knowing your vision & people, and creating from that space, staying true to the core of your mission.

  • I love small businesses, unique crafts & skills, and diving deep into other worlds. Creating a brand film for you means bringing intentional imagery that shows your passion.

  • Telling your story through stills.

What does the process look like?

Inquire.

First, submit an inquiry so we can get acquainted! Tell me as much information as you know about your project and company.

Meetup.

We’ll set up a meeting so I can ask some questions. I’d love to get to know your vision, history, and heart. If we’re a good fit, we’ll both know it, and we can move on to the planning stage!

Budget.

After we establish that we’re a good culture / vision fit, we’ll talk through budget & deliverables to ensure you’re getting exactly what you need out of our work together.

Planning.

Now we plan! We’ll create the best structure to capture what you’re looking for. Locations, dates, interview questions, storyboards, the works!

Production!

Production of course looks different for each shoot, but this is where the magic happens!
