🎙️ Guest Sessions: Becca Cherry – Telling the Story Through Natural Light & Soulful Styling

In this episode of The Shoot Academy Guest Sessions, we’re joined by the brilliant Becca Cherry – a soulful interiors photographer, designer, and co-author of the beautiful seasonal guide, A Home for All Seasons.

Becca’s images are all about mood, light, and authenticity. She shares how she captures the true essence of a space – not through perfection, but through soulful storytelling and the simple magic of natural light. From Suffolk cottages to French châteaux, Becca’s work champions homes with character and connection.

We talk about:

✨ What Becca looks for when she arrives at a home – light, texture, and signs of life

✨ How to create photos that feel real, soulful, and styled with intention

✨ Why perfection isn’t the goal – and how small details (like slippers by a chair) tell powerful stories

✨ Practical tips for photographing your own home – including how to work with light, avoid harsh shadows, and style simply

✨ Working with co-author Kay Prestney to create A Home for All Seasons 

✨ The myth of “expensive = better” – and why soul and authenticity matter more than designer finishes

✨ How to use your iPhone to take great functional photos of your space

✨ Why consumers today are craving real homes, not studio sets

✨ An exciting upcoming Shoot Academy x Becca & Kay workshop on styling, photography, and shoot hosting

Whether you’re looking to shoot your own home, improve your DIY listing photos, or simply fall back in love with your space – this episode is packed with gentle wisdom, practical advice, and quiet inspiration.
