A Photography by Nimmy cookbook

One shoot.
A month of content.

You've already got the good ingredients. This is the cookbook that turns one shoot, or one solid idea, into a month of content that still tastes like you. No more staring at an empty plate.

Free to read. Cooked up for the people on my content packages, and anyone tired of staring at a blank caption box.

01Why cook it more than once

A great dish is worth serving more than once.

Here is what nobody tells you: most people never even tasted your best post.

The feed moved on, they were mid nappy-change, the algorithm shrugged. One good idea, served once, is a dish nobody got to the table in time.

Cooking a good recipe again is not lazy, it is how it becomes your signature dish. Familiar feels trustworthy. The people who look like experts are just the ones brave enough to serve their best thing more than once.

The whole trick is serving the same idea in enough different ways that nobody clocks it is the same core recipe. That is what this cookbook is for.

02The house recipe

Anchor to Angle to Ask

Three steps every recipe in this cookbook follows. Once they click, "I have nothing to post" turns into a month of content.

Start with your

Anchor

Your hero ingredient. The one message, belief, or single shoot worth cooking with again and again. You build every dish around this, not around random ideas.

Then pick your

Angle

The recipe. The format you cook it into: a story, a myth-bust, a before and after, a hot take. Same ingredient every time, a brand new dish. The Recipe Book below is your menu.

Always serve to

Ask

The occasion. Every dish earns its place by moving one person one step:

Get Seen. Reach, saves, shares, new faces at the table.
Get Trusted. Comments, DMs, replies, regulars.
Get Booked. Enquiries, clicks, bookings.
03From the kitchen

The Recipe Maker

Give me one ingredient (what your post is about) and I will plate up a week of dishes. Season them so they taste like you, then serve. This is a taster; the full kitchen lives on your dashboard when you are on a content package.

06Your sous-chef

Let your sous-chef do the prep

AI is your sous-chef, not the head chef (that is you). Paste these into ChatGPT or Claude, then season every line so it tastes like you before it is served. Tap a card to copy it.

Find your hero ingredients

Here are my last 20 captions [paste them]. Read them like a strategist and tell me the 3 to 5 core messages I keep circling back to. For each one, name the belief underneath it in a single sentence I could repeat for a year.
Copy prompt

One shoot to a week's menu

I am a photographer. I just delivered a [family beach] session. Give me a 2-week posting calendar that turns this one shoot into 10 posts, using these goals: Get Seen, Get Trusted, Get Booked. For each, give the format, the hook, and the caption's first line.
Copy prompt

Serve one caption ten ways

Take this caption [paste] and rewrite it into 10 different formats: listicle, hot take, myth-buster, story, behind the scenes, how I, framework, FAQ, before and after, and offer. Keep the same core message. Keep my tone warm and plain, no hype.
Copy prompt

What is actually selling

I have uploaded a CSV of my posts and their reach, saves and enquiries. Find my top 10, tell me what they share (hook, format, topic, goal), flag the underperformers, and tell me which 3 formats to make more of. Be specific, not generic.
Copy prompt

Make it taste like me

Rewrite this so it sounds like me, not like AI. My voice: warm, direct, a bit playful, plain words, no jargon, no hype, no em dashes. Short sentences. Kiwi. Talk to one person, not an audience.
Copy prompt

Copy and paste is where good content goes to taste like everyone else. Always add your own seasoning.

Cooking for yourself every week is a lot. If you would rather someone planned it, shot it, and turned it into a month of content with you, that is what my content packages are for. Either way, this cookbook is yours to keep and use.
