Our Story

We help corporate and personal brands create story telling content that sells

Progressive businesses understand how important it is to communicate their culture and values to their target markets. People are moved by stories. So let’s tell yours by bringing your customers behind-the-scenes and showing your company off at its very best.

WorkStory creates custom commercial photography and videos so you never have to use a cheesy, boring, cliché stock photo again!

Our photo sessions are on location at your Spokane or Coeur d'Alene area business, and we capture candid moments throughout the day in the life of your organization. Our style of photography helps you engage your own clientele, showing them the unique way that you deliver your services. With content created by WorkStory, you’ll improve your transparency, build trust and increase your perceived value.

About Tanya Smith

Tanya Goodall Smith is the owner and lead photographer at WorkStory Brand Photography.

She graduated with a degree in Graphic Design from The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in 2004 and worked for 20 years as a graphic designer and art director for brands like HP, GUESS, Universal Studios Hollywood and...over 100 Dentists nationwide.
After one 8-hour day searching for the "right" stock photo for a local dentist's newsletter, she wondered why in the world they hadn't just done a custom photoshoot instead, and the idea for WorkStory was born.

WorkStory offers what she wished she had at her disposal for small business clients all those years ago: an alternative to generic stock photography. Tanya’s experience is broad and her ability to create imagery appropriate for any brand is considered her strong point.

Businesses hire her team to create storytelling content that sells their high end products and services so they never have to use a boring, cheesy, cliché stock photo again!  Her style of photography helps you engage your own clientele, showing them the unique way that you deliver your services. With content created by WorkStory, you’ll improve your transparency, build trust and increase your perceived value.

In addition to her past work as a designer, Tanya is a talented writer and educational ambassador at slrlounge.com. She also teaches other photographers her unique business model at workstoryeducation.com.

She and her husband and three children have lived in Liberty Lake since 2009 and they absolutely love the Inland Northwest!
