what you can expect when working with ELP

EXPERIENCE

the

Working with me as your photographer (first of all, it would be an honor!), means trusting me to document some of your life’s most precious moments and memories. Whatever season you may be in, you are looking for a photographer who will comfort you while in front of the camera and ensure that you look amazing while doing so. You are wanting a photographer to create stunning photos and make the experience smooth and fun with guided posing and prompts. You are hoping to have a new go-to photographer that you build a trusting relationship with to document your love and family for years to come. 

I’ve been in your shoes, deep scrolling on Instagram in search of a photographer whose style is timeless in composition and true-to-color is editing. While you appreciate a good trend, you care more about your gallery telling the authentic story of your life and being given direction and guidance that is tailored to you and your personality, needs, and style. 

Well my friend, I hear you.

I approach photography as a mix of posed and prompted, giving you guidance when needed and also knowing when to allow a moment to play out uninterrupted. My style is timeless, focusing on preserving your season regardless of what is trending and popular. You can expect a true-to-color gallery with traditional “mom-shots” mixed in with care-free, easy, and creative images. Of course, we love a good black and white photo and the nostalgia it creates. Your favorite photos in your gallery might be different from mine, so I pride myself in delivering all of the best edited photos so choosing your favorites is in your hands rather than me putting a cap on your gallery size. 

But more importantly, my goal is to get to know you as we build a relationship because I believe that is the first step in creating a safe space where you feel comfortable to be your true self. The most fruitful experiences are those that come from a trusting and intentional relationship, which in turn, allows for genuine and true-to-you photography.
