Ellen’s Technique

My style is fun, calm and relaxed. My clients say I have a natural ability to make people laugh and feel comfortable. This leads to portraits that let the clients true spirit shine through. This approach to portraits means your images will be unlike anyone else’s.

A typical session:

In order to give your family the time and attention you deserve, each session is personally customized to meet the needs of your family. Our portrait sessions are never hurried and typically last up to two hours.

I am always willing to work with you to establish the best time of day for your portrait session.

Sessions are available at your home or on location.

What to wear/have on hand:

Your personal consultation will help establish what clothing will work best for your photographic session. Typically an assortment of light and dark clothing with simple or no patterns work best. If anticipating a full body portrait, keep in mind what will go on your feet. Shoes should be clean and simple. At times, bear feet work best.

Also, keep in mind treasured keepsakes like Grandma’s pearls or your child’s favorite toy. Having simple but meaningful objects in your portraits will make them even more cherished for years to come.

I look forward to discussing your portrait needs and can custom design a package to fit your personal taste.

Viewing the images:

You will be notified when your images are available for viewing. Typically 10 days.
