Editorial storytelling sessions -

not just pretty pictures

I photograph stories.

Each session unfolds like a chapter: where you are now, what you’re letting go of, and who you’re becoming next. We plan your shoot around emotion, not around a checklist of poses.

The result feels less like a photoshoot and more like a story you can step inside.

  1. we start with a conversation

  2. we build a concept around your life right now

  3. each shoot has a beginning, middle, and after

  4. your images are meant to feel like pages from a book and YOU are the main character!

What is included in your

portrait session

From the moment you enter my studio, everything is designed to strip away the noise and spotlight you — your fire, your edges, your magnetism. From private styling to guided posing to handcrafted Italian keepsakes, this isn’t just a session; it’s proof of the power you’ve always carried.

How it works

1. Complimentary consultation

Complimentary consultations are offered before every photo session at Elle Photo Studio, allowing you to ask questions, discuss your vision, and feel fully prepared before booking.

A session is highly personal, and I want this to be a session that represents you the best (not what you think you HAVE to do)

During this meeting, we’ll go through ideas, brainstorm, and I’ll get to know you a bit better before your session. We’ll talk wardrobe, see what you have, what I have, and decide what you should bring along to your session. I’ll also send you a prep guide so by the time you get to the studio, all nerves will be settled and you’ll already feel more confident going into your session.

2. Professional hair and makeup

As part of your comprehensive portrait experience, we include professional hair and makeup by a licensed esthetician/pro makeup artist.

The focus isn’t on trends or transformation, but on refined, camera-ready artistry that still feels like you.

Your artist works collaboratively with you, welcoming inspiration and prioritizing comfort. The goal is a polished, rested version of yourself—one that translates beautifully under studio lighting and feels natural when you see it.

If you already know exactly how you like to show up, a self-styled option is available. Either way, I’ll ensure your look photographs cohesively so your images feel intentional, timeless, and true to you.

3. Your guided boudoir Session

My sessions are specifically tailored to you with various artistic lighting set-ups, backgrounds, poses, and style changes. My goal is to ensure you feel comfortable, beautiful, confident, and empowered.

During your photoshoot, I will direct you through elegant poses, focusing on angles that bring out your most beautiful self while providing a luxurious day of pampering.

4. The gallery reveal

Your experience doesn’t end when the camera stops clicking. About a week after your session, we’ll meet again for your personal gallery reveal - a relaxed, champagne-worthy moment where you’ll see your portraits for the very first time. Together, we’ll select your favorite images and design the perfect way to display them, whether that’s in a handcrafted album, elegant wall art, or other luxury keepsakes.
