THE EYP EXPERIENCE
A Tailored Process — Iconic Results.
YOU are the most essential ingredient to any photoshoot. We're not here to do cookie-cutter poses or churn out generic-looking stock photos.
Your past, your dreams, your victories, your struggles: they all get a chance to be voiced so you can show up authentically, to truly own the amazing person you've become.

gentle Art direction that captures you at your best.
You'll be encouraged to express yourself in poses and motions, and you can expect to be lightly guided into the best angles and positions for the camera to capture your best side.

A process as stunning as the final photos
Time will fly by, but you'll be delighted by how much we can accomplish and how quickly you can preview the results.
“My mom and I haven’t taken professional photos together in 30 years. For a long time, I believed that family photos only held value if they featured a large, complete family.”
"I didn’t think it was worthwhile. However, I've had a mind shift. I’ve come to understand that every family, regardless of its size, deserves to celebrate and capture its special moments."
— Uree, Lifestyle Client
"I really appreciate the way she asked questions to understand and honor my vision/wishes for the shoot. I am absolutely thrilled with the way the photos turned out. 10/10 recommend Elle!
— Karen, Lifestyle Client
HOW IT WORKS
Your Initial Inquiry
However you inquire, the first step is the discovery call. We decide whether we're a good fit and if so, we'll set a tentative date and you'll pay a retainer to officially book your shoot.
Planning & Consulting
Once you've booked, we set up a design consult. This is a 30-60 minute meeting for us to get to know you and your vision, & create an action plan for your bespoke shoot.
Shooting, Preview,
and Delivery
On the day of the shoot, we'll get more than enough shots. Once the camera goes down, we jump into an instant image reveal. Final images will be delivered up to 3 weeks later.
Heirloom Albums and Wall Art
Every image you select will be delivered to you at least as an 8"x10" print. We assist you through the album and wall art creating process so it's one less thing to think about.
YOU SHOULD KNOW
Everyone is photogenic.
This is not just a nice saying, If you think you're not photogenic, you haven't been photographed properly.
Work hard and be nice.
We will always be a business with heart, that treats clients like fellow human beings who deserve care and respect.
It's all in the details.
And if you give us freedom to create, we'll give you much more than the shot list.
Fewer, better things.
Our clients would rather spend more on quality items that last, than spend less and replace them over and over again.
Capture every chapter.
Portraiture is never one and done. It's a lifelong commitment to documenting your life and the lives that are precious to you. We call them "dark eras," the periods of time where there is no photographic evidence of your existence.
