  • "Truthfully, I can’t say enough about my experience working with Ellen and “Real People” and highly recommend her to anyone. I admit that I was a little uncomfortable putting myself in front of the camera, but from the beginning Ellen made me feel so comfortable. She had a great eye in discerning what would look best on me and for the camera, and so totally took the stress out of that. But the most amazing part, was how she made me feel seen for who I really am. And for that I am so grateful, The shots are beautiful and will be very helpful putting the real me, out into the world. Many thanks Ellen."

An individualized process from start to finish.

Before

Let’s get to know each other! We begin with a conversation about your vision and goals for your photoshoot. Together, we’ll map out the details, from wardrobe and styling preferences to location choices. Whether you’re more comfortable at your home, at my home, on location, or outdoors, we’ll create a plan that suits you perfectly.

Shoot Day

Your shoot day is all about bringing out your best. I provide guided styling and work with an optional hair & makeup artist to ensure we get the most natural, flattering look. With a commitment to creating an unrushed, collaborative, and creative process tailored to your needs and schedule, I typically schedule only one client per day.

After 

Following the shoot, you'll receive access to an online gallery showcasing your high-resolution JPEG images. These images are yours to download and keep. Retouching services are available, either included in the session fee or as an add-on option. Your photos will be perfect for sharing with anyone in your life!

I would love to work together! Please reach out to me for rates and scheduling.
