Once I receive your inquiry, we’ll chat about your vision, location ideas, outfits, and the overall feel you want for your session. I want this experience to feel relaxed, genuine, and true to you.

The day of
No pressure. No stiff posing. Just real moments. I’ll gently guide you when needed while also giving space for natural connection, movement, laughter, and those little in-between moments that often become the most meaningful.

Gallery delivery
After your session, I’ll carefully hand-edit your images and deliver your online gallery within in 1 to 2 weeks that's filled with memories you can revisit and feel all over again. Your story, preserved in a way that feels honest and timeless.
This is my first photoshoot and I’m kind of nervous.
That’s completely okay — most people I photograph say the same thing at first. You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do. I’ll guide you through the entire session with simple prompts and natural movement so nothing feels forced or awkward. My goal isn’t perfect poses — it’s capturing real feelings, genuine connection, and moments that feel like you. We’ll keep things relaxed, easy, and fun along the way.
What should I wear?
What you wear really depends on the occasion and the feeling you want your photos to have. I always recommend wearing something comfortable that you can move, walk, or even run around in naturally. Neutral tones and simple outfits photograph beautifully, and I usually suggest avoiding heavy prints or large logos so the focus stays on you and your connection with each other.
How many pictures will I receive?
45 minutes -- 25 photos
60 minute-session -- 30 photos
Photos will be delivered using a gallery delivery system.
What if my kids don’t cooperate?
That’s completely normal, and honestly, some of the sweetest moments happen in between the chaos. I keep sessions relaxed and playful rather than overly posed. The goal is to capture connection, personality, and real moments — not perfect behavior. Also, I've been working with kids for 10 years! :D
Can we bring our pets?
Always encouraged. Pets are family too, and they often bring the most fun and honest moments into a session.
What time is best for photos?
I highly recommend scheduling around sunrise or sunset when the light feels soft, warm, and cinematic. But we can make any time work.
What kind of moments do you capture?
I’m drawn to the in-between moments — laughter, movement, quiet connection, and the little details that make a memory feel real.
Are you available outside of Fayetteville, NC?
Absolutely! Where are we going?! :)

We had such a great experience with Elle! She was very punctual and incredibly good with kids. She handled our daughter so well, especially during moments when she was close to throwing tantrums. Elle knew exactly how to distract her and keep her engaged, which made the whole session feel smooth and stress-free. She also gave us plenty of prompts and posing suggestions, so we never felt awkward in front of the camera. All of the pictures turned out beautifully — we honestly didn’t expect the candid shots to look so meaningful and lovely. On top of that, her editing skills were amazing. Overall, we were extremely happy with the experience and will definitely be using her services again in the future.
The Mosquito Family
Our family photoshoot was such a beautiful and heartwarming experience that we will cherish forever. Ms. Elle made us feel completely comfortable like we were simply spending quality time together as a family instead of posing for pictures. The warmth, patience, and kindness especially with our children made the entire session feel so natural. When we received the photos, we were honestly emotional. Every image captured genuine smiles, laughter, loving glances and connection we share as a family. Our photos captured are more than just photographs, they are best memories we’ll treasure forever!

Elle did such a great job with my son’s junior prom pictures. She made him feel comfortable and at ease, despite it being his first time in front of a camera. The shots were absolutely fantastic and we were all blown away by how she captured him!
She was also very open to my ideas and input, which I appreciated greatly. We got most of the shots we wanted and it all looked really cool.
I definitely recommend booking her, if you want to feel comfortable and at ease while sometimes doing some “strange” poses, because she’ll get THE shot!
