What should I wear?
When choosing an outfit for a photo shoot, keep these three things in mind:
1. Are you comfortable?
You want to look natural in your photos, so avoid wearing anything that will restrict your movement or make you feel uncomfortable.
2. Does it look like you?
Your photos should reflect who you are, so wear something that feels true to your personal style and makes you feel pretty.
3. Does it fit the vibe?
Before your photo shoot, we'll discuss the aesthetic or vibe you want to achieve. Make sure your outfit fits this vibe. For example, if we decide on a pastel theme, avoid wearing black.
If you're still not sure what to wear, bring a few different outfits to the shoot, or contact me for guidance.
What is the booking process?
At E.L.N. Photography, I strive to make your booking experience as smooth and straightforward as possible. Here’s how it works:
-
Reach Out
-
The best way to book a session is by filling out the Booking Form on my website—this ensures I have all the details to get started quickly. You can also reach out via email or text, but please note these may take a little longer for a response. Let me know what type of session you’re interested in (senior portraits, lifestyle shoot, product photography, etc.), your preferred dates, and any special ideas or details you have in mind. Don’t worry if you’re not sure about all the specifics yet—we’ll work through them together!
-
-
Consultation
-
Once I receive your Booking Form or inquiry—whether by text, DM, or email—I’ll respond within 24-72 hours to confirm availability and discuss your vision. We’ll chat about locations, props, outfits, and how to bring your story to life through my lens. This is also the perfect time to ask any questions about the process!

-
Booking Confirmation
-
After finalizing the details, I’ll send you a confirmation email with your session date, time, and location. Additionally, you’ll need to sign a photography contract to confirm the session and outline the terms. This ensures everything is clear and agreed upon before your shoot. A small deposit of $20 is required to secure your spot. Payment methods and deposit information will be included in this email.

-
Preparation
-
In the days leading up to your session, I’ll send you tips to help you prepare. These could include outfit suggestions, makeup ideas, or location details to ensure everything is perfect for your shoot.

-
Photoshoot Day
-
On the day of your session, all you need to do is show up and be yourself! I’ll guide you through the poses and ensure you feel comfortable, relaxed, and confident. Together, we’ll create photos that tell your unique story.
-
-
Editing and Delivery
-
After the shoot, I’ll carefully select and edit the best images. My editing process typically takes 2-3 weeks, depending on the session type. As a full-time high school student, I juggle academics and editing your photos, so the timeframe is meant to provide more than enough time for me to ensure every photo is treated with exceptional care and attention. I pay close attention to every minor detail to ensure your images are absolutely flawless. Before the full gallery is ready, I’ll also send you a few preview images to give you an early look at your session. Once your photos are prepared, I’ll deliver them to you via an online gallery where you can download high-resolution files. Please note that the gallery will only be available for one week, so be sure to download all your photos within that timeframe.

-
Enjoy and Share
-
Your photos are yours to keep and cherish! Feel free to share them on social media, print them, or simply enjoy them as a beautiful reminder of this moment in your life. However, please do not edit, filter, or alter the photos in any way to maintain the integrity of the final edits. If you post online, I’d love it if you tag @e.l.n._photography to spread the word!
