Why I didn’t take my big camera with me to the P

Why I didn’t take my big camera with me to the Philippines? Because I wanted to be present in every moment of this once-in-a-lifetime family heritage trip. While I love my Nikon Z6II I shot almost all of these pictures and videos with my iPhone 13 Pro. Some days I used my Fujifilm XT20 but I love the portability of just using my iPhone.

Here is 30-second recap of my trip that fills me with joy (and maybe a few tears) every time I watch it. Isn’t that the purpose of photography? Capture those moments, my friends! I’m always here to help you capture YOUR life’s moments as well.

A little late posting but feeling a whole lot of gratitude for my life as a photographer. 2022 was an amazing year filled with travel to Las Vegas, Venice, Paris, and Dublin. Thank you to each and every client for allowing me to capture your story. Can’t wait to see you all again in 2023! ♥️

What is one key to my business success? It’s not

What is one key to my business success? It’s not my fancy photography gear, props or even a studio. It’s having a group of fellow business owners who “get it” to support each other. We celebrate together through all the ups and encourage one another through the inevitable downs of owning a business. Being an entrepreneur doesn’t mean you need to do it alone. Can’t wait to share with you some exciting news for 2023! Stay tuned!

Virtual headshots?? You bet! It’s the next best thing for team members working remotely (as in Hawaii). So I guided her every step of the way from finding the best natural light to posing and expression. It was so quick and easy for my client and a whole lot of fun as well!

What brings you JOY? As busy entrepreneurs we can

What brings you JOY? As busy entrepreneurs we can get so focused on our businesses and easily forget about what else (besides our work and wonderful clients 😉) brings us joy. As I look through some of my family’s photos and videos, remembering these moments in time bring me so much joy. ❤️ Take a moment TODAY to capture what brings YOU joy. I’d love to see what you come up with.

Why would you want an AVERAGE senior portrait sess

Why would you want an AVERAGE senior portrait session with AVERAGE senior pictures to show for it? Chances are … YOU DON’T. This is not the time to be average. This is your time to be exceptional … after all, you don’t take senior pics every year!

Here’s what Jackie had to say about her senior session:

“My experience with Elle was beyond perfect. I loved the hair and makeup, the location of my photoshoot, the lighting, and the poses. I am so happy I chose Elle to capture my senior pictures instead of the typical HS studio, because of the amazing quality of her work and how she made me feel. The whole experience went perfectly and I would not change a single thing.”

Are YOU ready for the ultimate senior session experience? We can’t wait to connect with you and start your booking process! Go to www.ellefortephotography.com and fill out our contact form & we’ll get started TODAY!
