THE EXPERIENCE

A FULLY GUIDED PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIENCE FROM THE FIRST PHONE CALL TO ARTWORK DELIVERY

Your family photos deserve more than a “session and online gallery” model.


Working with Elissa is a thoughtful, artwork-focused experience designed so your photographs don’t get lost in the digital space and left unfinished.


From the very beginning, we plan with the final results in mind—how your images will live in your home and what you want this season in your family to mean years from now.

PLANNING

 We start with intention, not simply logistics.


Before your session, we’ll meet and talk through what matters most to you—where your artwork might live, the feeling you’re drawn to, and the story you want these images to tell.

You’ll receive:


  • Styling guidance tailored to your session
     
  • Location and timing recommendations
     
  • Clear expectations so nothing feels uncertain
     

You don’t need to have a vision board or know exactly what you want.
That’s part of what I help you uncover.

THE SESSION

Relaxed, guided, and surprisingly FUN.


Sessions are upbeat and gently directed, with space for real moments to unfold naturally. I’ll guide you into flattering positions, keep things moving, and help you feel confident in front of the camera—without stiff posing or pressure.


You don’t need to perform.
You don’t need to be perfect.
You just need to show up.

This is where the experience begins to feel effortless.

THE IMAGE REVEAL & DESIGN APPOINTMENT

This is where everything comes together.


After your session, Elissa presents your images in your home for a guided image reveal. This is not a rushed decision or an online gallery where you are left to figure everything out alone.


Together, we will:

  • View your images for the first time
     
  • Choose your must have photographs
     
  • Design finished artwork intentionally for your home and heart
     

Wall art, albums, and custom pieces are designed to scale, style, and space—so what you choose feels right long after the appointment ends.


You’ll never be handed dozens of options or left wondering what to do.
