How does this work?
Elizabeth will meet with you, the client, personally, to discuss what exactly you are wanting from your portrait session experience. This helps Elizabeth better visualize and plan for the photo session.
During this meeting, you will sign a model release form and pay the deposit to secure the booking.
After that? The fun really begins!

TIPS FOR PORTRAIT SESSIONS:
- Keep clothing choices and colors simple. Solids are great and are easily coordinated with, but don’t be afraid of patterns.
- Just don’t choose patterns that distract from the individual’s face.
- Remember: Extremely trendy outfits will date you almost immediately.
- Cover the arms and legs; too much skin showing can sometimes be distracting. (Leave the tank tops and Daisy Dukes at home!)
- Because Elizabeth’s sessions are usually outdoors, there is not always a facility nearby in which to change clothing. Bring clothing changes that are easy–some clients have been known to change in their car!
- Bring a favorite toy, or prop, if desired, but please let Elizabeth know beforehand. For Senior Portraits, hats, scarves, and ties can add to the fun of the photo session.
- Bring a hairbrush or comb, hairspray, and, depending on the time of year, insect repellant. (Don’t forget to apply sunscreen before the session.)
- Come relaxed and prepared to have fun!
