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.

How long does it take to get my photos back?

​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.​

Where are you located?

E.L.N. Photography is based in the beautiful city of New Orleans, Louisiana - a place that's just bursting with photo opportunities! With its stunning architecture and beautiful oak trees, there's simply no better place to be. 

Do you offer hair and makeup?

I'm sorry, but I do not offer hair and makeup services. However, feel free to come in whatever makes you feel most comfortable and confident. You can choose to wear no makeup at all, do it yourself, or even have a professional makeup artist do it for you. It's entirely up to you!

How long does it take to receive my photos?

Typically, it takes about two-three weeks to edit and deliver your photos, but the exact timeline can vary depending on the complexity and scope of the shoot. I'll keep you updated throughout the process to ensure you know when to expect your final images.

Should I ask for extended or shortened time for my Portrait photo session?

To make the most of your session, I recommend planning at least an hour. It's normal to feel a bit camera-shy at first, so it's important to have time to adjust to the feeling of having your picture taken. Headshots might require less time than creative portraits, and groups might need more time than solo sessions. Feel free to contact me for a recommendation on your specific situation.
