A Photographer Who's Been There
As a mother, I’ve been there: adding anything beyond the normal tasks of everyday life can be daunting, and preparing for a family portrait session sometimes feels like the cherry on top of the chaos you’re holding together.
The Elle Luke Photography experience leads you from inquiry to your session and beyond through clear communication so you can anticipate every step of the way. I am a HUGE planner myself, and I want to make sure there are no surprises from start to finish. From the styling suggestions included in your welcome guide to a list of recommended locations and more, the ELP experience is designed to help mommas enjoy dressing up and playfully engaging with your family!
The ELP Process
As a motherhood photographer, I am committed to helping my fellow mommas have a family portrait experience that feels like a fun family outing. You deserve to have tangible evidence of the love you pour into your children every day, and getting that “proof of mom” in a way that you love can be difficult unless you set aside time for it. I want to capture you in your element as you playfully and lovingly interact with your children. When my little one was just a handful of months old, I realized that I had very, very few pictures of myself with her, and it absolutely broke my heart because she had already grown so much. Since then, I try to intentionally capture some of the moments we spend together, and the professional photos I have of my little family are something I hold so closely to my heart.

Step One: InquIRY
Step Five: Your Session
Step Four: Week of the Session
STEP THREE: THE WELCOME GUIDE
STEP TWO: BOOKING AND QUESTIONNAIRE
Step Six: Gallery Delivery
Two to three weeks after your session, I will send your digital gallery to your inbox. You will be able to download, print, post, and enjoy your images, and I hope you will choose to print and display them in your home where you can enjoy them every day with your loved ones!
During your session, I will prompt your family through different actions and poses and encourage you to interact with one another. This should be a time for you to focus on one another and really enjoy the love you share as a family; your session should become a fond memory!
During the week before your session, you will receive my “Week of The Session” guide, which includes tips and tricks for families with littles, tips for wardrobe prep, and what to expect during your session.
Once you are officially booked, you will receive a PDF copy of my welcome guide, which includes my style guide and locations list. This guide includes everything you need to prepare for your session, and you are of course welcome to reach out at any time!
I will send you a link with my calendar, and you can select the date that works best for your family. Once you’ve picked out a date, you will receive a contract, a questionnaire to help me get to know you better, and you will be prompted to pay your retainer to lock in your session date.
