Effortless Portraits
A portrait is so much more than a head and shoulders ‘head shot’. It’s an artistic image of you, which I create with warmth, energy, and trust. I look for the genuine, effortless version of you – not too posed, doing what you do, being who you are. A portrait might be professional or personal – I do believe women especially shouldn’t save having their photo taken to the big moments in life – celebrate you all the time. Professional portraits with me won’t be stiff or predictable. If you need a ‘head shot’ or images that profile your profession, it will be you in the best light, in a location that highlights your work, whether that’s your work space, outdoors, or a hired space. If you’re after photos of you just because, we can shoot somewhere that’s meaningful for you.
Elena made me feel comfortable, confident and provided gentle guidance to create the look and feel I wanted. The quality of the photos are outstanding and I can't recommend her enough. Thank you!

Booking Process
BOOKING
We’ll first lock in a date and time for your session. Once that’s confirmed, I’ll email you a booking request. A $250 deposit secures your date.
BEFORE THE SHOOT
Once you’re fully booked, you’ll get access to my online welcome page with styling tips (yes, what to wear), prep advice, a questionnaire, and a model release.
I’ll also be in touch to chat through ideas, locations, and what you want from your photos.
EDITING & RETOUCHING
Every selected image is carefully edited and delivered in both colour and black & white. I focus on natural tones and a cohesive look.
Extra retouching (small fixes, object removal, skin tweaks) can be added if you want, just ask for a quote.
GALLERY DELIVERY
Within 3–4 weeks, you’ll get a private online gallery to view, and select your images. You’ll receive high-res files for printing and low-res for sharing- because your photos deserve more than living forever in your camera roll.
PRINTS
You can order prints, albums and other products straight from your gallery. I’ve tested many printers and only work with the best labs, so you’re getting beautiful, true-to-colour prints that are made to last. No pressure, no hard sell, just options if you want them.
