I had a wonderful experience with Elliott. From the very beginning, he created such a comfortable, calm, and supportive space, which meant so much to me—especially since being photographed isn’t easy for me. His presence, patience, and sensitivity made the entire session feel safe and natural. I’m truly grateful for his professionalism and care, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who genuinely sees the person in front of the camera. Thank you again, Elliott. Esma 💛

Fantastic experience. Our brief online chat let me know what to do-- show up with a couple of outfits I like-- and then our photo session was a ton of fun.

Elliott is a craftsman, I really appreciated the chance to watch him at ... read more

I had a great time working with Elliott for professional portraits as I transition to a new job and career phase. Setting up the appointment and preparing for the shoot was seamless. The hair and makeup artist was wonderful. I was at ease throughout the shoot and found that he captured my best self, coming up with multiple images that I could use. Highly recommend!

Elliott is very talented & fun to work with. I was really unsure about the whole thing at the beginning, but instead of feeling awkward, I spent the whole shoot laughing at this goofball photographer. He really went the extra mile to put me at ease. And he's a great pose coach! His photos came out amazing. It was hard to narrow down our selections. Highly recommend.
