Both styles are designed to let children simply be themselves.

Just honest, joyful portraits of your child as they are in that moment.

What Makes Ellobelle Photography Different
01.
The School Photo Experience
From first contact to final delivery, this process is designed to make photo day feel calm, joyful, and easy.
planning
I collaborate with each school to choose dates that align with your academic calendar and minimize classroom disruption. Together we will decide which style best fits your students, whether Fine Art Portraits or Lifestyle Sessions, and review payment options that work best for your school, either a deposit model or no upfront cost.
Once details are confirmed, I will create a custom photo day schedule and provide a website link for your school to share with families. This includes helpful information about how to prepare for photo day, gallery delivery, and ordering details.
My goal is always to make photo day simple, seamless, and enjoyable for everyone involved.
photo day
On photo day, I create a relaxed and welcoming environment where children feel safe to be themselves. Using natural light and a child-led approach, I capture genuine expressions and authentic moments. The process is simple, playful, and enjoyable for both students and teachers.
editing
Every image is edited with care to highlight the natural beauty and unique personality of each child. I preserve soft tones and true-to-life colors, keeping the portraits honest and timeless. The result is a collection of photographs that feel full of life and love.
