Testimonials

Keeli Manning

Owner of Doomsday Pasta

"We were first introduced to Ella in the spring of 2023 and immediately grew a fondness for her pictures that seem to capture those secret hidden moments you wish for in your photographs. We had an opportunity to work together for the first time for a workshop involving small children, so I needed pictures I could publish that didn’t include faces, but somehow still capture the spirit of the day.

Ella was so fun to work with! Extremely clear minded in her goal of giving us the professional images we were looking for and a clear communicator. She captured the the energy of the day with respect to our time and budget which made everything so easy. We can’t wait to work with Ella again – and soon!"

Policies

I will use any photos I take to post on my public Instagram, website, or any other platform UNLESS you make it clear before our shoot that you do not want your photos shared.
You may bring up to two friends to your shoot! They're even welcome to jump in for a few bestie pics! However if you've scheduled an individual portrait session, this shoot is about you. A bunch of pics with your friend(s) is considered a group session, which is priced differently!
If you need to cancel, please let me know 24 hours in advance to avoid a cancellation fee. Failure to give notice 24 hours in advance will result in a $50 fee. If you cancelled late because of sickness, an injury or a serious emergency, please let me know and we can work something out. If you cancel you are always welcome to reschedule with me!
If you show up late to our shoot, that time that was lost will not be added onto your session. Your session will be cut short. Something like 10 minutes late is fine, but if you show up 20+ minutes late it will cut into your session time and you will still pay the full price for the session. If you are running late because of traffic or some other unavoidable occurrence, just do your best to let me know and chances are I will let our session run a little bit longer :-)
I do charge a transportation fee if your chosen location is outside a 10 mile radius of downtown Trumansburg. The fee starts at $15 and increases with the distance of your location.
I believe photography should be accessible to everyone!! If you have any concerns with pricing, please let me know and we will figure something out that works for you.
