About your session: The session experience

Photography sessions should be deeply personal, genuine, authentic, relaxed and meaningful. They shouldn’t be awkward or generic. Wild Elements Imagery specialises in crafting photography sessions that are as beautiful to experience as they are to view. Elly is passionate about capturing her clients’ stories through unique sessions that create space for real moments, connection and emotion. These photos will capture you in the most striking, timeless, cinematic way, creating lasting keepsakes that overflow with heart and soul. Tell your story, your way.

 
 

The Session Experience:

Step 1. Get in touch

If you’re feeling ready to create your perfect session you can either book directly through my booking site, or reach out via the contact form if you’d like to discuss specifics or have any questions for me.

Step 2. Here we go!

Once we confirm a date and time for your session you’ll receive your deposit invoice. After payment is received, your session is fully reserved and the fun begins.

Step 3. Planning your session

You’ll then receive your session questionnaire so we can tailor the session to you - what you share here will help me decide where we hold the session, how we style it, how I guide you and everything in between. Sessions are designed to reflect my clients so the photos feel like a true reflection of YOU. Along side your session questionnaire you’ll also receive a session agreement (all the important info is included in here), access to the Client Wardrobe (if applicable), and a session guide to help you prepare for a perfect session. There’s guidance on everything from styling to bring-alongs and how to get the most out of the experience.

Just some of the stunning pieces from our Client Wardrobe available to you as part of your session. Our wardrobe caters to sizes XXS - XXL.

Step 4. Final details…

At this stage I’ll reach out to share a location recommendation (if not a home session) based on your questionnaire responses, chat through the specifics of your session and answer any other questions you might have. The week of the session I’ll then do a final weather check (if we are shooting outdoors) and share directions for where to meet. If the weather just doesn’t want to cooperate for us and your session type allows I’ll touch base a minimum of 48 hours prior to your session to offer a rescheduled date so you get the most beautiful session possible. If you have booked a newborn session, our session date is always flexible and I limit my monthly bookings to ensure there is wiggle room to adjust your booking if little one doesn’t arrive on time or you simply need a little longer to settle into the newborn routine. Just reach out as soon as you can and we’ll find a new date that suits you.

Step 5. On the day:

By the day of your session you’ll be feeling relaxed, excited and ready to enjoy yourselves and make some beautiful memories. Whether you’ve booked a family, newborn, couples or maternity session I’ll be offering prompts and cues that help you get lost in the moment and just… Be. This is a chance to interact authentically, breathe more deeply, laugh more loudly and enjoy a morning or afternoon somewhere spectacular with your favourite human/s, or bump! My role, and my greatest privilege, is capturing the magic. But yours is simply to get lost in it.

Step 6. Receive your photos

3 business days later you can look forward to a very special sneak peek at the magic we captured. A curated sample gallery delivered straight to your inbox, ready to enjoy. Then depending on your package, your full gallery will arrive within 2 - 4 weeks (or 90 days for weddings/elopements). Once you have your final, high resolution edited photographs you’re free to save, share, post and treasure to your heart’s content. There’s also breathtaking print options available if you’d like to take your memories off-screen. They’re going to be the kind of moments you want to celebrate and display, just wait and see.

Step 7. À bientôt…

Hopefully this isn’t goodbye, but just the beginning! Return clients enjoy $100 off every subsequent booking, because I love seeing familiar faces again and have an ever-growing list of families who enjoy priority booking and exclusive offers. There is no greater honour than getting to see you again and capture your new seasons of life, both big and small. Hope to see you soon!
