2024 MOTHERHOOD MINI SESSIONS
This year, give yourself the gift of beautiful portraits with your little one/s.
I will be photographing these motherhood themed photos outdoors at Jake's Wetlands.
During your 10 minute photo session you can expect several photos with mom and each child as well as mom and all her children (if she has more than one). I'll also take several family photos if dad would like to join in on the fun.
The Motherhood Event will take place on May 19, 2024 and it's the perfect time to document this time in your motherhood journey.
Because after all… You're in your “Mom Era!”
The Motherhood Event is the perfect gift for yourself and any special mom in your life.
These spring inspired mini sessions are $249 for all the digital images.
PHOTOS WITH SANTA
In case you were wondering exactly what the Santa Experience is all about, I made a quick little video collection of a few behind the scene moments from past sessions.
This video shows some of the magical things you can expect from your Santa Experience.
It's so much more than just a few pictures. It's an extraordinary interaction from the moment you arrive at the studio to the last hug or high five from Santa himself.
NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH PARIGINI ORTHODONTICS
I’m so excited to announce that Always Elegant Photography is now partnering with Parigini Orthodontics to provide you with a new headshot of your beautiful smile.

2023 MOTHERHOOD EVENT
Let’s celebrate motherhood with a pastry bar, coffee, champaign, pampering with hair and make-up, getting dressed up in beautiful dresses and elegant photographs of you and your little one/s to remember this moment in your motherhood journey.

GARDNERVILLE, NV MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY
The best time to book a maternity session is at the beginning of your second trimester. And while you’re at it, you can book your newborn session as well.
Maternity sessions are typically scheduled between 30-36 weeks of pregnancy and last about 45 minutes.
Maternity photo sessions include the expecting mama and can also include, dad and any siblings.
During your maternity session, I keep posing simple, natural and timeless. I photograph each maternity session with wall art and an heirloom album in mind. That means that you’ll receive a variety of images including posed portraits of the expecting mama, intimate family connections, belly details and more.
