What ensures a successful full-service portrait experience?

To experience a successful process, clients with Brooke Elisabeth should be timely - not rushed - excited to partake in the full-service process of their portrait experience, and value Brooke’s expertise. Since opening, Brooke Elisabeth has excitedly served hundreds of clients. 


Are payment plans available?

Session fees are due in full, and payment plans are available for your artwork purchases 

What is covered in the session fee?

Included in the session cost is the pre-session consultation, customized wardrobe styling, professional hair and makeup for signature sessions, complimentary rental(s) at the Brooke Elisabeth Studio (if you opt for an indoor session), and the time for the session itself. 

How much will I invest in the end?

Client invest 1175+ for signature sessions and 700+ for simplicity sessions

How long does a typical session last?

Sessions last 60-90 minutes, with simplicity sessions being 20 minutes. I stay until we've got what we need, but include time for any breaks, snacks, outfit changes, etc. This is plenty of time to capture a wide variety of activities and poses while keeping it fun and easy. 


Where do you recommend having our session?

Brooke Elisabeth offers indoor, outdoor, and in-home sessions. Brooke Elisabeth has their very own studio (The Brooke Elisabeth Studio) that is a popular choice among clients and complimentary. There is also an outdoor option 1 min from the studio, making for the best of both worlds. This is by far the most popular location combination among my clients! If you would like an outdoor location, a guide full of metro-area based locations will be sent to you after booking! 


What happens if the weather is bad during our session?

We’ll keep an eye on the forecast and, if necessary, reschedule your session or move it to our studio to ensure you have the best experience.  

What time will our session be? 

For indoor studio sessions, they can take place anytime of day. Studio sessions are by far the most flexible for lighting. Best time to do indoor studio sessions is during the day. 

For indoor studio sessions that want the outdoor option as well, I recommend morning or evening about 2 or 3 hours before the sunset, or 2 or 3 hours after the sunrise. I can go into more detail after booking!
 
For outdoor sessions, mornings or evenings are the times that give us great light. Usually around 1.5 hours before sunset.

Will you help me style my session?

Yes! All Brooke Elisabeth clients get access to monthly curated outfit guides and our client closet for moms and babies

Do you offer hair and makeup services?

Yes, we provide an all-inclusive experience with hair and makeup services to ensure you feel and look your best during your session.

How far in advance should we book?

It’s best to book your session 2-3 months in advance, especially for newborn and milestone sessions, as these spots fill up quickly. Only 6 signature sessions are offered monthly. For expectant clients we suggest booking during the second trimester. Only 20 collective members are available annually 

Can we include pets in our family sessions?

Absolutely! Pets are part of the family, and we love including them in your portraits. Just let us know ahead of time so we can plan accordingly.

What is the turnaround time for sessions?

We will sit down together 2-3 weeks after your session to look through your images, choose favorites and design your custom gallery and select images for your heirloom album.
