Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Ovation Photography & Design has more than 15 years experience shooting portraits and events all over Southern California. We stand out because we provide a service that pays attention to the detailed requests of our clients. Professionals in our line of work often get caught up in capturing that "perfect" image, all the while, forgetting that their clients might not be appreciating their creative process. At Ovation, it is our intention to capture images that we know you will absolutely love but make sure our clients are enjoying the process every step of the way. As the founder of Ovation Photography & Design one of my most popular statements is to announce to my clients... "If you're not having a good time, my camera is capturing that!" Ultimately it is our purpose to inspire our clients to be comfortable behind our camera and achieving that goal rewards us with fantastic results. I enjoy my work because it's all about encouraging people to unwind, smile and be themselves... while I get to capture a little creative "magic" in the process. From children to seniors the process remains the same, a comfortable client is a happy client!

A very personal and professional photographer. Elissa completely covered all details of the wedding shoot and helped us feel comfortable about her visual plans for our special day based on our stated desires. Elissa came to us with high recommendations and now we are recommending her highly!

Elisa is such a joy to work with! Everything we discussed prior to meeting: date, time, location, price, and punctuality was met and more. She was early to the photo shoot on location and worked well with our autistic nephew including our family dog. So patient, made great suggestions for back drops/poses, and kept a smile on her face the entire time. Elisa exceeded our expectations and we will definitely use her services again in the future.

Details: Family or children's portrait • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Outdoors • 16 - 20 shots • Digital or online download • Need some more information before hiring • I travel to the portrait photographer

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    Typically after speaking with a client over the phone or during a consultation about our services, my clients will book my services with a deposit that reserves their portrait/event date on my calendar. We stay in communication by phone, text or email up until the time of their portrait/event going over all details and timelines. A final balance is usual due 10 days before their session and our services are rendered on time.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    -Graduate degree in Visual Arts and Economics from the University of California, San Diego. -Teaching community courses in Photographic Skills and Appreciation
