Rooted in Meaning

I’m obsessed with golden hour magic, connecting people and feeling alive behind the camera. I take time to really see you and create an experience where you are heard, served and documented in all your beauty, in each and every season.

I'm Eleanor, a Birmingham portrait photographer since 2013.

Capturing families, engagements, newborns and all of your most special moments.

Frequently

Asked

Questions

How do I prep my kids for a session?

Encourage them to just play and have fun! Kids enjoy sessions more when they can be playful. Don’t worry – we'll get the smiles – but what you really want is them in their element. And chocolate bribes work too .

Can I add an outfit beyond what my session allows?

Yes you can! Each additional outfit is $50.

How do I choose my outfits?

Once you book a session, I send my style guide with all my tips and tricks for necklines, fabrics and patterns.

How do I select my location?

I send a questionnaire right after you book to help guide our location choice. I'll send location suggestions and tailor them to your story and personality.

Do you photograph sessions on weekends?

Sessions are only available on weekdays, as weekends are reserved for weddings.
