Ellen Wolff Photography — Local services in Town of Hempstead

I had a friend show me her headshots last night. She used a different photographer. WHAT A DIFFERENCE ELLEN MADE!

--My friend said she had no direction. Ellen gave me clear direction. I'm sure there are people who love the camera, but I am camera shy. When it's on me, poses are the last thing I'm thinking of. Ellen's direction was specific and encouraging. She told me jokes to help me relax. Her props were very useful.

--My friend looked serious in every headshot. She's in the healing arts. She looked standoffish. Ellen is discerning. She thinks about what message you should send depending on your field. She knew how the COVID working-from-home culture was affecting the kind of headshots clients are responding to. From the very first phone call I had with her, she gave me advice about what would draw my clients to me. This helped me plan my wardrobe options. Ellen put thought into the kind of mood my backdrop would create--experimenting with something fun. I felt like I was allowed to be me--in a headshot for business. Didn't think it was possible.

I didn't know it could be so easy!! Before I went, I worried it would take a lot of work to get one good headshot. When I left, I felt confident I had many choices.

I think every person should do this once in their life just to feel amazing. And use Ellen :-)

I'd like to recommend Randi Ellen as well, the makeup artist Ellen recommends. There's no way I could have looked that good if I did my makeup myself. Worth every penny.

P.S.--Make sure your clothes are well ironed/steamed. It turned out not to be a problem for me, but...

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ellen Wolff for a Linkedin head-shot. Ellen provided a professional photoshoot, and I couldn't be happier with the results! Ellen is a professional with deep knowledge and experience in the photography industry, not a hobbyist who turned professional.

Ellen is not only incredibly skilled and creative with photography but also exhibits a high level of professionalism and is very responsive to communication. Ellen took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and went above and beyond to capture a great photo, taking dozens of photos from different angles, lighting, and background so that we would have many to choose from.

What truly sets Ellen apart is her personable approach. Throughout the session, she made me feel comfortable and at ease, creating a positive and relaxed atmosphere with humor, nice lighting and background music.

I appreciate the attention to detail and the dedication Ellen demonstrated, she took the time to ensure every shot was perfect, and the final results exceeded my expectations. I am a "seasoned" professional and Ellen's final finished photos accentuated the best aspects of my features and diminished the ones I'm self-conscious about.

If you're in search of a photographer who is not only talented but also personable and dedicated to their craft, I highly recommend Ellen Wolff...

Can't say enough about working with Ellen!

She was very clear about expectations from the beginning. When we first set up the appointment, she explained when to arrive, what to bring, and made sure I was well-prepared.

When I first got there, she actually had a welcome sign on the front door for me, which added a nice personal touch. For all the photos we took, Ellen really took her time and made sure they were perfect. She took a whole bunch of shots, all in different poses/locations, just about every nuance you can imagine to make sure everything was spot-on. We looked through every single one together to pick the finalists.

Through the whole experience, Ellen was a lot of fun to talk to and hang out with, which made for a fun afternoon all the way around. Sometimes service-based businesses like this are guilty of rushing you to cram in as many clients as possible, but not Ellen - she took her time and made me feel very welcome and comfortable the whole time. Worth every cent, and a very...
