We decided to go with Elliott because he came highly recommended by our friends in DC, and we’re so glad we did. He did headshots for my wife and me, and the results are absolutely stunning. The entire session was fun, relaxed, and professional. Even though we had just met him, it felt like we’d been buddies for years, he made us feel completely at ease. His studio is beautiful and perfectly located in the heart of DC. Highly recommend!

Absolutely loved my photo shoot with Elliott! He gave great suggestions and recommendations ahead of the shoot so that I would be fully prepared. And when I arrived, he immediately put me at ease. Spent plenty of time talking to me to get an understanding of who I am, what I do, and what I would want my photos to say about me. And the results are amazing! More than a few people have used the word "stunning" when they see the photos. It doesn't get any better than that! I recommend Elliott to anyone looking for portraits or headshots in DC. Easy + fun + great results = Elliott!

I had the pleasure of working with Elliott as I commissioned him to do a few personal and professional headshots. Besides being entirely satisfied with the splendid pictures he delivered, I thoroughly enjoyed the process of getting the pictures. A reluctant model myself, he did a phenomenal job making the session very enjoyable. I will be sure to come back in the future and recommend him without reservation.
