Ellevate Brand Photography Outline

This outline includes locations and inspirational images. These images will show the idea for poses, lighting, and/or vibe, etc. These images are not taken by me and the photographers and credits can be found on the Pinterest board that was sent over to you.


The goal of this shoot is to be as casual as possible! We're going to be spending the day together mimicking a "day/month in the life" of Lindsay and I'm just the lucky one that gets to tag along.
