I know this thread is a bit old now, but I just wanted yo say that I had photos done with Ella yesterday. I paid ?350 for the basic package which was 2.5 hrs and includes 8 pics retouched, and I am so pleased with them. Even without the retouching they look really good and I am so excited to see the finished result!
This was my first shoot with a female photographer and I really recommend it. Usually I am a bit wooden for the first 45 minutes or so and I only get good shots when I have started to loosen up a bit, by which point it's nearly over, but on this shoot I felt totally relaxed from the start so it was worth every penny for me!
It doesn't include hair and makeup, but I did my own for the first time on a shoot but I preferred to do this as I am a bit fussy anyway.
Also, for girls on a budget who want to add a bit more variety or just starting out I noticed she is doing a ?250 'top up' shoot with 5 retouched images included.
Anyway, all in all, it was my best shoot by a long way!
