Our program begins with an initial complimentary consultation to learn more about exactly what photography services you're in need of. This can take place in person, via Skype or over the phone. Next, we dive deep into the planning phase for your special day. We discuss the type of shoot that will need to take place along with desired wardrobe, location, overall theme - and even props!

On the day of your in-studio shoot, you have the option to receive hair and makeup styling that coordinates with your wardobe and theme - get pampered like a celebrity for the day. Once styled to perfection, the magic begins. Elisa prides herself on helping all of her clients feel as comfortable and natural in front of the camera as possible.

Now is your chance to take part in our Personal Branding Campaign. I know my headshot and branding clients ask me ALL THE TIME if I shoot outside or Lifestyle. Of course I do. I just love studio portraiture which is why I usually talk you into a hybrid shoot. Now's your chance to be photographed on the streets of San Francisco or the suburbs of the Bay Area.
A beauty portrait is a Vanity Fair style photoshoot, and it's one that gives you the freedom to be you. A beauty portrait can be a perfect way to celebrate an Anniversary, Valentine's Day, a boudoir session. Bring along your favorite evening attire and gowns. An initial meeting by phone or in person.
I am offering the 50 OVER 50 special promotion package for just $450. You're more than welcome to bring your mom, sister, friend, daughter to celebrate in this one of a kind experience for an additional $150 each. A pre-shoot consultation with me to discuss how you want to be photographed, what outfits you would like to wear etc.
We strive to create images for you with the utmost heirloom quality. Each photograph is a work of art, printed on on fine art media. Kept out of the sun and away from moisture, these genuine archival grade papers with premium quality ink are meant to last 200 years. Picture your beautiful memories printed and displayed every day.

Elisa is an amazing photographer and incredible person to work with. I am very camera-shy, but she was able to get me to relax and smile like no one before. She made the entire process as easy as possible, and the photos came out amazing! I had a hard time picking one head shot, because there were so many good ones to choose from!

Several years ago, Elisa had shot a wedding for my brother-in-law. When it came time for my partner and I to get married, we immediately thought of Elisa and reached out to her as I remembered her photos being absolutely amazing.
We contacted her and made some initial arrangements for her to take our wedding pictures.
We had an event about a month before the ceremony that she shot and we were super impressed. She has a gentle way with her subjects, is extremely knowledgable and has great ideas for getting extraordinary shots in unlikely locations. As we continued to plan different events, we

Elisa's Photographic work is amazing! I have worked with a lot of photographers over the years from New York City to San Francisco and her eye, calming demeanor, and full-service approach make just showing up for the shoot a breeze and stress-free. The work up to the shoot is wonderful, thoughtful and ultimately the finished product is where the proof of the pudding is and as a middle-aged man, who doesn't consider himself photogenic or model material, she makes me look my best, which remains important in my business. If you are looking to start a new business or refresh your brand or image, make

It was a great pleasure working with Elisa! I appreciated her responsiveness, professionalism, and obviously her photography skills. She really listens to what her client is asking for, which is important because each client and each photo session is different. She also had some great ideas regarding backdrops and location for the photo session. Last but not the least, I appreciated her flexibility and on-time delivery of the photographs. Highly recommend!

Elisa has an amazing eye for photography. My husband and I worked with her to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. The photos look like we could be on the cover of some fancy magazine! She really made us look like superstars. I highly recommend getting your photos taken with Elisa, whether you need a new headshot, family photos, engagement photos, or just treating yourself to some special pampering - she will make you feel very special. Do it!

In the film/ commercial business, a great headshot is mandatory. I've worked with a number of photographers and Elisa Cicinelli is definitely the best. Once I posted her work (of me) on my casting sites, my bookings increased dramatically. Film, commercials, auditions - my calendar increased with bookings and auditions! I can't thank her enough and I'm returning for more! She is easy to work with AND has a strong opinion on what 'works'. Trust her - I do. Total thumbs up!

Elisa understands that a headshot gives someone an initial impression about who you are and gets you the attention you are looking for. Using her skill and knowledge, my headshot accurately shows what I look like on a great day, captures my zest for life and professionalism, and looks engaging, creative and original. With all of these characteristics, my headshot portrays everything I wanted. And the best part: I didn't have to explain it to Elisa. Trust her, she knows what she is doing!
Go for a great, natural looking headshot and a quick turnaround.

I love Elisa and her art - she makes me feel very special, and she captures exactly how I imagine I look (not like I look on most pictures where I hardly recognize myself).
I had shoots alone, with family, and, the most recent one, with my sister and my niece - absolutely stunning pictures!
A photoshoot with Elisa is the most wellness you can treat yourself to - and the pictures go a long way in making me look like myself on all platforms.

I did a complete photoshoot with Elisa for both casual and business photos. Elisa was super fun to work with for the photoshoot. Her studio lent to a number of creative background shots and Elisa's easy going nature made me feel very relaxed. She gives great direction and takes a number of shots, so you have many options to choose from for your final take home pics. If you are in need of cool, hip and professional portrait shots, give Elisa a call!

One stop shop - ESPECIALLY if you "don't like to be photographed". Elisa shows up with make-up, hair, and has a great way of doing a shoot that doesn't make you uncomfortable. I spent the "full amount" on a total branding shoot and, let me tell you, it might not seem like spending that extra money makes sense but having the flexibility of time, different outfits, different background, etc. makes sense...but, it does. It really does. I took a long time to choose Elisa and I'm really glad I did.
