Elly Dream Photo - Middletown Township, New Jersey

John Pao

I am thrilled to recommend Elly, whose portrait photography skills are nothing short of exceptional. We did a family photo session, and Elly was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. It's often said that it's not work if you love your job. Elly loves hers because she exudes happiness in capturing the essence of family connections.

Elly displayed an incredible ability to make everyone in our family feel at ease and have fun at the same time. She is kind, engaging, and extremely talented. It was refreshing to work with someone genuine and authentic. Her work is simply beautiful and is sure to grow more endearing over time.

If you are looking for a family photographer, I highly recommend Elly as a person who will create timeless, heartwarming family portraits that you will cherish for years. She is supremely talented and passionate about her craft.

We had an incredible experience with Elly for our daughter’s 1st birthday portrait session! She was amazing with our baby, bringing along a variety of toys that kept our little one entertained and smiling throughout the shoot. Her professionalism and attention to detail were evident in every aspect, from the way she interacted with us to the flawless editing of the photos. The final images were beyond our expectations, capturing our daughter and family beautifully. Elly is truly talented, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend her for any family, professional, or individual portraits!

I had an amazing experience taking both professional headshots and family photos with Elly. I had no prior photoshoot experience and no clue what to expect, but her consultation is extremely thorough – we spent a lot of time discussing my branding goals, my expectations, and how best to prepare for the shoot. She explains every detail with care – what outfits to bring, how to do your makeup, her editing process – so you feel at ease, and she is easily reachable to answer any last minute questions. During the shoot, I was struck by how bubbly and good-humored she is; she will get you to relax and laugh, even if, like me, you’re self-conscious or camera shy. Afterwards, we spent a long time meticulously selecting the best shots. She is very thoughtful about what you want to convey in your images and how to best present yourself to prospective clients – no worries if you don’t have an artistic eye, she does! I really can’t recommend Elly highly enough – she is talented, experienced, and a pleasure to be around.

Elly is not just a photographer, she is a true artist!! Her sensibility, creativity and ability to envision concepts, combined with her deep knowledge and expertise in both photography and editing, allows her to create images that truly look and feel like a dream!!

Her studio is lovely, and she even had snacks for us! Her personality and excitement about her work makes you so comfortable posing! I've worked with many photographers and Elly's direction in posing is just outstanding! Even if you have no experience in modeling and are shy in front of the camera, she will have you posing like a pro!

Elly was outstanding and professional. Her space is perfect for any sort of set up. Elly is beyond knowledgeable and friendly. I can’t wait for more pictures!

It was such a joy to work with Elly that I could not possibly capture that in words here. I have zero experience as a model. As a result, I had to rely on Elly's direction for pretty much everything. She found subtle ways throughout the session to make me laugh, which apparently helped me to produce a natural smile. She also brought joyousness, ebullience, and effortless energy to the session, which was infectious. As I write this, I have not yet seen any of the final photos, but I have complete confidence in Elly's competence, skill, and artist's vision, to show me in the best possible light.

I was picky when it came to choosing the right person to do my professional head shots. I kept pushing it off for months, until this blond, sometimes with pink streaks decided to join the BNI group I was apart of. I was still reluctant to even go through with the process. It wasn't until I had a one to one with her that I realized the passion behind the work she does. I was sold because not only did she want to provide me with an amazing picture, she wanted to tell a story. She wanted to get to know the ins and outs of me in order to deliver what I was looking for. I remember all the questions she asked me and I was happy to talk about myself. It wasn't until the end I understood why she goes through this process. Not only does she want to succeed in delivering you a fantastic head shot, but she also wants you to succeed in whatever it is that you do. I'm very happy with the way everything turned out and I would recommend her to everyone I know! Thanks Elly!
