Services offered by Boca Raton Motherhood Photographer, Ellen Rashko Portraits

How many times did you take photos of your children?  And how many times did you take photos of your children with their dad?  And on how many of those photos are you present?

      Now imagine that in years to come your children dig out some old photos to see you. To see the connection, love and kindness in your eyes. But you're not on those photos... the Mom that raised them, was there at every important moment of their life, shared every tear, every smile... Please, don't wait until you lose a little more weight, or for a better hair day. Do it now! When they are still little, as your child will always see the person they love unconditionally.  

Motherhood sessions are simple and beautiful. Let's capture that special relationship between You and your Child, because there is no stronger love than the one between you!

Frequently Asked Questions

We do have a studio wardrobe & fabrics you may use during your motherhood shoot. However, because women come in many shapes, sizes and have a wide array of style preferences, I still ask you to bring your own wardrobe to the shoot and we can mix in my wardrobe if you want. We will have a consultation prior to the shoot where we discuss specifically what wardrobe you should bring in and how to find it.

Do you provide the wardrobe for the shoot?

I believe we are all deserving of existing in print. Digital files probably won’t be handed down through generations as a treasure…but guess what? A print will. I currently have in my possession portraits dating back to the early 1900’s of my family. Though I never met them I grew up being told of many stories of my ancestors by my family. I cherish these portraits, and I want your portraits to be cherished for generations too.

Why do you sell printed artwork? Isn’t that old school?

Where are you based?

Our studio is based in NYC but also travel to Boca Raton, FL 3-4 times a year for sessions.

Do you do headshots, families, or special projects?

Yes! Please inquire for more info!

What types of printed products do you offer?

We offer fully framed wall portraits as well as specialty products like canvas, acrylic and metal prints. We also offer gorgeous folio boxes complete with sets of matted prints and fine art albums.

Will I get digital images?

Yes, some collections do include the digital images.

What is your turnaround time?

Ideally I like to have about 4-6 weeks from initial point of contact to the delivering of pictures. However, I have been known to turn a shoot around in as little as 2.5 weeks (yes with pictures in print). If you are on a deadline with your images please get in touch and I’ll see what I can do for you.

What days of the week do you shoot?

Most of our shoots take place on weekdays. Our top hair and makeup artists also work weddings, so to guarantee the best beauty team for your day we have found weekday shoots work best. Many of our clients take a full day off work to “play hooky” and enjoy some pampering. We do keep a couple weekend dates open per month for clients who absolutely need this option but these dates come with an additional fee and are booked on a first come first served basis.

What is the cost of a shoot?

Motherhood portrait sessions begin at $299 and include a styling consultation + access to our studio wardrobe, professional hair and makeup, multiple outfit changes, and photo shoot that takes 3-4 hours. At your image reveal + order session, you will have the option to select from different collections as well as customize your own images. Let’s set up a complimentary consultation so that we can hear about your dream portrait experience + products and get you a custom quote. You can begin that process here.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept credit cards, paypal, venmo and cash.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, we can arrange a monthly payment plan. Please inquire.

What are the next steps for booking?

1) To get the booking process started contact me here.

2) Within 24-48 hours (Mon-Friday) of receiving your inquiry I will reach out to schedule a “Getting to Know You” call.

3) At our “Getting To Know You Call” we will get acquainted, discuss your vision and all you are hoping to achieve with our shoot. Once I have an understanding of your needs & desires I will be able to share a more accurate quote and answer all your questions. At this point if you are a YES to booking we will celebrate and move forward with booking your shoot date.

4) Booking in your shoot date requires a) selecting a date, b) paying your non refundable retainer/session fee to reserve your date, c) signing a photoshoot agreement so you are clear on our policies.

Hi, I am Ellen a luxury portrait photographer specializing in Maternity, Motherhood, Beauty & Boudoir. 

My love for photography started from childhood and grew stronger because of my family, the connection and memories, and story behind the images. Life works in mysterious ways and I married a photographer and we continued to tell stories of people and moments captured in time. The beauty of creating another human being is magical and humbling and I am so lucky to have 2 beautiful daughters that made my world so much brighter. 

My love for creating luxury portraits of the beauty of women in all stages of life was born because of my journey.

For my 21st Birthday my friends all chipped in and bought me a camera - because hey, I was the one always taking the photos, capturing the moments and collecting the memories (and let’s face it camera’s weren’t cheap and I always had to have the best one!) 
 
Some time later I went out on a blind date with a gentleman who was, you guessed it - a photographer! Fate? Coincidence? You decide! We began working together on weddings and birthdays, capturing the precious moments of other families and creating lifelong heirlooms.

After 2 miscarriages I gave birth to 2 beautiful and very special girls who changed my world. The beauty of creating another human being is magical



Perhaps it was inevitable that this is where I would end up - behind the camera, capturing and gathering memories. This was always the way it was supposed to be, and I am so grateful that I can do something I love, something I was always supposed to do and I know my grandfather would be so proud and happy to see me today.

"THE BEST THERE IS!
I've done 3 maternity & a motherhood shoot with Ellen.  I feel like a model for Vogue.  She always comes up new creative ideas and I love hanging the wall art all over my home.
