By Elyse Lillian Worthington

Photography is an art form that allows us to freeze moments in time, capturing memories that last a lifetime. As a photographer, I’ve had the privilege of working on various creative projects, and I must say, some of the most memorable experiences have been with unique and unconventional photo sessions. In my very first blog, I am excited to share some of my favorite and extraordinary photo session ideas that are sure to ignite your imagination and leave you eager to try them out. From the whimsical to the adventurous, let’s explore these exciting concepts that will make your photo session stand out from the crowd. 

Inspired by the classic romance film, “The Notebook,” this photo session idea captures the essence of true love and timeless devotion. In order to bring this shoot to life, I found a beautiful lakeside location (which is rare to find in Tampa!) We rented a canoe and decorated in in blankets, pillows, and flowers. I had the most beautiful and in love couple as my models. This made for such a unique and special couple photo. And when I thought the photos couldn't get any better, it began raining which made for such a special and straight out of the movie moment.
