We recently connected with Elle Gerais and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Elle, thanks for joining us today. Let’s start with a story that highlights an important way in which your brand diverges from the industry standard.
At my photography studio, I take pride in offering a unique and luxurious experience that goes beyond traditional photography. I focus on celebrating individual beauty and authenticity in a genuinely inclusive environment. Unlike many photographers who rush clients through the process, I create a personalized experience where every detail is meticulously managed just for you.
Our editorial photo sessions are designed to make you feel like a celebrity, complete with wardrobe, hair, and makeup expertly handled by our talented team. This way, you can fully immerse yourself in the moment and enjoy the experience without any worries about logistics. Come and discover the difference!
Elle, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I started this journey 10 years ago when I fell in love with light. I began photographing my sons, capturing their growth and beautiful moments. My images started getting featured in magazines and photography websites. Inside, I had a desire to help women see their true selves and empower them. That’s when I opened Urban Tulip Studios seven years ago, and the rest is history.
At Urban Tulip Studios, I specialize in boudoir, family, and headshot photography, but I also go beyond the lens with signature retouching, wall art installation, and access to a couture wardrobe. My studio is renowned for its empowering and luxurious approach to photography, dedicated to helping clients feel confident and beautiful.
What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
I believe my reputation comes from my genuine passion for serving my clients, along with my background in publicity, advertising, and graphic design. I love boosting my clients’ confidence, helping them see their unique beauty, and guiding them on how to use their branding portraits. This allows me to effectively address their portrait needs. When they share their positive experiences with family and friends, it creates a ripple effect that enhances my reputation and attracts new clients.
What’s been the best source of new clients for you?
Definitely the referrals from my amazing clients, along with social media and Google, play a significant role.
