Goals for Portfolio Building
I realized a couple days ago that my goals that I had written out in January no longer applied since I’ve changed my perspective on how to do this for the next couple of years. So I figured I’d write a new set of goals.
Familiarize myself completely with my camera. I’ve come a long [...]
Redoing the website
Changes will be underway over the next few days. Hang tight.
READ: An epiphany and a change of pace
A few weeks ago I joined a pro photographer board that is largely focused on the business and marketing side of things. It really made me think about how I’ve been doing things the past year or so. And so I started laying down plans to really make this a real business. Get my business [...]
Planning for your portraiture session
I get a lot of clients who have never had their photo taken professionally before and they are quite overwhelmed as far as what to do or where to begin. It hit me today that it would prove quite useful to put together a nice guide that can work as a sort of worksheet to [...]
New print / product vendor!
Last week I happened upon a new print and product vendor: WHCC, I signed up, ordered some prints to test them out and have completely fallen in love. Their customer service is wonderful, and, most importantly, they make wonderful, true-to-color prints! As a result, I have updated my proofing gallery to contain products that I [...]
Give the gift of pictures this Christmas!

Free Fifteen-Minute Fall Sessions Take II
So last Saturday I attempted a “fifteen minute free fall portraiture session” promotional on the quad at UW. It failed because of my lack of preparedness and foresight. But this time it will go much better, I am certain! This time I have a few volunteers helping me out, AND the notice is a little [...]

Completely revamped the website
I felt that the last iteration of the website was not very usable and that it made finding information rather difficult. So I completely redid everything today. Fresh WordPress install, new structure, everything. The navigation has been simplified. Give it a spin and let me know what you think! Facebook also features much more prominently [...]
New Custom Quote Generator!
All the different options and possibilities for scheduling your session makes pricing a little complicated and hard to explain using documentation. So I spent the last several days scouring the web for an application that would allow me to create a form that could walk you through those options and calculate the cost along the [...]

I’ve officially integrated Facebook into this website.

Busy Weekend!
1283 photos to go through from this weekend from a wedding and an intimate session with another couple. In going through and doing my first pass in which I rotate pictures and delete the absolutely worthless ones, I have found that I have an obsession with hands. I took lots of pictures of hands, too, [...]
On my first wedding
There will be more details to come when I post the pictures in a few weeks, but I just want to say that after going through the pictures and selecting the ones that will be processed, I must say — I think it was a success! I’ll say all this again when I post the [...]
ElyseKufeldtPhotography.com Live!
I’ll be honest, I was thinking that I would get this all set up and ready to go tomorrow night at the earliest — but I am quite pleased that it’s sooner! It means I can have more time this week to process Dan and Amber’s photographs and take and process Lisa’s, in addition to [...]
