Jo Ellen Verna Portrait

Nov 2023

Jo gave a lot of help prior to the shoot and greeted me at my car and helped me in. I never felt rushed as i did my wardrobe changes. The make up artist was fabulous and gave me tips on make up application i can use! Throughout the shoot i felt supported and positive. They gave me creative control along w posing suggestions and ideas.

Working with Jo Ellen was incredible! I was a little nervous about what to expect, but she put me at ease with a pre-session phone call to coach me on what to bring and shared examples of photos so I could get a feel for what I like. The session was so professional and yet at ease with Jo Ellen and her team. I felt supportive and glamorous with the hair, make up and outfit changes! I highly recommend Jo Ellen - it was a great experience and the photos are beautiful.

The 40 Over 40 Experience was amazing! I would highly recommend anyone who is considering a photo shoot with Jo Ellen to do it. Not only was she very good at communicating before the actually shoot, giving ideas for wardrobe and accessories but also trying to make you feel comfortable with the actual photo shoot before you showed up. Jen did an amazing job with hair and makeup. Several wardrobe changes and backgrounds went by effortlessly. Never felt rushed. Jo Ellen took lots and lots of pictures and the only complaint is there were many great ones. It was hard to pick only a few. At 67, I am definitely older. Jo Ellen's portraits captured the best of me today...read full review
