Yes, EllaKay Designs offers event photography.  We charge by the hour and take posed and candid pictures of the event and the guests.  From birthday parties to catered business functions, EllaKay Designs can help to capture all of the moments that might be missed.

After the shoot, EllaKay Designs will enhance and crop pictures accordingly, then load them onto a disc for you to do with what you please.  I can also load them onto a picture sharing site, like Shutterfly.com and you can order prints directly from there, as many prints as you would like, in the sizes and colors of your choice.  Or you can take your disc to a photo lab and have your prints made there.  EllaKay Designs makes sharing and printing your photos easy for your family and easy on your wallet.
