Community Sponsor Spotlight: Brittany Elise Photography

When Brittany Elise Photography supported the 2025 Shorecrest Gala as the Portrait Photography Partner, it was the first time she had partnered with the School. With several longtime, personal clients who were Shorecrest families, Owner/founder Brittany Anderson says they were already familiar with Shorecrest. “Our studio is built on creating meaningful relationships with our clients, and being able to give our time to the families that have supported us for so many years is really important to us. We’ve been photographing many of their kids for more than eight years, and being able to give back to the School where they’re now active, and meeting other Shorecrest families, means a lot to us.”

Brittany Elise Photography specializes in family portraits, and now specializes in Senior Portraits. They provide a personal, full-service experience that includes wardrobe and styling, hair and make-up as well as designing and installing gallery walls. “It removes the stress and allows the parents to just be present with their kids during the portrait making process,” Anderson says.

The Gala provided Anderson and her team with a unique and entertaining opportunity. “We know that a lot of Shorecrest parents are really busy people, working professionals who are really involved with their kids’ lives. This was a chance to document them, without their kids!  We didn’t want to do ‘cruise ship portraits.’ The way we posed them, we wanted it to feel more like a date, with after party vibes that captured the connection to having a fun evening.” 

In addition to taking black and white portraits of the guests at the beginning of the evening, the studio also donated a portrait session and a framed print.

"We had a blast,” Anderson added, “and we’re truly grateful for the opportunity to build such a meaningful relationship with Shorecrest and the incredible families that are part of its community."
