- Sessions with their setups: Portraits, headshots, family and product sessions, each introduced by its own drawing of lights, reflector and camera, with length, pictures and price.
- Recent work with real captions: A photo grid where every caption says who or what it is and how it was lit.
- Booking steps, prices and the studio: Five booking steps, example prices, what every session includes, and a floor plan of the studio with access and parking.
- Free Elementor and a ready booking form: Every page is built with free Elementor widgets on Hello Elementor, with a session booking request form made with the free WPForms Lite plugin. Fonts are bundled: no Google Fonts requests.

Used the old LT Photography onepage WordPress theme? It is not sold any more: version 2.0 is one theme for both. Install its Pro edition and turn on one-page mode.

Fields: Your name (required), Email (required), Phone (optional), Session (required), Preferred dates, How many people, Where, What are the photos for?. Email subject: “Booking request from the website”. After sending, visitors see: “Thank you. Ines will reply by email within one working day with free dates and a time for a short planning call.”
See Contact form for where messages go and how to change the fields.
Demo content to replace
Everything marked with one of these in the demo is sample content: names, numbers, prices and addresses that you replace with your own (or delete):
(sample)Example pricesexample.com(555)Northlight StudioInes CalderFoundry RowSpringfield
- Keep the diagram keys as letters that match the legend; do not number sessions or photos.
- Use tungsten amber only for light in the diagrams and marks on the dark band, never for text on light backgrounds.
- Every photo caption should say what the picture is and how it was lit; do not replace captions with decorative labels.
Only publish facts that are true for your business: real prices, opening hours, reviews and qualifications. Pro Unlimited’s launch checker lists every sample marker left on the site.

AI kit (Pro Unlimited)
The AI kit’s AGENTS.md tells an assistant how LT Photography is built. The CSS classes it relies on (keep them when you edit):
| CSS class | What it is |
|---|---|
lt-hero | home hero band: title, the portrait and its lighting diagram |
lt-hero__photo | the hero portrait (the one motion moment: it develops on load) |
lt-setup | a lighting diagram with its legend (drawing + lt-legend) |
lt-plan | a diagram image (Image widget with an SVG from the theme's images folder, 4:3); lt-plan–room for the 10:7 floor plan |
lt-legend | legend rows under a diagram; each row lt-legend__row = lt-key letter + text |
lt-key | round key letter that matches a letter in the diagram (K, R, B, S, W, C; A, P, D, L, E, W) |
lt-session | one session row: setup drawing, what it is, price and link |
lt-shot | a photo of recent work with its caption (lt-shot__cap: what it is and how it was lit); lt-shot–left crops from the left |
lt-steps | the booking steps (a real sequence); each lt-step with lt-step__n |
lt-price | price row (label + amount) |
lt-quote | sample customer quote (large, light weight) |
lt-facts | label/value rows (length, pictures, where) |
lt-pagehead | inner page heading band |
lt-desk | contact block (phone, email, address) |
See AI kit for the prompts, the safe edit tool and the launch checker.
Questions about LT Photography
Do I need Elementor Pro?
No. LT Photography uses only the free Elementor plugin and the free Hello Elementor theme. The header and footer are part of the theme, so you do not need Theme Builder.
Can I change the lighting diagrams?
Yes. They are SVG drawings in the theme's images folder, shown with the normal Image widget; swap one for your own setup drawing and edit the legend text beside it in Elementor.
Is it a gallery theme?
It is a theme for photographers who sell sessions: recent work with captions, sessions and prices, the studio and a booking form. Add more photos with the free Image and Gallery widgets.
Will my site look like the demo?
Yes, with Pro: Appearance > Demo import creates every page, the colours, fonts, menu, header and footer. The demo photos are replaced by placeholders you swap for your own.
What is the difference between Free and Pro?
Free has the design, header and footer, the About and Book pages and the blog. Pro adds the home page, the Sessions and Studio pages with their sub-pages, sample posts, one-click demo import, credit removal, updates and support. Pro Unlimited adds the AI kit.
I have the old LT Photography. Is this an update?
It is a new version 2.0 with a new design, built for free Elementor. Your current site keeps working; install 2.0 on a new site or a staging copy and import the demo there.
Also for Joomla
LT Photography also exists as a Joomla template: see the LT Photography Joomla docs.
