There is nothing more elegant and graceful than a studio or home portrait. Unlike outdoor photography a studio portrait has a timeless and classical look.
A studio portrait is a completely controlled environment. There is more control of lighting, posing and baclground. 
If you decide on a home portrait there is the added benefit of congruence. The background is distinchly yours. 
If you deisire a "timelss elegant look" consider a home or studio portrait.
