welcome! I'm Elissa
I’ve spent my career turning fleeting moments into archival artwork that builds your children’s self-esteem and makes your house feel like a home.
I’m here to make this easy, fun, and—most importantly—beautiful.
There is a unique magic in being a family’s 'historian' for twenty-five years. I have had the incredible honor of being a part of my clients' lives from the very beginning—capturing from newborns to launching seniors into their next chapters and now, celebrating as those same children bring their own 'Little Beans' into the world.
When I say I value relationships, I really mean it. To have photographed a newborn baby and then, decades later, to photograph them as they hold their own child for their first portraits... that is why I do what I do. It’s more than just a session; it’s a twenty-five-year conversation expressed through art and love of family.
I have to say, Connor was less than excited to get his senior photos taken. From the initial phone call to the session, she assured me that all would be quick, easy and painless for him. Thankfully she was right and Connor actually enjoyed his session. The artwork that she helped us design almost brings me to tears now that he is at school. Thank you so much!
