I'm so glad you're here :)
Whether we’ve had the chance to meet in person or not, you’re here, interacting with my work and in some sense I think that makes us friends enough.
I started photography when I was around 12 (believe it or not, it was because I thought the shutter noise was satisfying…). A few years and many turns down the road, I shot my first wedding at 16, and let’s just say there was no going back :)
I studied architecture in college, as different as my two worlds are, in many ways, to me, architecture and photography are both their own versions of artistic storytelling. People and experiences happen in space, and photographs are a way to frame these stories. I am constantly in awe that I’m blessed and trusted to be a part of your story and how you hold on to it.
We had a blast during the session, but now we also have photos we're going to cherish for a lifetime. They perfectly captured our personality, goofiness, and excitement. Can't wait to have these pics decorating our future home together."

"Elana is such a joy. It's clear she has an artistic eye and brings out the best in her clients by giving them direction while also letting them be themselves.
I have found that inspiration, awe, wonder, and creativity are stumbled upon just by wandering through life with open eyes. Whether it’s walking mapless through a new city with a few rolls of film and a notebook, or backpacking through a national park, I want to experience the world and its people by moving through it :)
