About Me
Capturing memories of your family, wedding, engagement, or home in Oregon, Illinois, and Iowa.
I’m Elle, a wedding and travel photographer based in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, with over five years of full-time experience behind the camera. Love and adventure shape everything I do, especially since meeting my husband, Ian, who’s been cheering me on through every trip and dream and now as we navigate this beautiful new chapter as parents to our sweet son, Callum.
Traveling the world has shown me just how meaningful real moments and genuine connections are. That’s why I’m all about capturing those candid, emotional bits of your story. The ones that feel like you.
I’m always chasing beautiful light, unforgettable places, and the kind of moments that make your heart ache in the best way. And yes, I will probably cry at your wedding. It’s truly an honor to document love in all its forms, and I’m so grateful when couples trust me to capture their day.
The Heart Behind My SessionsThe most meaningful photographs are not just beautiful. They are honest, living in the quiet in-between moments. Every session is about capturing those moments in a way that feels natural, timeless, and deeply personal.
Ways We Can Work Together
-

Weddings
Your wedding day is a collection of fleeting moments: quiet glances, joyful tears, and a celebration that leaves memories for a lifetime. My approach is rooted in storytelling, capturing the beauty of your day as it naturally unfolds so you can relive not just how it looked, but how it felt.
-

Airbnb
Thoughtfully photographed spaces invite people to imagine themselves there. I capture the light, details, and atmosphere that make your property special, creating images that build trust and help guests feel the experience before they even arrive.
-

Engagements
Engagement sessions are a chance to slow down and celebrate this season of your story. Together we’ll wander somewhere beautiful, documenting the connection, laughter, and quiet moments that reflect who you are as a couple.
-

Maternity & Family
These seasons pass quickly, but the love and connection within them deserve to be remembered. My goal is to capture the gentle, candid moments that reflect the heart of your family and the beauty of this chapter in your lives.
-

Portraits
Portrait sessions are about creating space for you to feel comfortable, confident, and seen. Whether it’s a personal milestone, a creative session, or something more intimate like boudoir, these images are designed to feel natural, honest, and uniquely yours.
