teacher at heart

People, teaching, and crafting have been my passions for as long as I can remember. I was an elementary teacher for 5 years (I even made it through 2020, woop-woop) but I was always caught feeling the not-so-subtle pull to become a full time photographer. 

That's when I decided to just do it. I wasn't going to let fear hold me back and I haven't regretted the decision since! I get to have the freedom I always wanted, take naps with my weenies daily, and only work with the people who bring me joy.

YOUR HILTON HEAD PHOTOGRAPHER

I'm Elle

Is it weird that I like to highlight the chaos and imperfections of life? I want to tell your unique stories and experiences. Being a parent isn't easy and things rarely go the way you plan.

Compassion

I want to leave every session feeling like I've become a part of your family or your new best friend. Connecting with you is how I get you to feel comfortable in front of the camera. 

Connection

I put an emphasis on capturing real moments and finding beauty in the chaos. Highlighting a commitment to genuine, heartfelt photography and not those perfect moments.

Authenticity

CORE VALUES

discover the experience

Being a photographer means more to me than just taking a picture. You aren't just choosing me as your photographer. You're choosing me to be your friend. To share these intimate moments with you and the people you're closest to. No matter what type of session you book, you'll walk away with more than a gallery of images.

Some things I can guarantee if you book me - we'll laugh together, time will fly by, and we'll create a connection that lasts longer than just your session. 

Teaching is still, and will always be one of my biggest passions.

My WHY?

She has a special gift for making the experience not just about taking photos, but about creating memories we’ll cherish forever.
