HELLO FRIEND, I’M ELENA
Mama of three girls, wife, and self-taught photographer
Did you know…
My photography journey began during one of the most life-changing seasons, when I was pregnant with my first child. It turns out, those wild pregnancy hormones led me to the career of my dreams, and they couldn’t have been more right! Inspired by the beauty of capturing my daughter’s first moments, I quickly fell in love with photography! What started as a simple passion grew into a career I cherish deeply- preserving life’s most meaningful memories.
“Life has taken us from Canada & America, through Europe, to the breathtaking Pacific Islands of Vanuatu.”
Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of capturing families, couples, and weddings for my incredible clients, turning fleeting memories into treasures that last a lifetime.
My goal is to create timeless, elegant, and romantic images that tell your story authentically. I specialize in bright and airy photography, delivering clean and crisp photos that will look just as beautiful on your walls for generations to come.
Whether you’re celebrating a wedding, a family milestone, or just everyday love, I’m here to help you preserve those cherished memories in a way that feels uniquely you.
Aside from photography, my life is amazing. I’m a mother of three beautiful girls—and a proud wife. I’m incredibly grateful for my husband, my number one supporter, who helped me become the photographer I am today.
Okay, enough about me! I want to get to know you and all the incredible details you’ve planned. My photographs are your stories. I hope we can write them together. .
