I’m a documentary style photographer based in Minneapolis, MN. Creating genuine, emotional, and organic imagery that makes you feel something.

I’ve been told that empathy is my superpower…sometimes to a fault. Sometimes it bites me in real life, but when it comes to art, it’s what sets my heart on fire. My favorite thing about photography is capturing the unique energy of each individual. I’ve always felt most comfortable sitting back and observing, which is why my documentary-style approach is so perfect for me.

My friends call me El —

It is a form of art; it is how I connect with others and express myself. you are putting an insane amount of trust into a person when you ask them to photograph your wedding - and I do not take that lightly. It is truly such an intimate thing and that's why I do my best to forge a connection with my clients: because you are not JUST my client.

We are friends. We trust each other. Building these relationships and witnessing the most beautiful of memories being made is why I do what I do. I'm here to serve you quietly and passionately.

Photography for me is not just a business...

My work is a balance between intentional, emotional, organic, and documentary. I capture moments as they unfold- the good, the bad, the mundane. My goal is to seek out the beauty of every circumstance and bring it to light.

"Working with Elle was absolutely the best experience I have ever had taking any type of photos! I have zero experience with posing or professional photos, yet I felt so comfortable and confident the entire time with her guidance and expertise. My photos were returned to me unbelievably fast with stunning edits, and I received so many options to choose from in the final portfolio..."
