EMOTIVE WEDDING + FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY
virginia and beyond
hi + welcome!
I'm a documentary style, storytelling photographer based in Virginia. Although I live in Fredericksburg you can usually find me traveling out to Charlottesville and the surrounding areas of the Virginia mountains.
My approach to photography is the capture moments that not only tell a story but also evoke emotion, bringing you right back to a moment in time when you view your gallery.
Your experience of having your photos taken is just as important to me as your final images. From the second you start to fill out a contact form, to communicating about details leading up to our time together, to actually having your photos taken-the whole experience should not only be easy but also fun and natural.

I spontaneously booked a couples shoot with Else and I do not regret it a single bit! We met her for the first time & she instantly made us feel comfortable in front of her. We shared lots of laughs & intimate moments. My boyfriend even said during the shoot “I didn’t realize how much fun this was going to be”. Our previews came back the next day and our gallery within the 2 week time frame she gave us & we are absolutely in love!!
We highly recommend using her!!
