Hi, I'm Elisa
IHi, I’m Elisa.
Boudoir is my craft. I’m known for dark, moody portraits and meticulous posing that makes “I’m awkward” a non-issue.
I’ve photographed women of every size, shape, and season—mamas, grandmas, students, executives, caretakers, and women in the thick of real life. My job is the light, the direction, and the calm room. Yours is to show up exactly as you are.
You’ll never be rushed. I pose you head to toe for every frame, keep privacy at the center, and help you choose how to display your images when you’re ready.

Behind the scenes
FUN FACTS
I speak fluent “I’m awkward,” which is why I pose everything—right down to fingertips and chin angles. I’m obsessive about light (yes, I’ll adjust you by millimeters). The Wet Set has its own ritual—warm water, heaters, towels, robe on standby—and I’ll wipe glass between takes like a stagehand. Sessions stay calm and unhurried, and your images are ready to review in about 3–5 days.
I’ve been at this for 19 years.
Photography and business are my favorite rabbit holes—I geek out over light patterns in the cereal aisle and yes, I keep a spreadsheet for my spreadsheets. I’ve photographed more sessions than I can count and I’m somehow more obsessed now than when I started.
I’m a mom of five, homeschooler, and accidental farm girl.
Roll call takes a minute. Between kids, lesson plans, and critters, I run on snacks, schedules, and soft light. If I can wrangle roosters and math workbooks, I can absolutely wrangle a shoot day—with calm, clarity, and a stash of bobby pins.
I’m freakishly good at making people relax.
Awkward is my second language. I talk you through breathing, shoulders, and hands—then mirror each pose so it feels easy. Expect gentle jokes, a robe, and zero pressure. Most clients say, “I forgot to be nervous,” which is exactly the point.
