Hello darling,

You can call me Elle, Ellie, or Elisha.

Or how about you just call me YOUR Photographer! Yes, I have many names and I go by them all! Try one on and see how it sounds. I'm an artist. An Entrepreneur. A Photographer. I create confidence. That is what you gain when you experience a session with me. I guarantee to bring out the sexy goddess/ beast or queen/king inside us all.

I've been doing this for 16 years now. I know what I'm doing. I know my settings in manual mode. I know lighting in all its shapes and forms and situations. I'm adaptive, meaning I can utilize whatever light source I need to create the proper look we need. I'm equipped to "kill it" each session, no matter what lighting situation we're experiencing. My "artist cap" is always on and my artistic talent never stops working for you. Simply put, you will not only LOVE our time together and ADORE each proof you'll see after our shoot, but most importantly, you will fall in love with yourself, your spouse, your family....all over again.

I sell confidence, and I capture love, in every one of it's glorious forms. Self love being first and foremost, is what I hope you find at the other end of my lens; inside yourself. Allowing that love and confidence to bleed and spill over into every area of your life is what I desire for you to experience. When we are confident with ourselves and love ourselves, we can then love everything and everyone around us. We become. We are better. We desire to DO better. We can live harder and love deeper another day. Confidence and self love is key to everything in our lives. And yes, that can start and come from a photography session with me. Cool, huh?

I LOVE life! I work HARD and play even HARDER! I LOVE to travel! I live life in COLOR, VERY vibrantly! (have you seen my hair color? ha ha) (VIEW PICS BELOW )I love my Savior, Jesus Christ, and my family and I'm the PROUD auntie to 20 adorable and lovable nieces and nephews. I just became a great Auntie this year 2022! And...I'm a newlywed to David Contreras and a proud bonus mom to 3 amazing kiddos, Tyce-10, Dominic-7, and Evelyn-5! I have 7 wonderful siblings. 3 sisters and 4 brothers whom I adore. I love so many things and it bleeds into my art, that is my photography! Singing, karaoke, playing my guitar, learning piano, dancing in all its forms, wake surfing, ocean surfing, long skate boarding, acro yoga, healing arts, massage therapy, Doterra essential oils, serving others, lifting weights, staying healthy and fit and active! Oh and I love food. Whole food, mostly plant based with a sprinkle of chicken, turkey, and seafood, because I love fish tacos! I'm a girly girl and I love hair and makeup! I'm good at both too! I will either be doing your makeup or retouching your makeup and hair throughout our session together. Another bonus by booking with me!

When you're ready to meet the new confident self loving you, give me a call. I'll be waiting to show you what the rest of the world sees. They see you. I see you. Are YOU ready to see you?

801.414.4419. I can't wait to create magic together and have a blast doing it!
