Our lives are now.
The challenge is to validate ourselves and what we do, right now, messy, in-process, full of glory and failure.
I'm an observational fine art portrait photographer and I'd love to take your picture.
Art does not reproduce the visible; rather, it makes visible.
— Paul Klee
A little about me
01.
I’m elise
From Seattle, I am mother to four, a photographer, writer, climber, divorcee, and dabbler in too many hobbies to mention.
02.
Relationship to home
Home isn't your house, it is you. But your dwelling does reflect parts of you, and the time you spend there is precious. The nurturing, the eating, the cleaning, the laughing, the crying. This is where your life happens.

Photography
The majority of my adult life has been devoted to the unseen acts of caring for my family. Photography is how I honor these mundane but meaningful moments, transforming them from chores to art.
04.
Interesting Fact
As a teenager, I spent a year abroad in Germany and still speak with limited fluency. I hope to be able to spend more time travelling for art, writing, and climbing.
