The Elias Diary

5.18.2008

I got to shoot the most wonderful family yesterday. They even climbed in a tree - all of them! Here's a sneak peak.

I don't just take pictures.: I capture emotions. It is as important for me to create a reminder of how you feel as it is for me to capture how you look. My photos are raw and organic with a touch of whimsy. I don’t always wait for everyone to be “just so” before I snap the shot. The best moments are the ones in between that depict the real movement of who you are. I'm not the photographer for everyone nor do I want to be. Look through my images and if the moments I have captured in other people's lives captivate your heart, then maybe I'm the artist for the job. A little about who I am... I live in the mountains of North Carolina with my husband, Santiago and my daughter, Isabella. I love spending time with my family. Whether I am riding horses, rock climbing, hiking, trail running or playing soccer in the rain, I love being outside. The earthy grit that makes my life great is what makes my photos great, so if you're up for adventure, and if you love my non-traditional style, I'd love to work with you.
