let's work together
Hi, friend! I'm Ely, a Chick-fil-a sweet tea drinker, avid Swiftie, and your photographer-bestie for those sweet moments you want to document joyfully and effortlessly. Based in Greenville, South Carolina, I am inspired by connection with others and capturing the beauty of the world and people around me. My camera is my tool to preserve memories – your memories – and my heart for encouraging others is the force behind the ELP client experience.

Cuddling with my cat Dottie who loves a good afternoon nap, fuzzy blankets, and sunny spots to take yet another afternoon nap.
Dreaming of my next trip with my husband. On our current bucket list are Yosemite National Park, Japan, and Paris. Send recs!
Growing in my faith. I am a follower of Christ and put my hope in the goodness of the Lord. Prioritizing my spiritual walk comes first and foremost.
Finding outfit inspo on Pinterest. I'm the "create a new board for every occasion" kind of girl. I love to experiment and make my style my own!
Learning new things. Growing my own vegetable garden, making bread, shooting on film, ice skating... You are never too old to learn!
Binge watching The Office for the sixth time. Season 5 Episodes 14 and 26 are my top two episodes. If you know, you know!!.
Spending time with my family of 7. As the oldest of three boys, there is never a moment spent where we are not laughing or texting in our weird family group chat.
Photography is capturing connection, emotion, and moments as authentically as possible. It is personal, and I take my client's experience as-so.
The heart behind what I do is simple—to support my clients and ensure they are cared for. I believe that people worth having in our lives are those who are in our corner and have our best intentions at heart. Someone who is the friend we need regardless of our different opinions, beliefs, or background. Someone who gives us encouragement, meeting us where we are without the pressure to fit a specific box.
Photography is my unique avenue to give others the support, comfort, and encouragement they might need, in addition to being in front of the camera. Through clear communication, session prep checklists, my wedding photography workbook, timeline planning calls, 24/7 client portal, vendor recommendations, location scouting and more, I want my clients to know I am always in their corner because I know how important it is to feel seen, valued, and accepted.
I can’t wait to build a relationship with you and take some beautiful photographs along the way!

the experience
The art of freezing a moment in time has always captivated my heart. I fell in love with looking at a photo and admiring God's creations and the beautiful people He places in our life. By learning the art of photography—playing around with different angles, compositions, techniques, poses, etc.—I've fallen in love with how it allows us to experience a single moment and emotion in a variety of ways, each telling a different story. It is a one-time investment that gives you the gift of a thousand emotions to cherish and relive for generations to come.
