Her connection to photography started early, flipping through family albums and noticing the texture of old prints. By her teenage years, she was in the darkroom, learning how to slow down and really see. She briefly studied photography at the College for Creative Studies before leaving to build her career independently.

Guided by intuition, Elise knows when to step in and when to pull back. She allows space for real connection to unfold while quietly shaping what matters. Her work is shaped by subtle details and the energy of a space, catching what might otherwise go unnoticed.

She lives in Michigan with her dog, drawing inspiration from fashion, Paris, late nights, flea markets, cinematic playlists, and architecture across her travels.

For Elise, photography is both art and memory, and each gallery is created to reflect the unexpected magic within each story.

Her work is for people who care about how it felt, not just how it looked.
