Hi! I’m Elisa!
(pronounced Ee-lee-sah—don’t worry, it’s a tricky one!)
I’m a pet storyteller and keeper of a hive of busy B’s—my husband Blake, our rescue pups Bert and Bodie, and soon, a Baby Boy due in May 2025!
🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
Blake isn’t just my partner in life—he’s also my photography assistant and an unofficial dog whisperer (much to my dismay, dogs always adore him more than me!!!)
At home in Fredericksburg, Virginia, our lives balance adventure and comfort. Bert loves leading us on outdoor explorations, while Bodie is all about snack-fueled couch relaxation (as am I!).
Why I Do What I Do
I was born with an insatiable love for animals (dogs especially!), but it’s been a journey to channel that passion into my life and career.
What began as a quiet fascination grew into a proud identity—a devoted pet portraitist on a mission to honor the unique souls of the animals we adore.
Ever since I could hold a crayon, I’ve been creating stories about dogs through pictures. What started as sketching picture books has transformed into capturing their essence through my camera lens.
To me, pets aren’t just companions—they’re family and equals. They enrich our lives with their love, quirks, and emotional intelligence. Since they can’t tell their own stories in words, I’ve made it my mission to reveal their true selves through images that honor their individuality.
Calm, Collected, and Pet-Centered
As a yoga-loving homebody, I understand the need for peace—especially for pets (and people) who thrive in calm over chaos.
That’s why my private studio is designed to be a relaxed, distraction-free space.
Here, your pet can shine, whether they’re bursting with energy or need a little extra time to settle in.
Together, we’ll create a stress-free experience tailored to their personality—no rush, no pressure. You can trust me to guide every session with patience, care, and a touch of zen. Namaste.
Passionate Home Curator 🖼️
I believe a home should be more than just a space—it should tell the story of the people and pets who live there.
On weekends, you’ll often find me “finding” treasures at flea markets, antique shops, and big-box meccas like At Home, curating pieces that bring joy, personality, and meaning to my space.
This same passion drives me to create custom pet portraits for my clients. Together, we’ll craft artwork that celebrates your pet’s unique place in your life. Let’s add warmth, spirit, and lasting memories to your walls, honoring the bond you share with your beloved companion.
Seeing Your Pet the Way You Do—With Heart & Soul
If you’re looking for a photographer who truly sees your pet the way you do—their heart, soul, and all the little things that make them irreplaceable—you’re in the right place.
My sessions are all about showcasing your dog as the star they are—larger than life, irresistibly adorable, and brimming with personality. Thoughtfully chosen backdrops and accessories bring their story to life and capture the bond you share.
Let’s create portraits that celebrate the love and joy your pet brings to your life—because they deserve to be honored, and you deserve memories to treasure forever.
