Meet Elie

I care about the moments between the portraits.

Beautiful photographs matter. So does the time you spend making them.

A little of my story.

I grew up around Grayton Beach and Point Washington, long before either felt polished or planned. Years later, after spending too much of my own children’s early years distracted by work, I changed course.

Now I photograph the kinds of moments I wish I hadn’t missed: the connection, laughter, chaos and small expressions of love that make your family special.

“It was not so much a photo shoot but more like some great moments spent with our kids captured on film.”

What matters to me

Photographs that feel like your people.

Connection before perfection.

The way a child leans into a parent. A shared joke. The familiar gestures you barely notice until a photograph lets you see them.

A little direction. Room to play.

All sessions include the kind of photos Grandma wants, and everyone still gets to have fun. There’s room for both the family portraits and the moments that happen around them.

Time together, well spent.

Your vacation is a chance to be with each other. A photography session should feel like part of that time together.

The connection, the laughter, and the little things that make this family yours.

Find your kind of session

What would you like to remember?

Sunset Sessions

A relaxed beach evening, a family portrait, and room for the kids to be themselves.

Documentary Family

4 Hour Family or Day in the Life. A relaxed, long form session that allows everyone to get past the jitters and into the good stuff. If you have a large group staying in one beach house, this can also be a great option.

Go enjoy the beach together.

We’ll take care of preserving it.
