Stepping into a clients home for the first time you never know what to expect, you hope for the right little nook to create beautiful work within, maybe a blank wall or a funky chair… but above all else, you hope for big windows letting in gorgeous light… well, this home had it all! I was in love with it the moment I walked in, the bed, the chair the children’s rooms, I actually photographed their rooms without them there, they are so beautifully decorated.

Enough about this mumma’s amazing style, (drool below). Being able to capture a family, a child or a newborn, just as they are is such a wonderful experience, you let their personalities shine though and embrace the crazy.. and when Victoria sent me an email to express her gratitude for the images I was able to capture, I was reminded of why I do what I do the WAY I do it. She wrote:

“What can I say? My images have totally taken my breath away. They are superb. They capture my family perfectly – the chaos, the craziness, the love – they are truly us and in my mind perfect. I feel so lucky to have these Elise, I can’t thank you enough for your beautiful work.”

That kind of response to something that also holds a piece of myself is so heart warming. <3
