Swipe to see this cutie six years in a row 🥹💙

There is something so incredibly special about getting to photograph the same families year after year. I love getting to know each family, hearing their life updates every year, and watching personalities change and grow is so fun!

Feeling so thankful for all my return clients each year 🧡🍁

For those of you who haven’t had the chance to meet me in real life (yet!!), I wanted to introduce myself!

Hi! 👋 My name is Elena and I was born and raised in Minnesota! After finishing up college in Wisconsin, I made the move to Fort Collins and have absolutely fallen in love this town.

My passion is family and newborn photography because I LOVE working with kids. I love their energy and playfulness and always try to follow their lead at sessions to make it fun for everyone! 🤗 I’ve also been a nanny here for the past 6 years, which I’m pretty sure gives me some sort of extra super power while photographing kids. 🤭

In my free time I like to mountain bike, go for walks, and hang out with my two perfect kitties.🐱 and fun fact: I have a twin sister!

I’d love if you could comment a fun fact about yourself or a favorite memory from a photo session with me! 📸🤗

Fall family photos are in full swing and this cute family kicked it all off a few weeks ago ✨🍂

The avocado stuffie made it back for year two, swipe to see last year and this year side by side 🥹🫶🏼 I love capturing families and their love and connection, but also those special little things that you’ll never want to forget. 🥑

Friendly reminder: family photos can (and should) be FUN!!!

No fancy location required.
No perfectly coordinated outfits.
No forcing everyone to smile at the same time.

Just your favorite people, hanging out together, having fun and making memories. 🤗

I feel like there’s a lot of pressure on having “picture perfect” (hahahaha) family photos, but the most important thing is that your photos feel like YOU.

I’m hoping to book more playful, backyard sessions this year (or park or ice cream shop😋)! Who’s in?
