Generational Portraits
Quiet, honest portraits of the people who shaped you. Relaxed in-home sessions. Also offering fine art landscape & nature prints.

[email protected] | rogerelliottphoto.com | With a BFA in Documentary Photography from Academy of Art University, I’ve learned that good portraits come from paying attention and earning trust. It’s not about chasing the perfect shot—it’s about being present when the real moment shows up.

He sat down by his desk, looked straight into the lens, and held it. Before every session I send a few questions about their life. It gives us something real to talk about, and their answers go in the album next to the pictures.

Cathedral Rocks, Yosemite Valley. An early spring storm was rolling in and the valley put on a show for me. Clouds were wrapping the granite and light was breaking through in pieces over that bright new green meadow.

People wait for blue sky in Yosemite. I'd rather have days like this one. Cloudy weather is when she shows you everything she's got.

Every image in my shop is a moment I stood in with my camera: the Sonoma coast in the fog, Yosemite, the birds and wildlife I waited for.

I spent this week rebuilding my Etsy shop, and I'm proud of how it turned out.

If one of these photographs means something to you, I'd love for it to hang on your wall. Even the smallest print carries the moment.

For friends and family, everything is 15% off through Saturday, Nov 7. Visit RogerElliottPhotos on Etsy and use code FRIENDS.

Great horned owls don't hurry for anybody. This one sat in the evergreens at Point Reyes, ear tufts up, yellow eyes locked on, with its barred feathers blending into the bark. Most people walk right past them.

I woke up at 5am to make the 50 minute drive to Point Reyes, just to see some owls, bobcats and coyote. The trip did not disappoint. This great horned owl felt obliged to turn her head for me, her ear tufts rising like a crown. I call her "Queen."

Fall is when the vineyards around here quit being green and start being interesting. Every row turns its own color. November 2017, near Moon Mountain. Sonoma County doesn't need help. You just have to be there when the light shows up.

A friend called my generational portraits the antidote to doom scrolling. I'll take it. Nobody asked for this laugh. We spent a little time together and it showed up on its own.

Most folks only see this bridge from the car on Highway 1. I walked down to the beach underneath it in November 2023. From down there you get the whole arch, the creek mouth and the trees all at once. It's worth the walk.

At this age they're mostly brown with some white, and easy to mistake for a big hawk if you don't get a good look. October 2022, up on top of a pine. This one gave me a good look.

I made this one in 2016, from across the bay, with the moon hanging over the city. Black and white leaves you the moon, the lights, and that long reflection on the water. Not much else needed.
