Hi there, I’m Elise!
I’m a fat, queer, neurodivergent artist and I’m ready to laugh with you!
I would like to respectfully acknowledge that I work and live in Amiskwacîwâskahikan ᐊᒥᐢᑿᒌᐚᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ, on Treaty 6 Territory of Turtle Island, home first to the First Nations and Métis’ people of this land. This is ancestral territory, a traditional gathering place, the meeting grounds and travelling routes of many diverse Indigenous Peoples, including Cree, Blackfoot, Dene, Iroquois, Ojibway/Anishinaabe/Saulteaux, Nakota Isga/ Nakota Sioux, Inuit and numerous others whose histories, languages, stories and cultures continue to influence myself and my community today.
I’m an intimate portrait photographer first, but I do everything - creative portraiture, cosplay, families, couples, ceremonies and elopements, live events including burlesque, drag, theatre and music, pets, headshots, pole, arial hoop and dance portraits, and whatever your creative little heart can come up.
DID YOU SAY CEREMONIES / ELOPEMENTS?
I’m going to warn you right now, I’m really excited about love and I absolutely will be your dedicated cheer squad. If you’re looking for a hype human, I’ll be there, on that dance floor with you, to help you capture one of the best days ever!
I am honoured you are considering me to be your photographer!
“Professional, creative and charismatic as hell, Elise is quite frankly one of the best photographers I’ve ever worked with. Instantly, you are wrapped up in their warmth and feel comfortable, as if you’re old friends. Their talent is fresh and their pictures, breathtaking. There wasn’t a single photo I didn’t want out of the collection from our boudoir shoot together and there were over 500 photos! You would be making a mistake by NOT hiring Elise for your next shoot. They are a treasure!”
