My name is Elsye and I'm a #WomanInSports, a pitbull mom, and freelance photographer in DeKalb, Illinois

​I attended school at Bowling Green, where I was a cheerleader and student marketing photographer. Those 5 years were spent learning everything I could about photography, and I fell in LOVE.

​In November 2020, I had the opportunity to move across the country to Las Vegas to advance my career. Moving from my small town in Michigan to the Southwest was a HUGE step for me, but one thing that kept me rooted was my passion for photography. After 3 years in Sin City I returned to my Midwest roots and relocated to DeKalb to work for Northern Illinois University. #GoHuskies!

​In the 7 years I've been a photographer, I've really focused on making my clients feel as comfortable as possible. Everyone should feel good in front of the camera, and I'm here to help you feel your absolute BEST.

I offer small packages for couples and weddings, but primarily focus on senior photography with a specialization in sports portraits.
