About

Welcome to Wild Joy Photography, where we celebrate the magic of motherhood and the beauty of connection through vibrant and enchanting photography. I'm Elise, the creative spirit behind the lens, and I am thrilled to share a bit about myself and my journey with you.

​

My Journey

​

I've been a passionate photographer and creative since 2008, when I first embarked on this magical journey. With a degree in photography and early experience working at Sears Portrait Studio, I've spent years honing my craft and exploring the endless possibilities of storytelling through images. My love for photography is deeply intertwined with my fascination for stories, the sea, and the stars—elements that inspire me to capture the world in its most mystical and beautiful forms.

​

A Creative Vision

​

In addition to photography, I am a dedicated artist and book designer, creating stunning visual stories that my clients can cherish forever. I believe that art, whether it’s a photograph, a painting, or a beautifully designed book, serves as a timeless memory of the most magical thing on earth: people. Each piece is a testament to the powerful connections we form with one another and the world around us.

Based in Indiana, I draw inspiration from the sea and the light, a nod to my endless love for both storytelling and exploration. My work reflects this blend of light and depth, bringing a boho and mystical edge to every portrait.

Celebrating Motherhood and Connection

​

As a mother myself, I understand the fleeting nature of time and the importance of preserving those precious moments with our children. My portrait sessions are more than just a photo shoot—they are an opportunity for families to connect, laugh, and create lasting memories. In a world that often feels disconnected, I strive to provide a space where families can immerse themselves in joy and togetherness while I capture their magic.

​

I focus on bright, natural light photography that highlights the beauty of authentic moments. Whether it's a mini session for your family or a maternity shoot that celebrates the goddess within, my goal is to create images that resonate with your unique spirit and story.

​

A Collaborative Experience

​

At Wild Joy Photography, I run a boutique studio dedicated to providing personalized service and attention to detail. From brainstorming session ideas to crafting beautiful books that showcase your magic, I am here to guide you every step of the way. Collaboration is at the heart of what I do—when creative souls come together, true magic happens.

​

I invite you to explore the possibilities of what we can create together. Whether you're dreaming of a stunning family gallery, a beautiful book to treasure, or simply wish to adorn your space with inspiring art, let's make your vision a reality.

​

Thank you for considering Wild Joy Photography to capture your story. I can't wait to work with you and create a piece of magic that you'll cherish forever.
