Hey, I’m Elissa
Photographer. Explorer. Outdoor Enthusiast
Capturing experiences in nature that allow you
to feel alive & authentically YOU!
Kaua’i, Hawai’i based, but always exploring beyond :)
My photography celebrates the ability to move, to challenge yourself, and to feel at home in both nature and in your body. I bring people into beautiful natural spaces and document them as they hike, paddle, swim, or simply pause, capturing moments of presence, accomplishment, and quiet pride. After spending over 12 years navigating chronic illness that limited my ability to fully enjoy movement and the outdoors, I turned my experience into a passion rooted in thankfulness for my freedom, strength, and connection to nature.
Through my work, I do more than just enjoy a hike and photograph landscapes; I honor your beauty within them. My goal is for you to feel strong, capable, and deeply connected to yourself, walking away with images that reflect not just where you were, but how it felt to be there.
So, whether you want to take an adventure through the jungle or just relax and pose on the beach, I’m here to photograph YOU in YOUR element!
Let’s explore together :)
