Coming out of the Shadow

Welcome to My Lens (and Beyond): The Beginning of a New Chapter

Hi there, and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

Starting this blog feels a little like stepping behind the lens for the first time—exciting, a little nerve-wracking, and full of potential. Whether you’ve stumbled here by accident, or you’re a client, friend, fellow creative, or curious passerby—thank you for joining me on this new adventure.

I’m Elisa, a Weber County-based photographer who’s passionate about capturing real moments, genuine connection, and all the beautiful in-between details life has to offer. But photography is just one piece of the creative puzzle.

I’m also someone who loves to learn, build, paint, design, and make things with my hands and heart. Whether I’m behind the camera, in front of a canvas, rearranging a room, or knee-deep in a DIY project—I’m most alive when I’m creating.

Why a Blog?

I created this space because I wanted to do more than just share finished galleries or social media highlights. This blog is going to be a home for all the things—the things I create, the things I learn, the things I love.

You can expect a mix of:

• Behind-the-scenes peeks from photoshoots
• Tips for clients and fellow creatives
• Reflections from my photography journey
• Home projects, DIY builds, and design ideas
• Occasional bursts of paint and chaos
• Honest thoughts on creativity, balance, and growth

This is where photography meets real life—where creativity isn't boxed in and ideas are free to take shape however they want to.

Whether you’re here for the photos, the projects, or the inspiration—I hope you’ll stick around. I’m so excited to build this space, one post at a time.

With gratitude,

Elisa
