Aloha! I'm Elisa.


I'm a photographer, adventurer, wife, mom, french fry lover, coffee enthusiast, and firm believer that life's best moments are often the unscripted ones.

 

I call Steamboat Springs, Colorado, home, and I absolutely love this mountain community. When I'm not behind the camera, you'll likely find me skiing, hiking, mountain biking, playing pickleball, or out on the water surfing behind a boat or hydrofoiling. I love being outdoors and soaking up everything nature has to offer—from snowy mountain peaks and alpine lakes to ocean waves and sunsets.

 

My husband, Adam, our two kids, and our dog, Mango, are at the center of my world. Much of my time is spent cheering on my kids as they pursue Nordic combined, a sport that combines ski jumping and cross-country skate skiing. Whether we're traveling, exploring new places, or simply enjoying an afternoon together, I treasure the adventures we share as a family.

 

Originally from Massachusetts, I eventually found my way west and fell in love with Colorado. Along the way, I spent a memorable chapter living in Maui, Hawaii, where I learned to surf and embrace the spirit of aloha—a mindset of gratitude, connection, and living fully in the moment.

 

Photography has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. What I love most isn't creating perfect images—it's capturing real moments. The laughter between family members. The excitement of a senior stepping into a new chapter. The passion of an athlete. The quiet glance between two people who love each other. The little details that often become our favorite memories.

 

My approach is simple: be present, have fun, and tell your unique story. I want your photos to feel natural, genuine, and authentically you.

When I'm not behind the lens, you'll find me enjoying a good cup of coffee, listening to live music, planning my next adventure, cheering on my favorite country artists, or searching for the best french fries in town.

 

Thanks for being here. I can't wait to learn your story and help capture the moments that matter most.
