Hi, I'm Eleya
I grew up in a small village in Northern B.C. and had to entertain myself in creative ways. I received my first camera at the age of 8 and the rest is history! I've loved every aspect of photography and the endless opportunities it offers.
I adore meeting new people, I feel everyone has a story to share and I find it an incredible privilege to be able to capture a significant moment in your life. My goal is to make the experience both fun and memorable. My style is candid, authentic, and true to who you are, with a few helpful directions here and there.
A few irrelevant facts
-
Places I've lived - Fraser Lake, Surrey, Langley, Kitsilano, Vancouver, Williams Lake, Calgary & currently Kelowna
Favourite Ice Cream Flavour - Mint Chip all the way
Best Day - Surrounded by friends and/or family somewhere near water
Most Watched Movie - It's probably a tie with Mrs. Doubtfire and The Emperors New Groove (i'm a kid at heart)
Next Vacation - Tulum or France
Party Trick - I'm pretty convinced that I do a great Sean Connery impression
why choose ELQ?
approach
My approach to photography is all about keeping things light, relaxed and fun. Rather than focusing on stiff poses, I guide you with simple prompts that encourage natural movement. My number one goal is to create a gallery that feels authentic to you.
Passion
Photography has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Since I was young I've always been drawn to the feeling of capturing moments through a lens. Being behind the camera is where I feel most inspired and there's nothing I love more than preserving meaningful memories for others. With over 10 years of experience photographing people, my passion continues to grow with every story I have the privilege of documenting.
adaptable
Every session is designed with you in mind. My goal is to create a comfortable, relaxed experience where you can simply be yourself. I adapt to each client, whether you need more guidance, a slower pace, or space to let moments unfold naturally. I also offer custom photography packages, ensuring every session is tailored to your unique vision, needs, and the memories you want to preserve.
value
I believe that everyone deserves to have their most meaningful moments captured. That's why I'm committed to offering value through competitive pricing, thoughtfully designed packages, and added benefits that make your investment worthwhile. My goal is to make professional photography accessible without compromising on quality, so you can walk away with beautiful memories you'll cherish for many years.
