Hey! I’m Elise.
The Salisbury Family and Newborn Photographer you’ve been looking for.
As a mum of two little boys, I am here to embrace your family’s brand of chaos and turn it into beautiful, nostalgia-inducing art to fill your walls and heart.
I know how hard it can be to appreciate all the joy that children bring in the moment; that’s where real, emotion-filled photography steps in. A balm for the long hard days. A time capsule for your future.
I believe photography should be a relaxed and fun experience. Something to look forward to as well as look back on. As a self proclaimed camera-phobe I know how hard it is to put yourself in front of the lens, but I also know first hand how much I regret avoiding it.
Part photographer, part storyteller, part child wrangler, part stylist… The list goes on.
Did you know…?
Studies have shown that displaying photos of children around the home increases their self esteem!
On days where I’m dreaming of eating with both of my hands, going to the bathroom alone or sitting in a quiet room where nobody is asking me ‘why?’, the photos on my walls ground me. They’re like a deep breath, a reminder that I really do love my boys and a sign to look for the joy wherever I can find it in the day to day. Parenting can be tough, I know, but I also know that I adore my children.
For kids, though, photos are even more important. Seeing themselves around our home is like a physical sign of our love for them. It builds their self worth and self confidence in the same way as kind and encouraging words. It makes them feel safe, just like a big cuddle. What simpler and easier way is there to show them just how proud we are of them?
Don’t take my word for it!
“We adore the photos, thank you so much. Wow, you did not disappoint! We are so glad we had this photo session done, it means the world to have these little moments captured forever. They are exactly what I wanted.
Somehow you have totally captured our little girl’s spirit and personality, and considering how wriggly she was I am amazed you caught the moments and expressions you did! She is such a little goofball and it really comes through in some of these 😂”
Show me the photos!
So, what makes me different?
For me, it’s all about fun, silliness and making memories.
And yes, that goes for the adults, too! If you’re looking for portraits that’ll make you smile for years to come, you’re not looking for someone to point a camera and say ‘cheese’. You’re looking for someone who will have you genuinely laughing and playing. Someone who’ll bring out the big kid in all of you. Someone who will fall in love with you and your family, just a little bit, because how else can they really show who you are?
You want somebody who understands children (as much as any of us can!) and is ready to do what it takes to help them to relax and enjoy their time with you. You want somebody who sees your beautiful child just how you do, so they can capture that magic for you to hold onto.
If that all sounds good to you, let’s start getting to know each other!
