About Me

Hiya! I’m Elise – an unconventional photographer fueled by raw people, genuine connections and the always unfolding adventure of life. Sound cool? Dope. Stick around because I have a feeling we are going to be friends ◡̈

I picked up my first camera at the age of 14, taking advantage of the East Coast landscapes before I discovered my love for the art of noticing; noticing the natural movements, moments, and emotions shared between people.

We’re all on this floating rock for an authentic human experience and a memorable journey, right? So, let’s kick it to capture what’s special and unique to your story and have one hell of a time doing it!

A Few of
My Favs:

  • pizza, burgers, Hot Dog Johnny's, popcorn + fresh fruits

  • The Goonies + Steel Magnolias

  • NH (White Mountains) + Ireland

  • You can catch me hiking to clock those miles, working with my Malinois/GSD mix or spending time with loved ones <3

  • Ultrasound images of a fetus, hands holding on a white surface, and a bouquet of flowers.

    "If you’re thinking of scheduling a shoot with Elise, do it! I promise you won’t have a single regret.She was super friendly from the very beginning and really understood the concept I was looking for. Elise made us feel comfortable throughout the entire shoot - we actually had a ton of fun with her, too. We received our gallery quicker than I expected and I was instantly obsessed with the photos. She has such a natural and crisp, yet funky style to her work. We will definitely be booking with her again!"

    "I always have the absolute best time working with Elise! From fun photos to a professional branding experience she nails it. I’m always looking forward to the next idea or collab with eh exposures. Elise always keeps a fun, relaxing but professional setting for anyone that’s a little camera shy - Highly recommend booking your next photo opportunity with her!"

    "My fiancé and I are more reserved people so although we were excited to have a couples photoshoot done for our engagement, we were a little apprehensive about getting in front of the camera. Elise reassured us, helped us with movements/poses throughout the session and made us very comfortable. Elise is professional, yet a lot of fun to work with and she captured what we share so perfectly. We received “sneak peeks” very soon after our photoshoot and received a large, beautifully edited gallery only a few short weeks later. I would recommend EH Exposures to any couple 100 times over even if you’re nervous in front of a camera! We are so happy with our photos and will look back on these for years to come!"

    "I stumbled upon Elise when I saw someone I know on social media post these incredibly taken and edited photos they had done by her. When I saw them I had to see who the photographer was, that’s when I landed on her Instagram! I spent endless time just scrolling and seeing her flawless work and was obsessed!! Fast forward a year later, I had gotten engaged and finally had the opportunity and excuse to work with Elise and it was hands down the best experience from start to finish! She had stayed in contact with me right up until it was photo time. Answered my questions on outfits, had sent me inspo pics and really got my anticipation up to finally get them taken! When we had met her at the location she was so outgoing, kind, funny, and overall just a GOOD HUMAN! Her love and knowledge truly showed while taking the photos, she took two camera shy people and a 6 year old and provided us such easy and calming direction on what to do and captured the most perfect photos / memories we get to have forever! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take our engagement photos! I was speechless when I got them and believe me there was a ton! Even after the photos were done and we got our digital photo library, she sent us the sweetest card with little keepsake photos that I have at my work desk and get to admire daily! This is the first of many sessions with Elise and I couldn’t have been luckier to find her Instagram! We seriously can’t recommend her enough and we are forever grateful for her! "

Don’t be shy! If we have had the opportunity to work together, I would love to hear your feedback ♡
