Hey there! I’m Elaine, and I’ve been capturing memories behind the camera since 2011. Over the years, photography has taken me all over—D.C., Maryland, Virginia, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Jersey, and back around to Texas! It still amazes me how many places I’ve been and, even more importantly, how many incredible people I’ve met along the way.
My love for photography really took off when our family had to move from Texas. As a military family, we needed something flexible that could move with us, and photography turned out to be the perfect fit. It’s more than just taking pictures for me—I love freezing special moments in time and adding my own creative touch to them. Seeing people smile when they look at their photos is the best part of what I do. If you’re wondering about my background, I earned my certification in photography from the New York Institute of Photography. That’s where I built a strong foundation in photography, but my hometown in New York is where I really got my start and grew into the photographer I am today. I couldn’t have done it without the amazing support of so many people who believed in me. At the heart of it all, I’m passionate, dedicated, and always striving to give my clients the best experience possible. If you’re looking for a photographer who genuinely loves what they do, I’d love for you to check out my portfolio. I hope my images make you smile as much as I enjoyed capturing them. I am a strong believer in having a solid support group. Pushing and supporting my network of amazing female leaders is something I take very seriously. Having that same network doing the same for me is an absolute must! These fabulous and salt of the earth women are doing big things and moving mountains in such a healthy way. It's inspiring. I only wish I had them sooner in life! As a mom who is constantly busy, my biggest advice to you is to be in the moment. What ever it takes. Be in the memory and be in the photos with your families. It's worth it. Just be in it! – Elaine Griffin |
