I've spent twenty years learning what makes people relax in front of a camera.
Turns out, that's most of the job.
about ELISABETH
2007
estd
I've photographed Olympic athletes, celebrities, and brands like Nike and Under Armour, with features in People Magazine along the way. Before any of that, I worked inside a major sports retailer, which is where I actually learned how visuals move people, long before I ever picked up a camera professionally.
That background still shapes every session I shoot. But the bigger thing I've learned over twenty years has nothing to do with strategy. It's that the best photos happen the moment someone stops performing and starts being themselves. My job is getting you there, fast.
Fargo‑Moorhead Photographer | Founder & Commercial Headshots
There's no shortage of photographers out there. What's harder to find is someone who actually gets what you're going for, instead of handing you the same generic poses everyone else gets.
I'm not interested in that. I want your photos to feel like an extension of you, natural, unmistakably yours, not a template with your face on it.
If you're tired of exhausting shoot days and photos that feel like everyone else's, you're not alone. That's exactly the thing I fix.
Missy felt it. You will too.
“Elisabeth was the perfect fit because she just gets it.”
ABOUT WORKING TOGETHER
Good photos aren't just about looking good. They're about finally feeling like yourself.
In 2007, I launched this business chasing one goal: help business owners get photos that actually look like them, not a stiff, generic version. Almost twenty years later, that's still the goal.
Along the way I've worked with some genuinely great clients and brands, and I've learned what actually holds people back from good photos.
It's rarely about the camera.
It's the nerves, the overthinking, the dread of being looked at. So I build every session around getting past that fast, even for the most camera-shy client I've ever worked with.

- Missy
When the work outgrew the walls, she moved into a historic loft studio overlooking Broadway. More room. More light. More space to dream, expand, and elevate the brands she serves.
2023
Newly married and ready to scale, EE opened her first downtown studio—complete with soaring windows and a front-row view of a charming French pastry shop. (Because good light and good croissants never hurt.)
2013
Opportunity came calling and she answered with confidence. EE stepped into commercial photography, partnering with a major sports retailer and sharpening her eye for brand strategy along the way.
2009
With a passion for growth (and a camera never far from reach), Elisabeth transformed her family farm’s chicken coop into her first studio—proof that big visions often start in small spaces.
