Artful Storytelling
For The Nostalgic At Heart
florida - beyond
It’s in the quiet moments, a stolen glance, a gentle touch, that love speaks the loudest. It’s the joy of a family gathered around the table, the soft intimacy of a couple’s hands finding each other under a starlit sky. It’s the magic of love, shared with those who mean the most.
I’m here to capture the stories that unfold in these moments, those simple, yet profound instances where love and life intertwine. Each photograph will bring back the laughter, the quiet moments, and the love you share, letting you relive your most cherished memories and the beautiful story they tell.

I’m Esther Elise, a storytelling photographer in Central Florida, blending digital, 35mm film, and Super 8 to create honest, artful images. I capture couples, families, and the love that binds them.
Your story is at the heart of every frame—the way you hold each other close, the sparkle in your child’s laughter, and those quiet, unspoken moments that say everything. I’m drawn to the genuine, tender, and imperfectly perfect connections that make your story unique.
This is more than just beautiful photos. It’s about preserving what matters most—the feeling, the memory, the truth of a moment you’ll want to return to again and again. Every image is a keepsake of your story, treasured and timeless.

- THe Mallett Family
"We feel so fortunate to have had Esther take our family photos this spring. She had such a warm, welcoming presence that made us feel very calm and relaxed during our session. We have four very busy children with very different personalities and she made all of us feel comfortable. The photos that we received in our gallery were absolutely breathtaking. She has such a good eye for capturing families and each of our children’s personalities. Every photo she took is a little gift, a treasure that I will keep forever. I highly recommend working with Esther! "
