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.

Your Moments
Forever Preserved,
I’m Esther Elise, a storytelling photographer based in Central Florida. Through a blend of digital, 35mm film, and nostalgic Super 8, I create images that feel honest, artful, and alive with emotion. I capture couples, families, and the quiet love that weaves them together.
Your story lives in every frame—the way you hold each other close, the sparkle of your child’s laughter, and the soft, unspoken moments that speak volumes. I’m drawn to the genuine, tender, and beautifully imperfect connections that make your story uniquely yours.
This is more than just photography. It’s about preserving the feeling, the memory, the essence of moments you’ll want to return to again and again. Each image becomes a timeless keepsake—a love letter to your story, quietly cherished through the years.

"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.
