When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me discovering quiet corners of this beautiful state with my Mini Aussie Milo, soaking in sunsets and fresh air. I’ve been enjoying baking sourdough, drawn to its slow, intentional pace, and pottery has become my new creative escape—crafting simple mugs that carry their own stories. These simple, creative moments inspire how I see and capture love.
This isn’t about poses or checking off a shot list. It’s about capturing what’s real. Your story. Your people. Your rhythm. Let’s create something that feels like you—and honors what matters most.
I’m Esther Elise, a storytelling photographer based in Central Florida, devoted to capturing not just beautiful images, but the soul behind every moment.
Whether you’re building a life with your love, raising your family, or savoring the everyday magic, this is an invitation to slow down, be fully present, and preserve the intimate moments that make your story uniquely yours
Using the timeless mediums of digital, 35mm film, and nostalgic Super 8, we’ll create timeless photographs and films—artful keepsakes your future self will treasure, transporting you back to the very feeling of that day.
My faith in Jesus Christ quietly guides my work, opening my eyes to the beauty in everyday life and helping me connect deeply with the people I’m honored to work with. I’m inspired by emotion, gentle movement, and those quiet, in-between moments that say the most.
You don’t need perfect poses or picture-perfect settings to create something meaningful. What matters most is capturing a moment that feels true—a photograph that lets you hold a feeling in your hands and remember the beauty of how it really was.
As your storyteller, I’m here to preserve the beauty of this season—just as it is. I pour my heart into creating imagery that feels honest and deeply personal. Your story is one of a kind, and it deserves to be told with care and intention. It’s a true honor to document these moments you’ll hold onto for a lifetime.
