Hello, I'm Elise

The woman behind the lens

Facilitator trainer, women's self-leadership coach, chaser of golden hour and the one who'll have you laughing before you've even noticed the camera.

I photograph retreats, workshops, ceremonies and the women who lead them, all over the Sunshine Coast and wherever your circle gathers.

My story

I know what it is to hold space

the moments that matter most happen at home

As a facilitator trainer and women's self-leadership coach, I know what it takes to hold a room and share your magic with the world, with integrity, care and honour for every woman's journey.

After many years in this space, I can say with my whole heart that there is so much beauty in looking back and remembering our experiences. The breath that shifted something. The circle that cracked someone wide open. The moment you realised you were exactly where you were meant to be.

Being in the moment is the gift that brought me back to life. Now I'm here to do the same for you.

I don't believe social influence deserves the credit for the moments you create. You do. So I empower you to feel confident and completely comfortable being captured in your element, leading with the very presence that brought your women to you in the first place.

I'm not here to stage anything. Your gallery is designed to feel completely candid: you sharing your work, you holding your people, or you simply soaking up the moment you're in.

And when we work together there will always be music. A frequency you'll remember every single time you take a moment to look back.

A few things I love

The little things that light me up

Go on, move them around. Make a little mood board of your own.

golden hour, always
sunflower fields
long drives
shell-strewn shores
remote places
a really good laugh
drag the polaroids
The one you hire for it all

Wherever you gather, I'll be there with you

And a little side note: yes, AI can write your captions and design your posters. But you're here to leave your signature on the world, and your essence can't be generated. It has to be lived, felt and captured in the moment.
