Raised in the Shenandoah Valley, Elise grew up with a love for art and nature. She could always be found with a camera in her hand from middle school onwards.

After studying digital and fine art at Bridgewater College, Elise began freelancing around the valley doing real estate and architectural photography as well as farm photography for a local dairy co-op. After that, she worked at JMU for several years, and a local marketing firm for several years before deciding to come back into the freelance world.

Elise has always had a love for storytelling. Over the years, she has been able to hone and grow that skillset to create quality content to help many organizations and businesses with their goals.

When not filming or editing, Elise enjoys spending time with her family, gardening, identifying native plants and insects, fostering kittens, running, and raising ducks and chickens on her and her partners tiny hobby farm.
