Hi, I’m Elaine—
Your New Hype Girl

I’m a wedding, couple, maternity, and family photographer based in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, always ready to travel wherever love and life take us.

I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was eleven years old, long before I knew photography would become my career. From the very beginning, I was drawn to creativity, to art, to the quiet beauty tucked inside ordinary moments. I’ve always noticed the small things, the way light falls, the way hands reach for each other, the fleeting expressions that say everything without a word. After two years photographing professionally, that way of seeing still guides everything I create.

Photography gives me the freedom to tell stories honestly. To preserve the big, breathtaking milestones and the in-between moments that often mean even more. I love meeting new people, learning what makes them who they are, and creating a space where you can breathe, be present, and feel completely yourself in front of my lens. My goal is always for you to see your own beauty the way the people who love you see it.

Since becoming a mother, I’ve learned how quickly time moves and how sacred the smallest moments truly are. It pushed me to slow down, to pay attention, and to photograph with even more heart and intention. That is where I thrive, in moments that are real, emotional, and deeply human.

I pour my heart into every couple, every family, every story that trusts me with their memories. I believe the experience matters just as much as the images themselves. Anyone can take a pretty photo, but my hope is to give you something more. Something that feels like you. Something you can return to and feel all over again.

Let’s create something meaningful together. Nothing is too big or too small.
