About me
Hello, I'm Eliana
A mother of two, photographing the women who become mothers
I grew up looking at my family's photos. Every time I saw them, even as a teenager, even decades later, I could feel the moment again. The light. The closeness. My mother's hand on my shoulder.
After more than a decade behind the camera and two of my own babies, I've built my work around one belief: the early years move impossibly fast, and you deserve images that bring you back to them. Not just photographs, heirlooms.

What families are saying
"We had the privilege of taking maternity photos and newborn photos with Eliana. Besides being an excellent photographer and the photos turned out amazing, she is also such a kind and attentive person. During our maternity session, she took great care of me and did everything she could to make my day special and to capture beautiful photos. And now, with our newborn baby, she was just as caring and gentle. I 100% recommend her work."

"I've been doing family photos with Eliana for more than a couple years now and she is so patient, kind and lovely with the kids. She is very professional and I couldn't ask for more beautiful photos. She makes you feel comfortable and the whole session easy. Thank you for making our memories last forever."
