Hi! I'm Eliana, and I'm a visual storyteller. I've been doing photography professionally for more than six years – first as an event photographer for the Univeristy of Chicago, and then as a family, couples, and wedding photographer!
***Pros Pay PER LEAD on TT, so please find me online elsewhere if you’re just curious but not serious! I really appreciate it!***
Thank you for being here! I believe that photography should be FUN, and that’s why every session is filled with little prompts and games to help you have a blast. You don’t need to worry about practicing your smile because I’m here to help your real one shine during our session. I’ve been doing photography for more than six years and have photographed all ages — from 0 to 105! No matter who you are or what stage of life you’re in, if you’re looking for a fun-filled session that will leave you giggling and giddy, you’re in the right place. I never alter or photoshop bodies because I’m here to help you capture your beautiful self!
I love fostering connections with my clients. The best pictures come when you feel comfortable and confident in front of the lens, and I'm here to help you get there! Every session comes with a pre-shoot consultation where we'll get to know each other and you can tell me exactly what your vision is. Each shoot is customized to your needs, and it's important to me that if we choose to work together, you feel like I'm the right fit for you.
I love using photography to turn moments into memories. Let me help you tell your story!

Photography is more than a job or a passion, it is a mission to capture the present in forever and I am truly grateful I've been gifted with such skills and vision. With more than 7 years of experience, my focus is quality and unicity. That gave me the opportunity of working with many bloggers, artist and celebrities as the personal photographer of Michael Jackson:
Sam Emerson or the journalist of the New York Times: Nick Madigan, the model and public person/ influencer with over 4m followers:
Haley Kalil, etc. I worked with many designers; attended several fashion shows in Chicago and NY Fashion Week. In 2023 I have opened the most unique photo studio in Chicago named "Art on You Studio".
With high education in Sciences of Communication, I can say that photography is a therapy meant to help you a lot to build confidence and start loving who you are. Some of my competitors might be cheaper, but what I am offering is not just a service, it is an experience you will never forget.
