So far, Elaine has done two sittings for me. Both sittings exceeded my expectations in every way. Elaine put me at ease immediately. She guided me through the shoot, and also allowed me to provide all kinds of input. Somehow, she was able to capture my personality in all my photographs. I have used them both personally and professionally. I continue to get compliments months, even years later! She is phenomenal at what she does. She is an artist for sure. Thank you, Elaine! More...

Had a wonderful couples shoot with Elaine. She picked a beautiful location, and paid close attention to detail. She gave us recommendations for poses, but also gave us freedom to do what we wanted as well. She wanted to truly capture our relationship in the photos by having us be ourselves. She was extremely kind, and I loved doing business with her. Would recommend and go back to for future shoots. More...

There is a magic that only certain photographers have- the ability to draw out and capture your best in the photo. Elaine Derby is such a magician. From her professional approach, welcoming studio, to her intuitive clarity about setting "your" photo session, she draws the essence of you out, captures it in the photo and delivers it for your social media and presentation usages. Easy, professional and very skillful- that's why I choose Elaine! More...

Elaine has been taking portraits of myself and my family for over 20 years. Every stage of my life has been documented with a timeless authenticity not often seen in family photography. I have experienced her photoshoots through the eyes of an unruly child, a surly teenager, and now an adult and I can honestly say no matter my age I always have fun in front of her camera lens. After the passing of my grandmother, family portraits fell by the wayside. This year I wanted to do something special for my mother's birthday. I wanted a gift that was both personal and beautiful and I of course thought of Elaine. I am so pleased and excited to add another work of art to our collection. How lucky are we to have someone in our lives who knows our good side better than we do?! More...

Elaine is a consummate professional and true artist. She allows her subjects to be themselves and through her patient, kind approach, Elaine elicits the most natural expression in her photography. Even when my children were babies and sometimes unruly, there was no feeling of pressure but rather the assurance that she would capture a beautiful, honest expression, with or without a smile. Elaine has photographed the many stages of our children and family over the past 12 years and her photography has a timeless quality that is hard to find. Elaine is wonderful to work with and her end product is unmatched! More...

I am absolutely thrilled with photographs Elaine took of me. They are just stunning. She captured a variety of looks and moods, ranging from professional to playful to romantic. This is especially remarkable because I am very shy in front of the camera. Elaine was very kind and patient and coached me through it all. I am so grateful to her for documenting this time in my life. More...

I have been reluctant to have a professional portrait done for several years because past experiences with other photographers were so unsatisfactory. Then I found Elaine!! We went to a beautiful outdoor location where she patiently waited for just the right light. I was astounded when I went to her studio to see the results. For the first time in my life I was thrilled with my photos. She doesn’t just take pictures. She captures the essence and soul of her subject! I highly recommend Elaine without reservation. More...
