I am a family and lifestyle photographer based in Aberdeen, originally from Latvia and travel all around Scotland for my photoshoots.
My passion for photography started at the age of 8, and I have been taking photos for over 20 years now. Recently this officially became a business for me.

Elsa was amazing with Franki accommodating her elderly years and health conditions. Her welcome treat pocket made sure Franki’s eyes were on her. Elsa managed spectacularly well considering Franki doesn’t like to pose for photos and won’t stay still long enough. Despite that Elsa rose to the challenge and captured some amazing photos and great memories for us to have. Thank you so much. More...

Elsa was friendly, fun, professional and has the patience of a saint. Elsa had her work cut out for her photographing my 5 cats but she embraced the chaos and rolled with it. Thanks Elsa we loved spending our Sunday with you capturing some great moments x More...

Elsa was so wonderful with my dog Harry. She and her assistants were attentive and checked in with him to make sure he was ok and we got all the photos we wanted. I would definitely recommend her for a photographer. More...
What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
I think lighting is most crucial in photography. Different types of light can create absolutely different moods.
Having an open mind to the photoshoot is important as well, but a good photographer can help with that. :)
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
I like to understand the purpose of the project and if there is any specific meaning behind it, so that I can personalize the photoshoot that much more and it also helps with creating concepts.
What do you love most about your job?
I enjoy meeting new people, families and even pets. No two days are the same.
I love the creativity and the excitement and happiness that radiates from my clients once they see the ready images.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I had been thinking about it for a really, really long time. And really wanted to be one of those people that can say '' if you do what you love you'll never work a day in your life''.
