Bio:
Elisha has always been a dreamer with a strong vision. 10 years ago, Elisha set out to create a thriving, boutique photography studio in the heart of Regina’s warehouse district. She left her corporate accounting job and took the leap of faith to build her dream business! Elisha specializes in maternity, newborn, and children custom portraiture. Elisha has mentored with photographers across the globe to have a well-rounded approach in her business and create her very own unique style.

This entrepreneurial journey has been one of the wildest rides she could have ever imagined. While raising three little boys Elisha built her business from the ground up. In 2018, after 6 years of dedication, Elisha completed her masters of photographic arts. The next thought was what is my next purpose? What will be my next achievement? With a business background in accounting, a master of photographic arts she began to think of ways she could help other creative entrepreneurs thrive.
