Before you share your story, let me tell you
mine.
Hey! I'm Becca - a midwest girl born and raised but my heart belongs to the ocean. My family moved to Wilmington, NC four years ago from MinneSNOWta and if I never see snow again I'll be just fine, lol. Family photography has my heart but I also photograph couples and maternity + newborns.. I can't wait to meet you, know your story and uncover all the best parts of you.
My girls are past diapers + naps, story-time + check-ups. Do you want to know something so exciting but truly heartbreaking? THEY GROW UP.
It's crazy how quickly you forget their favorite toy, tiny footprints and little voices. Creating forever moments is now my gift to you. Capturing candid moments is the heart and soul of why I started East & Elm Photo. To make sure you have these moments long after they've grown. Every session is special to me because when I look back at our photos, I know the weight they carry. All those little details deserve to be remembered. SO, if you're here for all those in-between moments - I'm your girl.
"Photography remembers the little things, long after you've forgotten everything."
Let's get to know each other.

& a homeschool mom

hospitality first
Yep, I went to culinary school long before I ever picked up a camera and I'm a classically trained chef. I still love getting creative in the kitchen, and feeding people is honestly one of my favorite ways to love them. Good food just has a way of bringing everyone together.
Nothing resets me quite like a good yoga class. Life gets busy, work gets full, motherhood gets loud, and somehow an hour on the mat helps me slow down enough to breathe again. It's my favorite way to refill my cup.
If you had told me ten years ago I'd be homeschooling my kids, I would've laughed.
And yet... here we are. It's one of the hardest things I've ever done and one of the most rewarding. It stretches me every single day, but I wouldn't trade this season for anything.
My hospitality years taught me that people might not remember every little detail, but they'll always remember how you made them feel. That's something I carry into every single session, because taking great photos matters, but taking great care of people matters more.
