Mirror Image K9 Anniversary
When I heard about the news of a doggy daycare near me, I got excited but was hesitant at first. I have never been a fan of daycares where it’s just a free for all for the dogs. My dog can be timid and shy and I do not want to ever put her in a situation where I cannot be her protector. MIK9 is so much more than just a doggy daycare. They have some amazing people who interact with the dogs, teach them important skills, and hone in on the already existing ones. Not only do they encourage some play but also down time. Well, this place has now been around for over a year and I’m so, so happy to see how successful they have been. Cheers to many more anniversaries!

Totally out of my comfort zone, did I agree to photographing a family session. Actually liking most of the photos we got out of this session, I think 2023 will be a year I will be dipping my toes a bit more into the waters of discomfort when in comes to photography. Cheers to some fear!
Hi there
I think it's finally time that I introduce myself to the people who are following me. My name is Elena and I have been designing and taking pictures since 2011. Born and raised in Germany, I came to the states as an Au Pair. Going to school while taking care of 3 kids, I found what I was passionate about pretty quickly! DESIGN.
Attending the Art Institute in Philadelphia, I realized I did not want to graduate with a lot of student loan debt. I went back to the Community College I had gone to before and graduated in December of 2010. By January of 2011 I had a job as a graphic artist in an in-house team which was one of the best jobs I have ever had. I found mentors and life-long friends.
In 2013, my husband and I decided to move south and we’ve been calling Atlanta our home since then. It came with lots of challenges, having to find new jobs, a new place to live, new friends, and starting all over again. Through training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Borges BJJ we instantly found a new family and a new network of people from all sorts or backgrounds. Over the last few years, we have been lucky enough to be able to buy a beautiful house, adopt a dog, buy a new car, and I have travelled back to Germany fairly often to see my family.
Work wise life has been great. I'm working full-time for a small agency and love my job as well as the people I work for and with.
Doing photography on the side is something that brings me a lot of joy. Whether it is horses, dogs, clients' headshots, or snapping away while people are doing what they love doing, it is all exciting to me. I love the process, I love the editing, and the sending off to make clients happy.
In 2020, I would like to spend a little more time on promoting my business and connect with new people for some fun photoshoots.
