We cannot recommend ElleG highly enough! As a family of four with two young children, getting professional photos taken can feel like herding cats, but she made the entire experience so enjoyable and stress-free. Lisa showed incredible patience with our kids, taking the time to connect with them and capture their genuine personalities rather than forcing stiff poses. When things got chaotic (because let's be real, they always do with little ones), she stayed calm, flexible, and even made it fun for everyone involved. The final photos exceeded our expectations – she managed to capture those fleeting moments of joy, laughter, and connection that we'll treasure forever. Beyond the technical skill, what really sets ElleG apart is her ability to work with families in real life, chaos and all. If you're looking for a photographer who truly understands family dynamics and can create beautiful memories despite the inevitable toddler meltdowns, look no further. We are so grateful that she puts up with our circus year after year!
Working with Lisa was easy, and the photos were amazing! We’re from out of town, and she picked a beautiful beach location for senior photos. Even though it was crowded, she managed to deliver a huge set of perfect photos; it looked like nobody was there. Her turnaround time was incredibly fast, too. Highly recommend!
We’ve had the pleasure of working with Lisa for several years, and her work continues to amaze us. From capturing our family in the very beginning to now our girls’ senior photos—and everything in between—Lisa has documented so many meaningful moments in our lives, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Specializing in beach, family, and lifestyle photography, she has an incredible gift for capturing fun, relaxed moments that feel both genuine and timeless. Her easygoing nature puts everyone at ease—especially with kids—and it shows in the effortless beauty of her photos. We absolutely trust the process every time, knowing we’re in expert hands from start to finish. Beyond the stunning images, we’ve come to truly value the relationship we’ve built with Lisa over the years. We can’t recommend her highly enough to anyone looking to capture life’s special moments in a natural, meaningful way. We are truly thankful to have all of these cherished memories that she has captured on film for us over all these years! Thank you so much Lisa, you have such a special gift! The Traftons
Lisa is so talented! We are so lucky that we found her! We did our engagement photos on the beach at La Jolla Shores/Scripps and also a underwater shoot. We are so happy with our photos, we love how they turned out. Lisa is such a nice person and she makes you feel so comfortable and she is so easy to work with. The underwater photo session was extra fun, we laugh so much the whole time. We are looking forward to our wedding day and to once again create great memories on film that we can keep forever. I hope Lisa can continue to be our family photographer. 9 years later & we are so happy with our Wedding photos, maternity photos & family photos! We love Lisa Elle G so much & she is the best photographer!!!!
We had the BEST experience working with Lisa! She captured the engagement and then had our engagement shoot! Best idea ever, total surprise to me! She was so sweet, fun, and professional. We got sneak peak photos super quick and we were SO IMPRESSED with how they turned out! My favorite pictures ever were taken by her!
