Hi, I am Elizabeth Stupke.
My love for photography started at an early age but developed during my college years. Since 2014 I’ve had the honor to create magical memories for many friends, family and clients. To so many, a picture is worth a million words. So many humans can take a picture but only few can create a story from it. Personally speaking, what lays behind a story is a whole lot of passion. With passion comes hours of nonstop editing, never ending coffee, and a whole lot of sleepless nights.
When I create memories I put myself in my clients place. If I received this photograph would I like it? I ask that question every moment prior to sending out any galleries. So if you wonder whether my work is worth it, I can tell you every piece of art captured and edited is created with care and passion.
A few little facts about me...
(Written by a friend and fellow photographer) El has one of the largest hearts of anyone I know. She truly cares about anyone and everyone she meets. Her clients are very special to her and she makes them feel that way. She often goes out of her way to help make things work to the clients best interest. During a photo shoot she does what ever she needs to do to get the best shot. (Trust me ... I saw her squat in a pond to get and amazing shot even though she ended up soaked and had to ride over an hour home in my jeep, (soaking wet.) She is a coffee addict, a good friend, and a great photographer. I would highly recommend her to you. You will not be disappointed.
Fun facts
- I grew up in the country on a little farm. I once dreamed of being a jockey. Once I hit 5 foot one I released my dream wasn't going to work out too well.
- I found my love for photography during a film a class. I had been working in the Mac-Lab for 3 days straight and I was carrying my little rebel camera back to my room at midnight when I saw the most beautiful yet strangest thing to see during the month of December. There was a beautiful golden leaf (the last one) lying in the parking lot. That image changed my perspective completely and at that moment I realized I loved photography.
- The camera I use is my 5D mark iii. It was my firstborn. At least until I had my actual babies (haha).
- My favorite color is MAROON.
- My first concert was Shania Twain. Still love her music to this day.
- My pregnancy was so difficult that the doctors were scared I would lose my baby. It was then I found out I had pre-eclampsia. At this point in my journey I still had weddings scheduled. My last one was at 9 months. I struggled but captured that last wedding and ended up having my little Scarlet 2 days following. Like I said, I put everything into my work.
- I've photographed King & Country, Colton Dixon, Tenth Avenue North, Switchfoot, Jordan Feliz, Newsboys, Natalie Grant, etc. Over 30 artists to be honest and it was so surreal. I love photographing artists and dream of capturing more of their performances.
- We adopted "Waffles" are cat in 2021.
- Love iphones- APPLE in general. Hubby has an android though...
- I have over 6 cameras.
