ELI KOENNING
LIFESTLYLE
I love capturing timeless moments for people. Whether it be for memories, some decoration within the home, or a new post for social media. I’ve got you covered! I This includes, Family, Newborn, Maternity, Couples, Engagements, Elopements, and Self-Portraits.
Landscape
This is where my passion for photography all began. It was 2017 and I was living in Queenstown, New Zealand. I bought my first “new to me” DSLR camera and started learning very quickly. There are so many beautiful landscapes in NZ which made it an incredible place to start practicing photography.
LGBTQ+
Being apart of the LGBTQ+ community myself, I provide a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone. This is a hate free and judge free zone. ALL identities, body types, POC, and people with neuro differences are welcome, respected, and cherished.
lifestyle PHOTOGRAPHY & MORE
I remember first starting photography thinking I would never be good enough to take pictures for people. I stuck to nature for a while because it was relatively easy and came naturally to me. Once I started to branch out of that and onto people, I realized what I’ve been missing. The joy and happy tears I receive from clients is what drives me the most. Nothing is more rewarding!
Portfolio
Self – Portraits
I love to showcase your unique perspective, and create stunning visual representations of your identity and self-expression. Capturing the vulnerable and authentic essence of a person through a self-portrait is a truly captivating art form.
maternity
There’s nothing quite as fulfilling as capturing the radiant glow and intense emotions of a parent-to-be, and photographing maternity is the ultimate celebration of new life, love, and the miracle of creation.
newborn
A glimpse into the album of new life. The most precious tiny beans that make you swoon over every facial expression, sounds, and movements they make. I absolutely love photographing newborns!
Family
The laughter, smiles, and love that fills this album is incredibly heartwarming. Families are so unique and special. To be able to capture this for people gives me the greatest feeling!
Couples
Capturing the electric chemistry and intimate moments between two people is such a beautiful and uplifting experience, l love providing images that capture and accentuate their unique and dynamic bond.
engagement
As a photographer, there’s nothing quite like freezing that magical moment when two people decide to spend the rest of their lives together, and capturing the raw emotion and excitement of an engagement shoot is a true privilege.
Elopement
Elopements are like hidden gems in the world of wedding photography – intimate, adventurous, and unapologetically romantic, capturing the raw emotion and breathtaking scenery of an elopement is a dream come true for me.
landscapes
From the majestic peaks of snow-capped mountains to the serene stillness of a tranquil lake, photographing landscapes allows me to capture the awe-inspiring beauty of the natural world and share it with all of you!
About eli
Growing up, I had quite a few passions. Newborns, Traveling, and Photography. Little did I know all three of these passions would soon tie together and create something incredible. My teenage years were spent babysitting, and nannying. In 2016, not long after I turned 18, I was off to start my travel journey in Sydney, Australia. I lived there for about a year until I moved to Queenstown, New Zealand for 6 months. It was there that I bought my first second hand DSLR camera. Between working full time as a computer sales person, making friends, and learning how to snowboard, it was hard to find time to explore all of the beauty the south island has to offer. I didn’t get to see as much as I would’ve liked, but I am grateful for everything I did get to see and photograph. I came home to Calgary in 2018, got back into nannying full time, and started focusing more on newborn photography. From there, I started doing a little bit of family style photography too. My nanny kids were great models! Soon after, I was doing all kinds of photography for people therefor bringing me here; creating my website and starting up a professional business. I am still a full time nanny by day, and photographer by night (and weekends). But my ultimate goal is to take hotography full time. I am greatly looking forward to all the future adventures!
