Hi, I am Laura Ellavsky.
I am based out of St. Cloud, MN. My first love in photography is End-Of-Life Sessions, or Celebration-Of-Life Sessions for people and their companion animals. This is what got me into photography. I offer Celebration-Of-Life sessions in combination with or independent of my companion animal doula work. Check that out here: https://www.goodsoulsendoflifedoula.com/.
Beyond photography, I am also a stay at home mom, death doula, and founder of The Central Mn Rainbow Bridge Memorial Garden project.
My style is lifestyle/documentary. You will find a lot of "candids" in my galleries- I'll definitely do some posing, but I love to capture the most authentic version of my clients; and that's usually when you're looking at or doing something else. The realest, most authentic you is the most beautiful! Because so much of my online presence is based on animals- I always get asked if I work with families/kids- YES! I love to work with families but you won't find many pictures of children on my website or social media pages because I have adopted the policy I use in my personal life: that is children really can't give consent to have their pictures used online. I am not going to put them at risk by using them for marketing. Please reach out- I would love to get to know you and your story.
Take good care,
Laura
