We have been in business for over 19 years combined. Elysia started her business in southern Illinois and Jim in central Indiana. We are the heart and soul of business and are both full time Photographers. Together we are nationally published and award-winning duo that loves to create and inspire. We have four children combined, 3 girls and one boy and when we are all together you can probably hear us laughing for miles.
We love the fun and spontaneity that polaroids play in our lives and you will find them all throughout our house and offices. Jim says: Elysia is an amazing, inspirational, talented and loving woman who loves to bring a smiles and happiness to others lives. She is an amazing mother, Photographer and an extremely talented artist.

If you’re looking for talented professionals who will go above & beyond on your pictures, book Jim & Elysia ASAP! We can’t say enough good things about our experience with these two! Not only did they drive 4.5 hours each way to shoot our wedding, they captured so many moments we will cherish forever! Jim & Elysia have the personalities to make you feel comfortable & make the pictures so much fun! After rescheduling & changing the wedding plans 3 times this year, they were so sweet and accommodating to make things work perfectly!
These two were easily one of our best decisions when wedding

We had Jim and Elysia take our wedding pictures and were so happy that we now have them take our son's pictures too (and maternity photos). So grateful we've found such great and dedicated photographers to take pictures of all of our big and special moments. They're so flexible and patient which is SO amazing when getting pictures of little ones. They're also so fun and always looking to find unique pictures to make your photos perfect for what you're looking for!

I can't say enough great things about our experience with Jim and Elysia. We have used their services to photograph our daughter's sports team for the last three seasons. Our experience was outstanding. They worked so well with each individual player, and had such a creative vision for our photo shoot. Their attention to detail was incredible, with the various poses, use of equipment, etc. And the final product blew us all away. We shared the team picture on Facebook and everyone was so impressed and asked who had taken the pictures. Friendly, easy to work with, detailed professionals. Will use

Jim and Elysia were absolutely the best photographers we could have asked for! They captured our entire wedding day so perfectly. Our signature photo's they took from them are absolutely breathtaking. Every single photo we received from them (and we received a ton!) looked beautiful and better then I could even imagine. Not only were the picture absolutely fantastic both Jim and Elysia were fantastic to deal with. They went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect and make our day less stressful. I absolutely recommend them for any wedding or any occasion.

I can't say enough great things about Jim and Elysia or their photos! They have been taking by daughter's pictures for the past 3 years. My daughter competes in pageants and she has won photogenic multiple times with one of the headshots from Jim & Elysia. Because of their great work with her pageant head shots, my daughter wanted them to take her senior pictures which were nothing short of amazing! They even traveled to our hometown to take the perfect shots at her school. They think outside the box to make sessions unique and extraordinary. My daughter has informed them that they have to take
