Photography nut, pretty much always dressed in black (I dress for the weather) and your biggest photography advocate.  

For over 13 years, I’ve provided unforgettable photography experiences to business people to create awe-inspiring photos – the kind of photos that make you want to say, "Is that really ME?!"

I make REAL people look REALLY good.

Hi, I'm Elenora

If you don’t remember anything past this point, THIS is what I really want you to recall: I am able to effectively make everyone - even the most reluctant, camera-shy subjects – feel confident and comfortable in front of my lens AND look great. My promise to you: you WILL feel amazing and your photos will reflect that. (Check out my reviews for proof!) 

1. I MAKE REAL PEOPLE LOOK REALLY GOOD

Whether it’s a simple headshot or a full day of shooting your team, my contagious excitement and sense of humour will rub off on you and your group; you’ll get a happy dance from me that will uplift you and your people. Our session together will be FUN and your smiles genuine.

2. I'M FUN (BUT STILL PROFESSIONAL)

If I can teach Romeo and Juliet to a class of 45 Grade 10 students – 5 girls, the rest boys (true story) – and have them wanting more, I can handle the needs of your particular photography session. I’m no stranger to efficiency, organization, time management, planning, support, communication and people skills, making everyone feel at ease while we work towards an end-goal.  

3. I WAS A HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH TEACHER

As pretty much the youngest in a very large Italian family and having a large family of my own (4 kids, the youngest being twins), I have the experience of knowing what everyone aged 0-99 wants and needs. I can see things from multiple perspectives ... and will be your experienced guide as we factor those "lenses" into your particular session so that everyone can be happy. 

4. I AM "SEASONED"  ;) 

In fact, a client once suggested I change the name of the business to “We Get $hit Done”, but JEMMAN will do. Your shot list? We’re going to smash it and still have time to spare. 

5.  I GET SHIZ DONE

The time I caught on fire... And kept shooting

Elenora’s clothing caught on fire on the floating candles that lined the aisle as she bent down to photograph the bride as she made her entrance. Elenora beat the flames out with one hand WHILE PHOTOGRAPHING THE BRIDE with her other hand. 

Elenora didn’t make a sound, never taking away from Eric + Kristen’s “moment”. Everyone was oblivious, except for the groomsmen behind Elenora who didn’t know what to do! She carried on photographing the ceremony (and the rest of the day) like nothing had ever happened. We’re just sorry we didn’t record it!"

The time I broke my toe... And kept shooting

Elenora is amazing … This woman broke her toe at the beginning of our big day and continued to work until late late into the evening! This is just the type of professionalism you get when you work with Elenora."
