"We would  just love to feature you, your work in the MPLS fashion industry, hear more about your style and inspirations..and just feature the talent that is Eliesa!!!!"

These are the words that came along in an e-mail a few months ago and of course I was more than happy to meet the lovely Kate and Molly of To Each Their Own.  This is a lovely fashion blog, focusing on fashion in the Midwest! Apparently these two sisters fell in LOVE with the November issue of Metro and they flew in from Chicago and Arizona to meet with me!

I'm very honored and humbled to be featured on not only photography, but my outlook on the Minneapolis fashion scene as well! What a treat!

I'm super happy with how the article turned out - CHECK IT OUT HERE!



Special THANKS to Kate and Molly for a fabulous afternoon and great conversation!

Here's to Fashion!

The 2nd annual Keepers Awards are out in the January issue of Metro Magazine!

The essence of this award is to honor 8 amazing artist (actors, musicians, dancers, etc) who are doing big things and that Minneapolis also wants to 'keep' in the city! When I got the assignment, I really wanted to focus on straight up portraits of these people. No bullshit, just a striking portrait. Take a peek at a preview of the article below + unpublished portraits of all the winners!

Brock Davis: Ad Man
Taja Will: Dancer
Monica Haller: Photographer / Writer

WOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!

I am SUPER excited to share with you all the launch of my first book!!

It's been on my goal list for a while now to create a coffee table book and it really started out as a personal project for myself. I am a huge believer in creating something with your images. When we live in an age of computers and iphones, every image seems to stay on a machine. I love prints, canvas, albums and - alas - books!  As I started talking about this project, I started noticing an interesting response...people actually wanted to see it!

The [Film] Book features images from my film cameras over the last year. You all know how passionate I am about film, so this is very special to me! I also wanted to share my thoughts in the book so I chose to do so through quotes. I'm a big quote-girl, if you couldn't tell, and I thought there was no better way to inspire than to use references that you can take with you on a daily basis!

So, without further adieu...

I present to you...

The [Film] Book
