My name is Kailie. I’m 28 years old, a self-taught photographer, adventurer, and proud dog mom. I started capturing photos in 2017, I enjoyed the fact that I was able to capture memories that could be cherished in the future to come. I started my photography business to help others that are seeking photoshoots on a budget. I seek to help others, rather than to make a large profit. I cherish everyone I come across. My goal is to make every photo shoot as comfortable and fun, as I can.

Chelsea Carrizales Photography

  • Serves Erie, MI

I grew up in a small, rural town in Southern Michigan where I married my high school sweetheart. I first dabbled in photography in high school but perfected my craft while living on a Marine base in California where my husband was stationed. It was here that I was able to capture special moments for friends who became family and those wanting memories to last forever. I have since moved back to my hometown, where I raise my two beautiful daughters with my husband. Quickly, I learned that weddings are my passion in photography and I want to continue to help others capture the best day of their life! I simply love love!

Chelsea did an amazing job. She was super accommodating and great to work with, and we love the way our pictures turned out!

Hi, I’m Taylor, the proud owner of Miles and Moments Photography! Born and raised in SE Michigan, I’ve always had a passion for capturing life’s most special moments. Whether it’s the vibrant colors of a sunset or the joy in someone’s smile, I strive to create timeless memories through my lens. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me exploring new places. With my bubbly personality and knack for making people laugh, I promise you’ll feel at ease and have fun during every shoot. My goal is simple: to make sure you feel comfortable, confident, and relaxed while we create beautiful photos together.

Taylor did our family photos and they turned out perfect! My kids and husband can be stubborn and do not like "fake" forced moments but Taylor's personality helped them feel at ease and everyone truly had a great time during our session. Kids were actually laughing and smiling, not just for the camera. Would recommend Taylor to anyone looking for a photographer.

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Awarded Best of Zola
Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.

I am a luxury destination photographer based in MICHIGAN, COLORADO & FLORIDA! I am ALL over Michigan and all over the nation! I have a home in Lansing, Holland & Traverse City. I travel all over Michigan capturing my clients from Lansing to Grand Rapids to the west coast of Lake Michigan to Mackinac Island & Traverse City to all metro Detroit! I have a second home in Vail/Summit County, CO as well as Clearwater Beach/Tampa. This allows me to be local to multiple places and states! This career is so much more than just showing up and taking photos. It's emotion, it's detail, it's getting to know my clients and capturing each of them uniquely.

Awarded Best of Zola
From first contact to wedding day, I am so happy to have chosen Elle and Co. and specifically Dani.  I couldn't be happier with communication, energy, and direction while taking photos.  Our Colorado elopement was beautiful and Dani helped with every step including finding a wonderful spot.  She kept us updated on weather and timeline so we had nothing to worry about and even hyped us up beforehand.  During my boudoir shoot she made extra effort to make me comfortable since I've never done anything like that before.  The pictures were so good and made the perfect wedding day gift for my new hubby.  Highly recommend Elle and Co. to anyone who has photography needs but especially if you think you might want to elope to a gorgeous spot and do a private event or if you want to take some boudoir type photos for a special gift.  She goes above and beyond with everything she does and you can't do better.  Thanks Dani!!

We are a husband and wife, photo + video duo based in Michigan. We got married in May of 2019 and started capturing special moments in 2020. In 2023 we welcomed our miracle baby, Henry, after 18+ months of infertility. If there is one thing that becoming parents has taught us, it is how fast time truly flies and how important it is to freeze each moment, bringing even more meaning and passion to this little biz of ours. When we aren't behind the camera, we are soaking in every memory with our boy and our wild animals at home. It is such a blessing to us, that you are here. We can't wait to meet you!

We highly recommend this fabulous duo for photography and videography. Don’t hold back on adding videography, you won’t be disappointed. We felt like a priority and never felt rushed throughout the whole process. The engagement photo shoot was a fun experience in itself, they both seemed to genuinely have fun finding good shots which made it that much more enjoyable, even on a cold day. With the package we got an engagement video as well, literal tears first time watching. Magical. Not to mention everything they captured from the actual wedding day. Heather and Jordan made everything so seamless and stress free. Heather then took wonderful maternity on a windy day on Lake Michigan and then capture our little girl a few weeks later. Highly recommend!
