I was practically raised on The Crocodile Hunter and Bindi the Jungle Girl, which nurtured a lifelong love for nature. Growing up in an Australian–Persian household, I was surrounded by family and friends from many cultures, shaping the way I see the world; with curiosity, openness, and deep appreciation for difference. 

I trained in ballet and contemporary dance with a pre-professional company for seven years. That foundation shaped my eye for movement, balance, and the delicate tension between softness and the avant-garde.

I’m endlessly drawn to travel; you’ll usually find me planning my next trip abroad. I love experiencing unfamiliar landscapes, discovering new foods, and meeting people whose lives and stories differ from my own. 

I recently married my best friend in May of 2025! Building a life together has been the sweetest season, full of gratitude and quiet joy. Our wedding day was thoughtfully captured by Glorify Photo Company.

Capturing love stories is a privilege I never take for granted. Every glance, laugh, and tender moment reminds me why I love this work!

G'day,

I'm Elayna!

I am pursuing studies in music and intercultural studies at Indiana Wesleyan University, with aspirations toward ethnomusicology. My work is guided by a curiosity for how culture evolves through sound, ritual, and shared expression.

I am a cinematic-editorial wedding photographer drawn to bespoke, multicultural celebrations and stories. Influenced by Fujifilm photographers throughout East Asia, my work leans into glowing light, deep greens, serene minimalism, and candid moments. 

I'd love to get to know you!
