Hello! Welcome!

Meet Elyse | Your Elmira, NY Maternity & Newborn Photographer

I’m Elyse, the photographer behind Little Luna Photography. I designed and created this studio with one real purpose; to offer expecting and new parents a space where they feel supported, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. With over 13 years of experience photographing maternity and newborn clients, I understand how vulnerable and fleeting this season can feel. My approach is gentle, guided, and incredibly intentional, allowing you to relax while I handle every detail.

Enjoy Some Fun Facts About Me!

  • I love coffee of all kinds… hot, cold, or iced.
  • I homeschool my three children! What a wild journey.
  • My family has a mini farm with ducks, 3 goats, and 4 miniature donkeys! I’ve always loved animals.
  • I also love traveling. I have been blessed to travel to Greece a few times and it has become my absolute favorite place on earth!

An Experience Built on Trust & Expertise

With nearly 14 years of training and experience, you can relax knowing you are in good hands. We are here to make your session as relaxing and memorable as possible.
