Meet the Photographer

Hey, my name is Ela Kallonen.

I’ve worked across advertising, startups, and film, but photography is where my heart is. My creative background shapes the way I shoot, thoughtful, story-driven, and artistic. I love collaborating to bring ideas to life and capture beautiful, meaningful moments.

Excited to work together.

Lifestyle family photography capturing natural interaction and connection

If you are looking for a photographer who will listen to what you are going for, is open to trying new things, and overall an amazing person, Ela is the one! She made our very first couples shoot such a great experience — from cracking jokes to break the awkwardness, to sheer professionalism, Ela does not disappoint. She made us feel comfortable and safe, and she even came prepared with a vision board from our initial chats, which helped the flow of the session as well. She truly cares about her clients and their experience. I have found my photographer for life!
