One of the first photographs I ever sold…and one of my favorites.  I love The Big Guy’s handiwork here.  Maybe you will, too.

NOLA: The Land of Booze and Beads (and Surprising Beauty)

March 15, 2013 by Elle Grant | 0 Comments

While on a recent trip to New Orleans, I had the pleasure of not only partaking in *the best* raw oysters I’ve ever had (Thanks Acme!), but also of visiting a plantation.  While the city certainly has its charms, so does the country…

Iconic Florida: Sun, Sand, Saltwater, and Plastic Pink Flamingos

August 2, 2012 by Elle Grant | 0 Comments

When you think of Iconic Florida, images of the space shuttle, oranges, and Mickey Mouse may come to mind.  Residents of Florida may also envision Brazillian tourists and Snow Birds clogging up the roads.  When I think of Florida, our beloved beaches come to mind.  Our beaches and plastic, pink birds.  Pretty much like this:

I like these guys.  I mean, you would never find them in my yard, but they certainly make for good company on early morning sunrise shoots like this one.  There is, of course, a story that goes along with this shoot, but I think I’ll save that for another time.  I will tell you that it does involve a crab, a textbook moonlighting as a hammer, and a few choice words not appropriate for mixed company…

Key West, Florida: No Need to Leave Home Without Your Walking Shoes and a Boat

July 17, 2012 by Elle Grant | 0 Comments

Key West.  Home to authors, artists, alcoholics.  A great place to kick back, relax, and take in the sights.  While there isn’t a sweet beach to speak of, the water is warm, the streets are crowded, and the scenery is hot.  I’ll spare you the documented evidence I have of this, but instead, I’ll leave you with these.

Five Reasons Why Sunrise Shoots are Worth the Effort

November 29, 2011 by Elle Grant | 1 Comment

I have a confession.  I am a List Lover.  Lists are fabulously handy, and while they’re not to be used for absolutely everything, they can be helpful.  For example, lists are wonderful for more efficient grocery store trips, lighter island-vacation luggage, organizing what falls under “Quarter-Life Crisis” symptoms and cures, deciding if that person is worth the drive across the state…you know, the usual stuff.

So, in honor of our most recent “Don’t Be Shy” photograph, we have…a list.

Five Reasons Why Sunrise Shoots are Worth the Effort:

5.  Even gas station coffee tastes good at that time of day…and that level of exhaustion.

4.  There are roughly four other kindred spirits up that early, and they are all amazingly friendly.

3.  Early mornings like those are conducive to morning naps…which are simply wonderful.

2.  Aside from the ocean, it’s oh so quiet.

1.  Scenes like these:
