about teren

I am so excited to follow your love story! My husband and I have been together a decade!! We’ll be married 10 years this November! Our love story began when my mom set us up on a blind date! We didn’t live in the same town but he worked at the same facility as her and when she pitched the idea to me she described him as having the prettiest eyes and said he was very genuine. Still, I almost canceled because she had also said he was just out of a relationship… lol! I was independent and skeptical! I didn’t cancel and we’ve been together ever since! We eloped to the courthouse (we have zero pictures!) And then escaped to Mexico for a small ceremony 6 months later! Our pictures from this are unedited, grainy photos! SO I am obsessed with capturing your day, however that looks, with all the details in mind!! 

My passion for photography started with the outdoors and motherhood! My husband, Dolph, is an avid fly-fisherman and overall sportsman. Living in the beautiful state of Wyoming, getting outside is so easy. In our early years I would go out fishing or scouting with him and when things got slow I would pick up his camera. The more I shot, the more I fell in love!! That love evolved once we had our THREE little girls! The practice they gave me is invaluable and is what ultimately led to Elsica, a mashup of all my girl's names and photography as a career for me! Just as the photos of my girls are so priceless to my family, I know how much these moments mean to you! I love capturing your love evolve from couples sessions, engagement, wedding, maternity to families! It is the greatest honor EVER! I love this job so much, I’m a perfectionist and I will do everything in my power to make YOUR session a dream session! I cannot wait to work with you! Thank you so much for being here!

Teren is awesome! She styled two different coordinating family outfits for us and she came so well prepared with cozy blankets for between shots on the chilly day. She also scoped out unique spots for the shoot on Casper Mountain ahead of time. It ended up being stormy, windy and cold the day we picked but she made it work beautifully! I’m amazed she got so many awesome shots and kept my family happy the whole time! It was effortless for us and we got so many amazing photos!

She is absolutely the sweetest! She was so patient with both my baby boys and got amazing photos. She has so many amazing ideas and poses. And no matter what my kids did she made the pictures work, can’t recommend her enough!!!!

Seriously!!! We were NOT wanting to even do engagement photos but Teren convinced me to let her take some and I couldn’t be more happy with the turnout! I am SO glad that Teren captured such joyful moments for us and can’t wait for the wedding pics. During the shoot it was 17 degrees out and blowing wind (I love WYO) yet the photos turned out seriously incredibly beautiful! 100% GO with Elsica Photography for anything you want to capture.

Teren is so great! She did some professional headshots and lifestyle salon photos for me recently. Her attention to detail was impeccable, when being photographed I’m always wondering if my hair looks weird, or my shirt isn’t laying right…etc… she totally pays attention to all of that and fixes everything as she goes. I could not be happier with the photos, she captured everything exactly how I wanted!
