Elsa Sainz Photography

As I was making this post tonight, the first thing I wrote down was "Happy monday to everyone!" and as the photos were loading I asked my self.."wait is it monday?!" ..turns out its thursday 😂🤔 lol thats how busy my life is right now and even tho I feel like I am doing way better at keeping up with messages and life in general, I am still a little behind on answering comments, posting sessions daily, I promise I am working non stop and so hard, and mostly trying to focus on sending out finished galleries

I have had lots of people ask me when I will do beach sessions again, so I am thinking of MAYBE doing beach sessions this weekend coming up and the week of labor day in the area of Myrtle beach, I THINK August 30- Sep 7 (not confirmed yet the exact date)! Any one interested can message me for more details!!! I think I might be doing them as natural sessions with natural editing, that way yall can have 20 images instead of just the 4 included in my mini sessions! There will also be an option to buy the FULL gallery!!!! Sooo EXCITED!!! Make sure to message me to reserve a spot! I will post more details in the next days!!

**I will also have a few spots for maternity beach sessions

Happy belated birthday to this little doll!! Seems like yesterday I got to photograph her beautiful mommy when she was pregnant with her, and now time flew by and she is a little young princess!!!

Beautiful aqua blue and gold colors for one of my all time favorite and longest time clients

A very special and very girly maternity session for a beautiful family who is getting ready to add another little princess to their household!

Nothing more beautiful than white sets!!! Just so classic, pure and perfect!

Happy Weekend to everyone!!

This session was definitely one of my ALL time favorite sessions I have worked on!!! Everything about it was just sooo beautiful to me... the glowing moon, the teal colors, the water scenery, and most of all this super sweet glowing mommy

**SPECIAL OFFER FOR PAST CLIENTS WHO HAVE DONE OUTDOOR SESSIONS WITH ME**

When I announced a few days ago that im going to start offering natural/color enhanced sessions soon with the option to buy FULL galleries, I got a lot of messages of people asking me if they could buy their full galleries from sessions they have done with me in the past , and the answer is yes!!! I have HUNDREDSSSSSSS of sessions from now till 2018!!!!

If you have done an outdoor session with me any time in the last 6 years, theres a 99% chance that I still have your full unedited gallery in storage...so instead of having to buy fully edited images for $70 EACH image which is what I charge for each extra image in my fully edited mini sessions, I am doing an offer right now that all my past clients can purchase their WHOLE galleries for $299, most galleries that I send yall to be able to choose your images range from 40-100+ images, so thats an amazing offer for you all to keep so many memories forever

This long break from social media allowed me to fully focus on getting my life in order, catching up with so much editing/galleries, to be able to spend much needed time with my kids and family, work on my health, sleep better, and most of all it allowed me to create hundreds amazing images that I can't wait to share with you all! After what has been the hardest months of my life, I am starting to feel little by little a bit like my self again and I feel the motivation to push thru anything life brings my way and finally get back to doing what I love

I am so excited to share with you a new service I will be adding to my website!!!
Thru the years SO many clients always ask if they can purchase all the gallery of all the unedited images we took during the session, and unfortunately I have never been able to offer that option!
I PRIDE myself in my detailed, magical, carefully and fully edited portraits...images that take me HOURS to carefully edit and most of the time I edit into magical settings.....BUT looking over my galleries and after so much request from you guys, I came to the realization that I love my natural images so much as well, and that after so many years of practice, I feel like my poses, angles and lighting can make your images look SO beautiful without all the extensive editing....therefore allowing me to be able to give you guys way more images!

Hi everyone!

I can't believe after weekssssss of never ending edting 20+ hours per day, night and day, i am finally almost caught up! I only have a few more sessions till i catch up with sessions that were stressing me out sooo much and were a little overdue 🥲🥲🥲 thank you everyone for being sooo patient, kind, and amazing through this crazy past hard weeks I have, I def wouldn't have made it through without you all's support!! I will continue to push thru and make sure I can finish all the other sessions that are due in the next week or two, as soon as I send these last 4 sessions!

I am so in love with gold tones lately! I have some beautiful ideas, for start/ heaven/ godess themed photoshoots once Im back taking sessions!

I think it has officially been the longest period of time in my whole photography career that I havent made a post, but that changes today!!

OMG I have gotten sooo many messages asking me if I retired, if I shut down my photography bussiness, hurt my hand, etc, lol thank you all for your messages of concern, I promise I haven't fully retired and you guys will be seeing sooo many hundreds of beautiful sessions I have done these past months soon! I am at the busiest, craziest time in my life, and for a moment there I got super overwhelmed with so many things going on at once, all while I wasn't feeling my best health wise, so i decided to take a few months off not doing photoshoots or posting daily 🥲 I am taking a few more weeks of not doing photoshoots, till I am fully caught up with editing, organize my life and take a small break to rest, recover, recharge and be able to come back stronger than ever!

I hope everyone had a beautiful and relaxing weekend!!! Thank you to every single person that took a moment to send me messages of encouragement, support and love! I was so overwhelmed an so grateful to have read a lot of everyones stories and words of encouragement as a reply to my last stories this week talking about me being overwhelmed with life and work, you alls words gave me the push i needed to keep on going and pushing thru!! With that said ima do my best to get back to posting regularly, I am finally back from Texas from my husbands air force rgaduation, and i am on A MISSION to focus and send out galleries and editing thats due!! If you are watingin on your gallery, dont worry its almost there!!! thank you again, and i hope to get to reply to everyones swert messages very soon!

FUN FACT a lot of people don't know, I KNOW i post HUGE sets where the people in the images arent seen very closeup and thats because I love for all my clients to see all the amazing locations, sets, scenery and themes I can create for them...but I ALWAYS send clients a wide angle shot of the image I edited and also a closeup version, and most of the times ill do a few different versions too, some with water reflection edits, black and white edits, different crops, closeups and different colored images! I love to fill my clients finished galleries with lots of beautiful edits and also lots of diffent crops options and versions for when they want to print their images to display in their homes!

Did you all know that I don't only do "magical & elaborate" images? I always get messaged and get asked if I can do simple, classic backdrops for sessions, and the answer is YES! half my sessions I do people request and love more of the classic, vintage style with plain textured backdrops, and I LOVE to do those kind of sessions too! I think because its something new the whole magical sets, I get excited and post lots of those photos, but i 100% do images like this all the time! I loveeee this kind of sessions because 100% of the focus is on the pretty mommy , and she gets to shine in the image

A heavenly set for this beautiful mommy!!! Im always surprise how neutral/white tones can be so simple yet look sooooooo beautiful, they bring a peaceful, sweet, and romantic vibe to all the photos

My all time favorite backdrop from will forever be my angel/sky backdrop!

**ILL BE REPLYING TO MESSAGES AND EMAILS BY TOMORROW I PROMISE

I know you guys havent heard a lot from me latety, I can't remember the last time I posted a story, or a point in my life where I didnt post sneak peeks daily, lol But at this moment I am super focused on trying to hit editing deadlines, while living life as a military wife of two little ones! lol my DEEPEST respect to all you women who do the military life, it has def been a crazy, busy, past few weeks while my husband is at basic training, but I am still here trying to push thru it all!

Birthday sessions have quickly became some of my favorites shoots to do, but I just cant figure out the secret to how do all these gorgeous women keep looking younger and younger as they get older!!?! Just look at this beautiful Queen in red!

Happy belated birthday to one of my sassiest, cutest, most adorable clients!!!

I have been soooo busy lately and ran a little behind on post, but let me get back to things and start my daily post with this beautiful session in my favorite colors!!! Happy sweet 16 gorgeous girl!

When someone wants to do something cute/simple and girly for their birthday shoot, but ALSO they look like a princess and can rock that look as well!!!!!

How did we blink and out of no where our little 4 pound baby Charlie turned 6 ? Seeing our little ones grow so fast is def the most beautiful experience, but also the hardest one ... to realize life is so precious, so fast and every single moment, memory and experience counts SO much 🥲😫 I love you my handsome, funny, kind, one of a kind, silly, jokester, precious son

Happy birthday to this GORGEOUS girl!!!! I loveee when my clients have a vision for their shoot, bring new and beautiful outfits and just come thru with the hair, makeup, poses and all!!!! Cant wait to show you guys more from her session

Its always so challenging to figure out different and unique ways to use all of my props, but i truly love the results! The comment I get the most from all my clients is that they were soo excited to book me because of the different props i have for them to use!! These are alll sooooo expensive, the wings alone are like almost 2,000, but such a great investement for my clients
