My name is Elif. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area with my husband Ed. We are the humans of two fluffball spaniels named Cody & Leela. We try to tackle life with lots of positivity, love, compassion as well as humor.

​

For the past 15 yrs we have been running a pretty successful daycare & preschool. This is where my photography journey began. As an added benefit I started taking pictures of the kids so the parents would see the little day to day moments that are all too fleeting with growing children. Eventually I upgraded my point and shoot camera to a more professional one. We had our first photo shoot with the kids.

​

It quickly became my passion. Little did I know back then how much photography would teach me, how it would enrich my life, and how perfectly it would enable me to capture the beauty and magic of life as well as give wings to my endless imagination. I fell in love with photography, and it changed my world forever.

I would love the opportunity to be your photographer.
