I'm your typical middle aged, young at heart friend just having a good time through life. I'm a little awkward, a little chubby, totally down to earth and moderately funny. I'm also a photographer based in Elizabethtown, KY but travel all over the country. Proud and overwhelmingly grateful to be a full time photographer since 2012.
I’m not going to tell you much about me behind the camera. I hope it’s easy to tell that I eat.sleep.breathe photography and am pretty obsessed with it! That’s really not what I’m best at anyway.
I’m great at making you relax, at talking, understanding, and absorbing the moment. I ‘get’ you. It doesn’t matter if we are celebrating your 1st birthday, or your 90th – I can see through the chaos and embrace what’s beautiful. And that’s you. It’s your children, your family, your environment. And I’m best at just being me, just like you are at being you.
Other things: I have two dogs, no kids, a bald husband in tow. I'm obsessed with hummingbirds, planting flowers and a good bathrobe. We spend a large portion of our time travelling, or planning our next big adventure. Thankful for a career that let's me do all the things.
I'm just looking to have a laugh out loud kind of time with you too. Let's get together, do something fun.

I’m out of the country for a week, but before I go - I’m so excited to share a creative art piece I did for the upcoming art auction for @silverleafservices This is only available for bidding live at the auction, (11X14 framed) so we’d love for you to come! There’s tons of info on their page.
“Revival in Color”
A bold declaration of resilience, Revival in Color embodies the transformation of pain into power. Deep magenta hues, both organic and fluid, symbolize wounds that have not only healed but have become part of a masterpiece. Interwoven among the blooming flowers, paintbrushes—dipped in rich, dripping color—serve as tools of reclamation, turning grief into creation and silence into expression. The hands, stained yet steady, hold both beauty and defiance, a testament to survival. Etched on the wrist, a quiet yet powerful symbol speaks to a journey that cannot be erased—a mark not of what was lost, but of what was reclaimed. This piece is a reminder that healing is not just survival, but a revival—one painted in courage, artistry, and unyielding vibrancy.
Hi, friends!
I’m a few weeks into my annual cozy winter hiatus—a much-needed break from work and social media—but I wanted to pop in to say hi and sprinkle a little love onto your feed. 💛
Today is my 43rd birthday! If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s this: love always wins. And with that in mind, I want to remind you that my platforms will always be a safe and inclusive space for everyone. I don’t care who you love, where you’re from, how you identify, what lights up your soul, or which outfits make you feel amazing—this is a place where you are seen, valued, and celebrated. If you’re a kind soul who finds beauty in the everyday and believes that connection, nature, love, diversity and emotion are some of life’s greatest gifts, then we’re already kindred spirits. ❤️
Looking ahead, my 2025 calendar will be ready to book toward the end of February, and I’ll start welcoming new clients for the upcoming year. While I am handling a handful of time-sensitive sessions this winter, I’ll be back in full swing soon! Gift certificate holders, you’ll get first dibs on the booking calendar before it goes live on social media—keep an eye on your inbox for that link. If you’re interested in gifting someone a session, you can purchase a gift certificate on my website under “book”.
As always, you can find all my details on my website: www.elainajanes.com
For now, I’m wrapping myself in the coziest layers—a bathrobe, a blanket, and some snuggles from these sweet pups—and protecting my peace through the chilly winter days ahead. 🐾 I hope you, too, can carve out a little cozy time for yourself—it’s so needed and so deserved.
Sending love to all of you. I’ll see you soon. 💕
Happy days forever. My flower fields surprised me with a brand new bloom so this had to be done. 🌻
