This month we are so excited to be shining our photographer spotlight on Elena of Elena Streeter Photography. Elena is a portrait photographer based in Bountiful, Utah. She loves working with families, high school seniors, and female entrepreneurs. When not doing all things photography-related, you can find her spending time with her family, reading a good book, or enjoying a bar of dark chocolate.
How would you describe your photography? My photography style is bright, colorful and emotional.
What made you want to join The Gold Hope Project as a volunteer? I was looking for an organization where I could give back to the community and support families and especially children because I believe that families are the most important people in our lives and I wanted to support those that needed extra joy in their life.
What is your favorite thing about being a Gold Hope photographer? My favorite things about being a part of this organization are meeting the families and kids, watching family relationships unfold in front of me, and seeing how much they love and treasure each day together.
Has working with children with cancer changed anything in your life? For sure it has. I see their strength and resilience and walk away from each session with a feeling of hope for the better in this world even during the hardest times.
What is one thing you hope the families you photograph for the project can take away from this experience? I hope I can create photos that will show families and children as true, happy, and authentic selves. I hope I can preserve memories families create together, capture the smiles and laughter of siblings, and the love parents and little warriors have for each other.
