• Eilas Photography

  Eilas is a name inspired by my two beautiful children: Eisley and Silas.
  Photography has been a lasting passion in my life. Beginning at age 15, it was the only thing I wanted to do.
  I finished photography school in 2003 just before the birth of our first child and from then on I knew that I wanted to photograph children and their families.
  I LOVE what I do and love being a small part of my client's lives in creating memories for them.
  I am a native Tennessean and live in Franklin with my amazing husband and our crazy kids.
  Thank you for spending a little time on my blog.

• What To Expect

  What I love most about photography is capturing unplanned moments.
  I don't pose people or use fancy props.
  I usually ask that my clients just ignore me completely and interact with each other.
  I don't have big equipment or assistants, just me and my camera.
  I work on location, outdoors, at whatever interesting or pretty spots I can find.
  I'm up for anything, so if you have any interesting ideas or favorite spots, let me hear it!

Treehouse!!

Monday, August 29, 2011

For those of you who don’t know how amazing my husband it, here is a glimpse.

He has almost single-handedly remodeled our house, room by room, over the last 7 years.

We still have a few more projects in the house, but he was persuaded to work outside this time on a treehouse for our kids.

I always wanted a treehouse as I was growing up and never got the chance to have one, so when he told our kids last year that he would build one for them, I made him deliver on that promise!

It took him a bit longer than expected because he is a perfectionist and a beautiful designer, so it evolved as he built it.

But, the end result was definitely worth it. The kids are thrilled and I am so proud of him.

I documented the process with my iphone, but took some final photos with my good camera, both at night and daytime.

Enjoy!

Buying more wood for the project.

Painting!

And the final shots!
