Elaine A. Rhoades, CPP

Bio

I fell in love with photography 30 years ago when I learned to capture the special moments of my children's lives. While taking classes, I would make a game out of modeling for mommy. Today my 4 children automatically pose for the quickest family portraitures on earth. When I was not photographing my children, I was photographing everything.

I spent 11 years partnered with Michelle McCauley (BS in Fine Art) as owners of Picture Me Studio in Princeton, MA concentrating on local family, groups and business photography needs. My work has been shown at the Pheasant-on-the-Run Art Gallery, Chatham Arts Gallery in Pittsboro, NC, in many family living rooms and has been used in brochures, newspapers, websites, and in Readers Digest.

Now in Pittsboro, North Carolina a new adventure begins. Partnered Bill Lahtinen, we are working to offer unique images to our clients - by appointment only. The new studio is complete and we are focusing on the art aspects of photography as well as portraits and photographing artwork for artists.

Digital imaging and advancements in printing technologies has created a new excitement in photography with a whole new level of control over images.

Fortunately, I have had many opportunities to capture the beauty in the ordinary, the extraordinary, the amazing and the wonderful. I hope you enjoy my work and the guest artists I have asked to share their work.

Thank you for stopping by.
