Profile
I want to personally thank you for visiting élan Imaging.

My work is my passion, and it shows in every aspect of the élan Imaging experience. Clients relish the personal attention I give to them and treasure the timeless images of their portraits and weddings that I capture.

My mission is to capture the joy and pride that accompanies the precious moments in your life, whether it is your son's first steps or walking your daughter down the aisle. I want to help you remember this unique time in your life with beautiful portraits or by documenting a special event in your life!

My goal is to bring out your true personality and make you feel as comfortable as possible!

I would be honored to be your photographer!

On a more personal note:
I am originally from Montana, where I was born and raised. I attended the University of Montana (Go Grizzlies), where I earned my degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing and Management. I met my husband at the University of Montana. After graduation we moved to San Antonio, Texas together so he could attend law school at St. Mary's University.

I started doing photography professionally over four years ago and I have never looked back. I could not image myself being in any other profession! I love what I do and enjoy meeting a lot of unique people. I have met many great wedding vendors and clients whom have become friends.

I have worked several years for two very well known photographers in the San Antonio wedding industry. I started my own business venture over two years ago with Photography by Teresa back in 2006. I had been searching for that "perfect" business name and finally decided on élan Imaging.

élan is pronouced (a-län') which means: Enthusiastic, Distinctive and Liveliness. All of which fit my personality and photography style perfectly.

élan Imaging will continue to offer the same outstanding customer service and distinctive style. I enjoy making my portrait sessions and weddings fun and a lasting memory.

Thank you to everyone who has encouraged me to do what I love to do and gave me the strength and courage in myself to go out and do it!

I couldn't be more blessed with this opportunity and talent that I have been given!

Community involvement
I feel it is important to be a part of your community! I volunteer my skills for several organizations in San Antonio. Artgives.org is an organization that is dedicated to keeping art in our children's education. I also volunteer at the Humane Society taking pictures of the many animals needing homes, to help get them adopted.

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep
I have recently signed up to donate my services to an organization called: Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep. This is a way to share my talents with my community and to help a family create a lifetime of memories, in only moments. I provide my time in order to help families begin to heal their broken hearts. The death of an infant happens more than anybody cares to talk about. I donate my time and services to helping families who are experiencing the loss of an infant, and provide them with images that will last them for a life time to help them remember their precious angels that visited them on this earth for such a short period of time.

This is a very emotional time in a family’s life that we are documenting and it is very hard to see the pain and sorrow that these families are going through, but its well worth it to give that family a lasting image of their child to be remembered by!

Testimonials
Thank you Teresa for your professional support and commitment to help ArtGives.Org document this years' Shakespeare in The Park event. It was a real pleasure to work with you. You have a very creative eye and a natural talent for capturing the moment. We greatly appreciate your contribution to help support arts education in San Antonio.

On behalf of ArtGives.Org, we look forward to working with you again and wish you the best in all of your endeavors.

Keep up the great work!
