Mini bio

How it started.

Elise grew up on a dude ranch in Wyoming’s mountains. A childhood trip to Hawaii sparked her interest in places beyond home. During and after college, seasonal jobs let her spend longer stretches exploring new places. She studied geography and environment and natural resources at the University of Wyoming.

Finding her audience.

Her @roundtheworldgirl photographs connected her with fellow travelers and potential clients. Johnny Jet featured her account in 2016, and Adobe partnered with her in 2018 to share Lightroom presets and editing ideas alongside Eric Rubens and Alivia Latimer.

Life in the mountains.

Elise’s commercial work includes a Stio winter shoot, and she photographed FREESKIER’s 2026 Gear Lab in Jackson Hole. Her wedding work brings the same mountain setting into couples’ stories, with ski weddings, Teton elopements and guides drawn from her local experience.
