"The camera is the least important element in photography.”

WELCOME Thank you for stopping by! My name is Nadia El and I'm a mother, artist, and book lover in that order. I am a local photographer in Harrisonburg city, but when I’m feeling adventurous, you can find me snapping away in Northern Virginia. I have had the pleasure of freezing moments for my clients for over three years now. After completing graduate school in a completely unrelated field (GO DUKES!), my creativity and love for the arts became a tenacious itch I could no longer ignore. When I'm not behind a camera or nose deep in a book, I'm off exploring the world with my loving husband, Ash, and fabulous daughter, Lou.
