Hey, there! My name is Elaine Gray and I’m a professional photographer based in West Michigan. My life revolves around what I call my “6 F’s” which are: Faith, Family, Friends, FurBabies, Food and Fun. When I’m not working, you can usually find me scrolling through Insta in search of delicious food and cute puppy pics or blanket burrito-ing on my couch enjoying a classic rom-com or novel.
Here are a few other Fun Facts about me:
• I’ve been happily married for 23 years and have 2 amazing daughters and 4 amazing fur babies.
• Some of my favorite things (besides photography) are God, family, our cats and dogs, Jane Austen, food, new technology and reading on the beach.
• I almost always cry when photographing births and weddings.
• I love laughing and probably laugh 200% more than the average person per day. It’s what keeps me sane and I find so much joy in being silly and laughing with my family and friends.
• I HATE exercise and the only reason I do it is to maintain my status as a foodie and to reach my goal of hiking the Inca Trail and climbing to the top of Machu Picchu someday.
• My favorite scents are Chinatown in NYC, kitten + puppy breath, lavender, rose, southern magnolias and a nicely marbled ribeye steak on a flaming hot grill.
• Future goals include volunteering at a baby rescue somewhere in the world, becoming a beach bum, and eating my way around the globe.
• My most used emojis are “crying laughing face,” “heart eyes,” and “praise hands”.
