Get To Know Me

am the owner and photographer of E. Benecki Photography. I love capturing life's most beautiful moments.

My interest in photography began 14 years ago during a challenging time when my husband was deployed. I wanted to capture every precious moment of our family’s lives for him, so I picked up my camera and began immersing myself in photography. Now with over 10 years of experience behind the lens, I'm dedicated to creating timeless memories through photography.

As a mother of four, I know how precious these moments are and how quickly time flies. I love capturing the beginnings of motherhood and the tiny, fleeting moments of a newborn. Time passes quickly, and before you know it, your little ones are all grown up.

I want to be your photographer and I can't wait to hear from you to schedule your maternity or newborn session.

I'm Beth

A snapshot into my life

My #1 favorite thing to do is to spend time with my family. I've been married for 17 years and we have 4 awesome children, two boys and two girls. Could I be any luckier? We enjoy spending time together by taking vacations in our RV (usually to national parks), going on nature hikes, playing board games, and learning new photography skills.

Family

My Favorite Things

I enjoy spending my free time in the outdoors, weather permitting. Sometimes, after dropping the kids off at school, I'll hop on my road bike and go for a short 10-mile ride. Each year my husband and I try to participate in the Viking Tour in Poulsbo. It's usually the 30-mile ride, but someday we'll do the 60-mile one.
Another favorite outdoor activity I enjoy during the winter months is snow skiing. A few years ago when we first moved to the PNW the family decided to learn how to ski so that we could continue enjoying the outdoors. I love the smell of the crisp mountain air, the pristine white slopes, and the snow covered pine trees. Whether I'm out on my road bike or on the mountain side in a pair of skis, being outdoors is my happy place.

outdoor recreation

My husband and I love to travel and go on photography adventures. These trips give us the chance to capture stunning landscapes and wildlife, from Yellowstone's snowy winter scenes to Alaska's majestic mountains and Kodiak bears. Recently, we traveled to India, where we photographed Bengal tigers, elephants, lots of monkeys, and the mesmerizing Taj Mahal.

Traveling

Beth was absolutely amazing with my son! He was almost 6 weeks old and she was very patient with him. I would definitely recommend her for all your newborn picture needs!

Our in-home newborn photography session was beyond any expectations I could've imagined. Elizabeth brought all the props and equipment in clean, organized containers. She had a detailed plan for our photo shoot, but graciously allowed time for feeding / diaper changes / snuggles with our sweet new baby. The editing was done within a few days after we chose our favorites! Sometimes this can take awhile, but Elizabeth made sure we had our perfect photos as soon as possible! Our family has shown off these photos numerous times, and will continue to refer Elizabeth Benecki to anyone looking for newborn photography! Her creativity and love for her work is beautiful, and we are so happy with our son's photos!

... Beth was amazing. I told her I wanted to capture fall and she had amazing ideas and props to make it happen. She takes her time and is willing to work with you at your pace. She never made us feel rushed or overwhelmed. She is a hands on photographer, she will give you a sense of direction for posing and ideas for pictures. Her compassion shows through her work and she is someone I will always recommend for maternity and / or newborn sessions.

Beth photographed our family while we were expecting our second daughter. She was patient with my toddler, took her time to get the perfect shots, and focused on the little details to make each shot special. The memories our family made during the time of the shoot are just as valuable as the images we will cherish forever. I couldn’t recommend Beth enough!

I was surprised at how fun the photo shoot was and how well they turned out! They will always be so special to me! Beth is a seriously talented photographer who not only has a good eye, but really directs you on how to pose which I needed!
I love how she incorporated what she normally does in a studio and did it outside for me. She is very flexible and creative. I absolutely love love my pictures and am so grateful I got to have her as my photographer!

We had a great experience with Beth. First of all she is a baby whisperer. She had our normally fussy newborn calm and comfortable for the multiple hours during the session. Before the photoshoot she had great tips for us on how to prep for the session and helped us choose colors that would be most complementary. Then she provided all the props and outfits for us so we didn't have to worry about a thing! Beth was also very conscientious of my newborn's needs and my needs during our family pictures. She took care to make sure we were both comfortable. She was so easy to communicate with throughout the whole process and she got the edits back to us quickly. I love all the options she has for photo books and keepsakes as well. I would highly recommend!
