I am a mother of two amazing tiny humans, so trust me when I say I get it! The time goes faster than you can imagine, their tiny hand prints on the door are fading, and you're clinging to their childhood while being excited to watch them soar. Motherhood changed me, just like I am sure it changed you.

Oh Hey,
I'm Elaina!

Currently, we are living life along the Chattahoochee River, and yes it gets hotter than a.. well, I'm sure you know how the song goes. As a military family, we get to experience new places and faces often! My kids have been my inspiration since day one, if you are a mother then you understand wanting to savor every tiny moment of their childhood, and photography has allowed me to do that. Where would I be without the 2,000 (and always growing) photos of their chubby cheeks, dirty toes, new creations, maniacal laughter, and occasional funny cry faces (you know exactly what I mean there!!) 

Real talk, I wasn't one of those people who "always knew they wanted to be a photographer." I always thought I would work with animals, to be honest, and even in my high school photography class, I scraped by with an average grade, and no interest to pursue it further. It wasn't until I was lost in the thick of motherhood, with two babies under two, that I realized I needed something for myself. That is when I fell headfirst into photography, and unexpectedly, found myself. I owe a lot to my sweet husband, who took my 'wild idea' and encouraged me to run with it. In fact, he was the one who actually taught me how to use a camera and shoot in manual. Forever thankful for his endless support! I have been called an 'old soul' for most of my life, and I never really felt that way about myself until I got behind the lens. I know this is my calling, I love seeing people for who they are, telling their stories, and showing them how beautiful and magical they are. 

I am a mother to two of the most rad kids ever, and a wife to a super hot guy in a uniform.

First, and most importantly,

MY favorite THINGS

I am a natural nurturer, and always looking to help others where I can. Yes, the sensitive stereotype is also true. I wear my heart on my sleeve and feel everything from everyone around me. I think that's a large part of why I am a storytelling photographer, being able to visually capture that love between your family. If you're ready for a fun photography experience, with lots of laughing, and stress-free, let's chat!! If you're ready, I'm ready!

If you guessed that my enneagram number is a 2w3, you would be right!

BEHIND THE LENS

Elaina Baer is it, people. She’s got the touch! 

Not only did she come in knowing exactly which shots we wanted, but she even managed to get the shots we didn’t know were going to be the most special! She painted that picture, y’all! Her personality brightens a room, and makes you super comfortable with your session. She was so incredibly encouraging and loving through the entire process including interactions with our family. She not only captured the love between us, but absolutely brought us to tears!

Elaina's positivity and excitement immediately made us at ease

We were able to let our guards down and just focus on each other and not the camera. Her energy as a photographer is uncanny. She wants raw + vulnerable shots, so you will never feel uncomfortable. You can just be yourself and she can capture your inner beauty. We loved every picture she sent, and were so happy with the entire experience!

Stephanie & Will

Boho Baer Photography is amazing, Let’s start with that!

Her work is Raw and Beautiful. I am a momma of 3 boys and I love having pictures of them in their natural crazy state! She always gets all of their personalities which I LOVE because they are all so different! The pictures she takes I will always cherish, even the ones of my sour patch kid crying because those are the moments I live for like I said she makes such Raw Beautiful photos that I promise you will always be asking her for more!
