Hi Friend,

I’m Crescelle Mae, a Florida Panhandle documentary photographer with a deep love for nostalgic, archival storytelling. My work centers on capturing the everyday rhythms and built in connections we make, because those are often the moments we return to most.

Whether I’m working with a small business owner or a family of five, my approach is rooted in experience. Each session is thoughtfully guided and intentionally crafted to offer more than digital images alone. Through a blend of photography, video, and tangible print keepsakes, I create stories meant to be felt, lived with, and revisited for many years to come.

My work is shaped by a strong appreciation for presence, memory, and preservation, as well as a commitment to advocacy and conscious living.

A portion of my work on this platform supports nonprofits dedicated to advancing congenital heart defect (CHD) research, and global food security, causes that are deeply close to my heart.

When I’m not documenting everyday moments for others, you can usually find me documenting everyday rhythms in my own family, thrifting, crafting and repurposing things or tending to my plants. Elm & Col is an extension of who I am and what I value, rooted in advocacy, conscious living, and documentary photography that honors stories with depth and intention.

To her left is a tall potted plant with large green leaves, and to her right is a wooden chest of drawers with decorative knobs and a ceramic duck figurine on top.
