Donna Elton-Rodrigues
donna@camerascreative.com
Born and raised in Santa Monica, California, Donna's passion for photography came at a very young age. She realized how beautiful the world could be and had a burning desire to capture a small portion of that beauty to share with others. Because of her love for animals, Donna founded Paw Shots, a company specializing in fine pet portraiture.
Although Donna’s passion for pet and animal photography has been a driving force in her work, she has traveled extensively covering over 34 countries. She has developed a cultivated eye and exceptional photographic skills in fine art, portrait, drone, wedding, and of course, travel photography.
In 2004, Donna combined her skills with her husband Michael, forming what would become Cameras Creative, designed to meet the demands in the commercial photographic and video production markets.
Donna is also published author, her debut novel, Finding Everleigh, was inspired by a solo six-month photographic, biking and backpacking trip through sixteen European countries. Finding Everleigh was ranked #1 on Amazon in multiple categories and it continues to inspire others to chase their dreams.
