Meet Photographer Taija Elvie

Taija Elvie

The Coolest Lens Wizard Around!

Taija Elvie is a proud graduate of Centennial College’s Photography Program and is now in her third year as part of the Photography Team for Centennial Grad Photos, presented by CCSAI and Phoenix Pro Labs.

When she’s not capturing unforgettable moments through her lens, Taija is living and breathing all things photography—especially when it comes to fashion and documentary-style storytelling. Blending vintage vibes with modern flair, she often reaches for rolls of film to freeze life’s special moments in time (because film just hits differently!).

But photography is just one part of the magic that makes Taija, well… Taija! Here are a few things you should know about her:

📸 She’s hilarious (seriously, she should have her own stand-up special).
🎤 Occasionally breaks into song—because why not?
🎬 Has an unhealthy obsession with quoting Napoleon Dynamite (like, it’s a real problem).
🎞️ Aims to be a true cinephile… but gets sidetracked by Napoleon Dynamite quotes every time.

Whether she’s behind the camera or cracking jokes, Taija brings energy, creativity, and a whole lot of fun to everything she does. So if you ever need an awesome photographer (or someone to discuss the cinematic genius of Napoleon Dynamite), she’s your person!
