Elsie Larson, born on November 19, 1983 in Springfield, Missouri, grew up with a passion for creativity and self-expression. From a young age, she was drawn to photography and art, which eventually led her to start her own blog, A Beautiful Mess, in 2007. Little did she know at the time that this blog would become the foundation for a successful lifestyle company.
Initially, A Beautiful Mess was Elsie's personal creative outlet where she shared her DIY projects, recipes, and photography. It wasn't until 2010 when her sister, Emma Chapman, joined her that the brand began to gain traction. Together, the sisters expanded A Beautiful Mess beyond a blog and ventured into creating photo apps and releasing bestselling books under the A Beautiful Mess umbrella.
With Emma by her side, Elsie transformed A Beautiful Mess into a thriving lifestyle company that resonated with audiences all over the world. Their photo apps, A Beautiful Mess and A Color Story, became must-have tools for aspiring photographers and social media enthusiasts. The sisters' books offered inspiring DIY projects and creative ideas for decorating and living a beautiful life.
Aside from A Beautiful Mess, Elsie shares another blog, The Larson House, with her husband, Jeremy Larson. Together, they document their life and marriage through captivating photography and heartfelt stories. Jeremy, a musician known for the collaborative EP series Violents, brings his own creative talents to the blog, creating a dynamic duo that inspires their readers.
It's not just in the digital world where Elsie shines. She is also involved in various creative projects and collaborations, constantly pushing the boundaries of her creativity. Laura Gummerman, a staff writer for A Beautiful Mess and wife of Mutemath guitarist Todd Gummerman, adds her own touch of creativity to the mix, further expanding the brand's reach and influence.
Through her work with A Beautiful Mess and beyond, Elsie Larson has left a lasting impact on the world of lifestyle blogging and creativity. Her dedication to sharing her passion for art, photography, and living a beautiful life has inspired countless individuals to embrace their creativity and pursue their dreams.
