Elise L’Heureux (January 22, 1827 — January 1896) was a photographer from Quebec City, Quebec.
L’Heureux's work was prominent during the Victorian Era.
At that time, art moved towards romanticism and mysticism in connection with social values and the arts. Photographers during the Victorian Era came primarily from Europe, or trained there.
This resulted in a European influence on Canadian photography.
L’Heureux's initial artistic focus was on portraits, typically of children, for which she became known.
She expanded to include calling cards and landscapes.
L’Heureux contributed to documentary photography in the 19th century through her photos of residents and landscapes of Quebec.
She managed her own photography company after the death of her husband.
