Bay Area Lifestyle Photographer

Thoughtfully guided photography, so you can simply enjoy the moment.

I'm Ellen, the photographer behind Ellobelle Photography, serving the San Francisco Peninsula.

I believe beautiful photos begin with an experience you'll enjoy. Every session is thoughtfully guided from start to finish, so you can relax, enjoy the moment, and feel confident every step of the way.

Born and raised on the San Francisco Peninsula, I'll help you choose a location that's beautiful, practical, and a perfect fit for you.

You simply show up. I'll take care of the rest.

My background in engineering and project management brings thoughtful planning and organization to every session.

These days, you'll usually find me chasing my toddler through downtown Burlingame, exploring Washington Park, or spending slow mornings at the Palo Alto Junior Museum & Zoo. As a mom, I know the moments you'll want to remember long after your children have grown.

As a toddler mom and preschool photographer, I know the best photos happen when kids have the freedom to move, play, and simply be themselves.

"It felt like we were hanging out with a talented friend who just happened to have a camera. The session was relaxed, full of laughs, and she made our neighborhood park feel like a secret garden."

— Helen L.

Beautiful photos begin with an experience you'll genuinely enjoy.
