daily rituals:

Morning athletic greens, coffee, and collagen peptides.
Cuddles with my son and husband.
Workout with weights, yoga, or HIIT cardio.

I AM SO GLAD YOU'RE

Hi, I’m Ellen!

As a wife, mom, friend, and business owner, I understand the importance of a smooth photography session that’s truly fun and worth the investment. I believe the experience should feel just as special as the photos themselves. For me, photography is more than a session—it’s meaningful time spent connecting with people and their families. It’s a privilege to be trusted with those memories.

My love for photography started long before I became a photographer. I was the girl with the Kodak disposable camera on the last day of 5th grade, snapping photos with classmates. The one who always had a pocket-sized Canon in high school and college, uploading full Facebook albums after every event. Even now, I’m still the one rounding everyone up for a group pic or selfie so we can remember the moment and share it in our group chats.

I’ve always loved having something tangible to remember life’s special moments—photos that spark joy, nostalgia, and a sense of “I really lived that day.” With a background in engineering and fitness, I never imagined I’d one day become a photographer—but now that I’m here, it feels exactly right. For over a decade, fitness was my creative outlet—from bodybuilding to marathons, CrossFit, and lifting competitions. Then, in 2023, I became a mom—and that changed everything. Motherhood awakened a softer, more nurturing, and more creative side of me. I became obsessed with capturing every milestone of my baby boy’s life.

That’s when I realized: family is powerful. Love between parent and child is beautiful. And I want to help others freeze those fleeting moments, to frame them and remember them always. As a photographer, I know you have so many options when it comes to choosing someone to document your family. This is both a financial and time investment—and the memories you want are incredibly important. Quality matters. During your session, I’ll guide you and your family through natural, relaxed poses so the experience feels effortless and fun. I promise you’ll love the whole journey—from booking and choosing a location to styling tips and finally receiving your full gallery of joyful images. I’d love to meet you, hear your story, and help you preserve this season of life—messy, beautiful, and everything in between.

Let’s create something meaningful and timeless together.

Your Go-To Family Photographer
