I AM SO GLAD YOU'RE
HERE
Hi, I’m Ellen!
As a wife, mom, friend, and business owner, I understand the importance of a smooth photography session that's worth the investment and is a truly fun experience.
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 picked up a professional camera. 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 find myself here—but now that I am, 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.
You have so many options when it comes to choosing a photographer. This is a financial and time investment. The memories you want are so very important and the quality matters.
During your session, I’ll guide you and your family through natural, relaxed poses so the experience feels effortless and fun — and I promise you’ll love both the process from booking, location and outfit suggestions, to receiving your gallery final 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 together.

"Hi Ellen,
Thank you so much for taking the time to photograph our family. You were incredibly patient, even with [toddler]’s crying, and still managed to capture some beautiful moments. It was really easy and fun working with you. Your guidance throughout the shoot made us feel very comfortable. We love the photos and really appreciate your time and talent. Big thank you!"

During your session, I’m clicking away nonstop—capturing everything from those holiday-card-worthy shots of everyone smiling at the camera to the spontaneous, candid moments that make your family unique. Your gallery will include 60+ beautifully lit, thoughtfully composed images (and often many more—because I just can’t leave out the good ones!). With my attention to natural light and flattering angles, editing is minimal and turnaround is quick. Most galleries are delivered within a week!

&
quick Turnaround
I thoughtfully scout out hidden gem locations that bring out the best in your session. Each spot I choose offers beautiful natural light, meaningful backdrops, and plenty of room for play—because when your family feels relaxed and connected, the magic happens. I’m drawn to nature-rich settings like the bay, beaches, tall trees, and open fields—and I can’t resist a fun landmark now and then to add something special.
Intentional Locations
I strive to be the kind of photographer I’d want to book—thoughtful, efficient, and joyfully detail-oriented. From booking to delivery, the entire experience is designed to feel smooth and easy. I guide you through planning, location, and styling, and during the session, I’ll guide you and your family through natural, relaxed poses so the experience feels. I promise you’ll love both the process and the final images.
