Hi, I'm
Ellen

I’m a lifestyle and natural light photographer in the San Francisco Bay Area based in San Mateo County.
I specialize in family, newborn, and maternity sessions that take place at home or outdoors, capturing genuine joy, connection, and beautifully candid moments.
Along with photography, I also offer cinematic highlight films to bring your family's story to life in motion.
My sessions are fun, easy, and professional. I'll guide you and your family with simple prompts and natural posing, so you can enjoy being together while I document the love and energy that make your family unique.
