Portrait Club is a monthly themed portrait experience held in Burlingame.
I created it as a simple way for local families who haven't worked with me before to experience what it's like to be photographed by me.
Every month brings a new theme and a new opportunity to celebrate your family in just 10 minutes.
"Ellen was amazing to work with! She was super efficient during our mini session and captured beautiful photos of our family, even with our overly energetic 4 year old!"
— Kirsten C.
