"I have taken photos with Ellie since 2018 when she roughly started her photography business. I have been amazed by her talent and hard work every time! She is a great communicator when figuring out the details about the shoot! I have sent her many inspo photos of what kind of shoot I’m looking for and she has gone over and beyond what I ask for every time!" - Emily Eshlaman

Natural, authentic imagery



Capturing the natural light, connections & moments of all the things in between people and life.

As a photographer, I have a deep passion for capturing moments in golden, natural light. There’s something truly magical about the way sunlight transforms a scene, creating warm, inviting tones that enhance the beauty of every subject. Each shot is an opportunity to celebrate the world around us, revealing the stunning details often overlooked in harsher light.
