I'm Ellie
Since I will be your paid sidekick for the day I thought its only right if you know a bit about me first: I'm a social butterfly, chatterbox, and will forever be your biggest hype women. I'm a foodie, traveler, backpacker, and music lover (not singer, but I like to think so)! Most importantly I am a lover of life. I find that life is way to precious to not find the good and love ever second possible.
I got you, it's your turn to be present
We should work together, here's why
I am not just the person behind the camera, but the person who gets the privilege of being apart milestones in your life.
At the end of each session we will share smiles and laughter even when the camera is no longer clicking. This story telling session is not just capturing a moment frozen in time but one you get to relive for years to come!
Photography is my love
As a little girl, my grandpa would take me on "photography dates." Him and I would run around St Paul photographing buildings, flowers, and more. I then started photographing family and friends, but strictly for fun.
PAUSE PHOTO JOURNEY
Time for college and pursuing my graphic design degree, that is until I studied abroad in Florence, Italy!
RESUME PHOTO JOURNEY
Thank goodness for Italy and bringing back my love (photography)! I got the opportunity to focus on dreams that brought me joy and now I have turned those dreams into my incredible reality.
my photo values
Communication is key
I believe that clear communication before your big day helps everything run more smoothly, keeps you comfortable, and ensures the best experience possible! I never push communication aside or delay it—it's something I prioritize and take pride in. If you don’t step into your day feeling comfortable with me and confident in how everything will unfold, then I haven’t succeeded in doing my job!
Natural & Timeless style
I strive for true-to-tone colors and authentic, in-the-moment captures (plus some amazing black-and-white moments, of course). My goal is to deliver professional photos that feel like enhanced, real-life color.
It's not me,
it's you
Let’s not forget, we’re here for YOU, not for me! You don’t need to worry about the time or whether we’re capturing all the “must-have shots," that’s my job! Your job is to stay present and enjoy the moment because this day is all about YOU!
