Austin, Texas, Travis
I offer a variety of different kinds of portrait photography. But, it's not just the photos that make what I do special. My mission is telling stories, so my first priority on a shoot is getting to know the client. We can talk, share things with each other, and the photos become genuine.

Ellie is quick to respond to requests, and is very thorough in explaining her packages (wedding) and services offered. On top of being super professional, she also has a very artistic eye and knows what she’s doing! She came to our engagement shoot with an idea of poses, was fully prepared with different lenses, and made sure we were smiling and comfortable. Ellie was able to capture candid moments that me and my partner shared, and even if I feel self conscious about how I look I can’t help but smile when I look at the pictures! Wedding planning is so stressful, and you have an added pressure of looking nice. Ellie made us feel like we were already more than good enough as we are, and the pictures absolutely reflect that. You can tell that Ellie treats her clients very well and values them by the quality and care put into every step and every photo. 10/10 would always have Ellie as our photographer! More...

My family and I had a photo session with Ellie around the end of October. We asked her for location suggestions, and we ended up choosing Lago Vista from her options. She was very professional, super nice and made us all feel very relaxed considering it can be somewhat awkward trying to pose naturally for pictures. We were very pleased with how the pictures came out. They are probably some of the best family portraits we have taken in a very long time!! We would definitely recommend her! More...

So thankful for Ellie! Shortly before our wedding our photographer let us know he wouldn't be able to make it. This made me extremely worried, but then I found Ellie and looking at her portfolio and the amazing pictures she took I knew I wanted her to shoot for our wedding.
Ellie was very quick to respond and super flexible and willing to work with us and our budget. She is also so absolutely sweet. And her ideas for picture positions are just so lovely! I cannot stop being thankful to her and her assistant. She helped make our special day even more special and we will definitely keep her contact information for future events! ❤
Oh! And when her pictures came in I was so ecstatic!!! She captured every special moment in the most amazing way. I feel like I'm right there experiencing my wedding again as I look at each picture. Very special. I'm so happy with how the photos came out.

I just got my photos back from Ellie and I LOVE them. They came out even better than expected. I can be so awkward when it comes to pictures but I wanted photos for my online portfolio. Ellie made me feel comfortable and like I was just with a friend. Plus her prices are amazing and you really get a bang for your buck with her. I only write reviews if I'm really happy or really angry and in this case, it's the former. Thanks Ellie!! More...

Ellie did the photography for my daughter's wedding this summer, and the pictures turned out wonderfully. She was friendly and professional. She readily added different poses and combos people asked for, and included numerous candid shots taken throughout the celebration. I highly recommend her for any special event you may be planning.

Ellie helped me out by taking my graduation photos this past week. I hate being in front of the camera but she made me feel comfortable and had great ideas for the shoot. I've only ever taken professional photos for school so I wasn't too prepared for the shoot, but this was nothing like that stiff environment. I actually had a great time. She even let me throw a couple ideas out there and made the shots better than I even imagined. To top it all off, her edits came within a couple of days! Incredible. I love every image and that says a lot! More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Capturing emotion, great lighting, and a little bit of luck.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
I love asking clients to show me examples of photos that they like. I usually try to create a Pinterest board with color palette ideas, poses I think would be great, etc., so that way everyone is ready when the day comes.
What do you love most about your job?
I love meeting people and hearing what makes everyone unique! And when people bring their pets to shoots.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I was twelve years old and was taught that if you want something, nothing should stop you. So, I didn't let anything stop me.
Why should our clients choose you?
You know, this is such a tricky question. In Austin, there's so many wonderful photographers it can be overwhelming. I'm here to give people a fun experience that will translate into fun photos that are a mix of candid (in the moment) and posed photographs.
