Hey, I'm Ellen!

I am a newborn & lifestyle photographer based out of Charlotte, NC. I’ve been behind a camera since I was 13, and twenty years later I’m still drawn to the same thing: how a single moment becomes something families hold onto for decades. I love knowing the pictures I take are the ones pulled out at graduation parties, shared at wedding dinners, and passed around as your kids grow.

My style is warm and lifestyle driven, with gentle direction that keeps your family comfortable while letting real connection show through. I aim for images that feel clean and timeless, rooted in the quiet details that define this season of your life.

When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me taking my dog to the park, working in the garden, or serving in my local church!
