Hi, I'm Ellie.
Capturing the messy parts.
You deserve photos that feel honest, vibrant, and completely like you.
With a passion for storytelling and an eye for the extraordinary, I specialize in turning chaos into art and capturing the small, fleeting moments that often go unseen: a genuine laugh, a quiet glance, the in-between magic of real life.
For over 10 years, photography has been more than a creative outlet for me; it’s been a way to help people feel seen, comfortable, and confident in front of the camera. My approach embraces the imperfect, the unplanned, and the beautifully chaotic, allowing your images to reflect not just how you look, but who you truly are.
Based in Southern Maine and always open to travel, I’m here to help you preserve your story in a way that feels natural, meaningful, and lasting.
Let’s create something beautiful together.
