I am passionate about creating a fun, relaxed photography experience that the whole family will enjoy. Like, the kids will literally ask "when do we get to take pictures again?"

I can't wait to show you how magical your family moments are. The beauty in the chaos of your everyday life with little ones. The sweet, snuggly moments in the midst of mayhem. The unique dynamic that makes your family one-of-a-kind. 

The life you've built is so special, and I'm here to make sure you remember it.  

Hey, I'm Ellen.

A Film and Digital MOtherhood, Family, and Wedding photographer in Alabama.

"Ellen is a breath of fresh air for family photos. From the moment she walked in, I immediately felt comfortable and at ease with her, like I had known her forever."

Heirlooms for your Home

I use a combination of digital and film photography to give you a session that turns your ordinary moments into magical artwork you'll hang on your walls and pull down off your shelves for years to come. 

"From the moment she walked in, I immediately felt comfortable and at ease with her, like I had known her forever. She didn’t judge my children’s silly behavior, she loved it and captured their silly and fun personalities in all the in-between moments—and got them to smile their genuine non posed smiles! There are hardly any pictures I wouldn’t have framed out of the TONS we got from her! You won’t regret hiring her, she is worth every penny!

"Ellen is a breath of fresh air for family photos."

"She made me feel so relaxed and beautiful."
