My name is Ellen...
THE EXPERIENCE
I approach every session like an adventure. In the mountains, by the sea or through the city. Styling and capturing you in the most authentic way is how I roll. Don't worry about the posing either, I got you covered!
THE ADVENTURE
Whether you are an outdoor enthusiast or an urban dweller, your session's location is curated to fit your mood. Already have a place in mind? I'd love to hear all about it! Not sure where to go? Rest easy, as I am always out hiking & scouting new unique places to show you too!
Shoots are not limited to the Black Hills of South Dakota, it's just the place I currently call home. 3-5 months out of the year I'm on the road and I go where opportunity calls!

THE SHOOT
We'll kick back, laugh, and channel in the real you. I'll get you covered on all the expressions, angles, and unique qualities you have. Just sit back relax, and I'll guide you through the rest!
THE HAIR & MAKEUP
I'll even bring my professional hair and makeup artist on set so you look feel fresh throughout your entire shoot!
TESTIMONIALS
See what others have said working with me was like!
"Who knew a photo shoot could be so therapeutic and regenerative! Ellen is the most outstanding woman in that she is able to be a creative director, highly skilled photographer, and highly empathetic cheerleader of her models all simultaneously..."
