Shooting with Ellie is an expansive, transformative, heart-opening experience. I rarely feel my true essence is captured in professional photographs except for in Ellie's work, where the results are always revealing and inspiring. Working, creating, and collaborating with her both behind and in front of the camera allows me to let my guard down, be vulnerable, and be fully myself. Her ease, vision and confidence bring magic to her images, and knowing her brings magic to your life.
