HELLO! I'M 

Ellen

your cincinnati newborn & family photographer

My first steps into the world of photography were through my 1997 Fisher Price 35mm film camera that I so proudly owned in Kindergarten. From that point on, I always enjoyed taking photos—disposable film, a point-and-shoot, eventually my phone. I didn’t think much about the reason behind it then, but I was always drawn to photographing the seemingly unnoticed details.

When I started my photography business, I had a simple hope: to help families remember those details. The hand dimples on their six-month-old, the ringlet curls of their toddler, the way they close their eyes when they lean into their child's hug. Small moments that, in hindsight, mean everything.

When my daughter was born, my view shifted even more. After endless nights of rocking, quietly studying her features, hours of play learning her mannerisms and language... I began to see that truly capturing the heart of a personality lies in those details.  And through this lens is how I aim to capture your family. I want you to look at your photographs and think “that’s my child.” I want you to see their personality jump off the page and immediately feel transported back to that moment.

As my daughter quickly grows, I already find myself forgetting parts of who she was. My hope for myself, and for every mother, is that we find ways to remember them as they were, and who we were, every step of the way.
