Hi there! My name is Ellie and I am the proud mom to three-year-old Ocean, the cat seen looking less-than-thrilled in this photo. We are HUGE swifties. Ocean helped me survive the great Ticketmaster war to get Eras Tour tickets. I made sure to bring home a friendship bracelet for him!

When I am not listening to Taylor or talking to Ocean (which I never do BTW), I can be found around town with my camera either photographing seniors and families or at a sporting event freezing time for the perfect pitch or touchdown. I grew up an athlete playing both soccer and swimming while attending many sporting events. My swimming career took me to Alma College where I competed until the pandemic. I am a HUGE hockey fan, hailing from St. Paul, Minnesota where I had a family member play hockey for the Minnesota North Stars and help bring home the gold at the 1980 Olympics! Sports are in my DNA.

Now, as I figure out adulting, I enjoy cute coffee shops, working out, and reorganizing my kitchen cabinets on Saturdays. Oh, and my crockpot. That girl and I are a TEAM.

Thank you for browsing my portfolio! Below you will find my work history and throughout my portfolio, you will unlock different mediums of projects I have completed (so far!).
