About
I’m a Bay Area photographer serving the San Francisco Peninsula and San Mateo County, specializing in natural, connection-driven photography.
Whether I’m documenting a wedding, event, or family session, my approach is calm, guided, and intentional. I step in when needed and give you space when it matters, so your photos feel genuine and never forced.
I’m not just your photographer. I’m your steady guide throughout the entire experience.
You don’t have to worry about posing, managing your kids, or wondering if everything is going right. I gently lead in a way that feels easy and natural, so you can stay present and enjoy the moment.
I’m especially experienced with young children and know how to create a relaxed environment where real connection comes through. Sessions are efficient without ever feeling rushed.
I also guide you through the details. From what to wear to choosing the right location, everything is thoughtfully planned so you can simply show up and feel taken care of.
For in-home sessions, I work with natural light and know how to create beautiful images in any space.
Every session includes a fully edited high-resolution gallery, with options for prints and albums so your photos can be enjoyed for years to come.
My goal is simple. To create photos that feel like you, and an experience that feels calm, connected, and effortless from beginning to end.

We had such a wonderful experience! From the very beginning, she was professional, friendly, and incredibly efficient. I really appreciated that she came to see the property beforehand so she knew exactly what she wanted to shoot and had a clear vision going in. That preparation made the whole process smooth and stress-free.The photos of my child are absolutely beautiful. She captured such natural, genuine moments; they truly reflect my childs personality. The quality is stunning, the turnaround was quick, and her pricing was very reasonable. Overall, she was kind, organized, and a joy to work with. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much, Kristyn! I loved scouting your beautiful property to ensure we captured the perfect natural light child photography here in Redwood City. It was such a joy to provide you with high-quality professional family portraits that truly reflect your child’s personality!

Ellen recently photographed me and my Pomeranian, Cheeto. Ellen is a lovely person and a talented photographer, and she made me and Cheeto feel comfortable and safe in front of her lens. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much! It was a joy to capture such sweet moments with you and Cheeto during our pet photography session here in San Francisco. I’m so glad your dog felt comfortable and safe.

Ellen was such a pleasure to work with.She made the scheduling, logistics, and session super easy and fun for my family of five. Historically, family photos have not been easy to coordinate. We had a great time, she was as efficient and our photos were amazing

Exceeded all my (admittedly Very High) expectations. The photo session was both calm and delightful. Ellen gently gave us posing directions, and also caught candid and barely-posed shots that shone brightly with the love in our family. So Many Amazing photos! We will return next year, and the year after...

Thank you so much! I’m so honored to have exceeded your expectations. It was a joy capturing your family's love in both posed and candid moments. Can’t wait to see you next year!
