DS Media & Consulting

Hi, I'm Ella. I've spent 10+ years working with clients in media and content/brand strategy, and photography has always been the part I love most — so I'm leaning into it. There's something I find genuinely exciting about capturing a real moment: the milestone, the candid in-between, the expression someone didn't even know they made. I mostly shoot content for businesses, but during this phase of my life, family matters more than anything and I want to lean into shooting important milestones more and more. This includes graduations, engagements and elopements, headshots, or other celebrations. Of course, I can help with content for small businesses and restaurants, and I bring the same care no matter the milestone or shoot reason. What you can count on from me: clear communication, showing up on time and prepared, and an eye for the shot that makes you go "that's the one." For business clients, it goes beyond a single shoot. I help them shape how they show up online as a whole — not just social media, but their full online presence and visibility, because every touchpoint is part of how customers decide to trust a brand. Headshots, product and business content, or the strategy that ties it all together — I can take it from idea to bringing the team we need to execution. Most recently that's looked like working with a local nonprofit on their media and business strategy: helping them tell their story and reach more of the people they serve so that they can reach more donors and keep doing the good work of helping others. Good content can do real good — and that's the part I love. Whatever you're trying to build or capture, I'm your person. Let's make something you'll be glad you have to look back on. I shoot with a versatile professional kit: a Canon DSLR (Rebel) and Canon PowerShot G7X Mark III for crisp stills and video, a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 for smooth, cinematic motion and social-ready content, and a DJI drone for aerial shots when a venue, property, or event calls for it. That range means I can cover polished photos, dynamic video, and overhead footage — often all in one shoot.
