If you’re searching for a wedding or portrait photographer, chances are you’re not just looking for pretty photos—you want images that feel honest, emotional, and truly like you.
The kind of photographs that capture the giggles, the relationships, and the sweet details and moments so you can remember not just how this season looked, but exactly how it felt. You want to feel comfortable in front of the camera, confident in your photographer, and free to be fully present with the people you love most.
At the same time, it’s completely normal to wonder if the experience will feel awkward, rushed, or overly posed. Many couples and families worry about not knowing what to do with their hands, feeling stiff in photos, or missing the meaningful moments while everything moves so quickly. These are once-in-a-lifetime memories, and you deserve a photography experience that feels calm, guided, and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish.
That’s why my approach to photography is centered on connection first. With gentle direction, thoughtful planning, and a timeless, true-to-life style, you’ll feel supported every step of the way so your photos reflect real emotion, natural movement, and the relationships that matter most. When you feel at ease and trust your photographer, the most beautiful moments unfold naturally… and that’s where the magic truly lives.

Meet Ely

Hi, I’m Ely (pronounced Ee-Lee). At the heart of everything I do is a deep love for people, their feelings, what makes them genuinely themselves. I believe the most meaningful photographs happen when you feel comfortable enough to be fully yourself, which is why I approach every wedding day and session with an intentional presence, encouraging guidance, and a focus on real connection over perfect photos you saw on Pinterest.
My goal is simple: to encourage you to feel seen, celebrated, and completely at ease so your photos reflect not just how this season looked, but how it truly felt. From helping you prepare ahead of time to creating a relaxed atmosphere in the moment, I’m there to support you every step of the way so you can focus on the people you love while I preserve the memories you never want to forget.
Years behind the camera have taught me one simple thing: photos matter most when the people in them feel safe, relaxed, and fully themselves.
Photography started as something I was constantly chasing long before it became the work I get to do every day. Over the last 8 years, I’ve walked alongside brides on wedding mornings, honored families in new seasons, and celebrated college grads spraying champagne before they walked across that stage. Every single experience has shaped the way I show up for the people in front of my lens.
What matters most to me isn’t over 400 sessions I’ve photographed. It’s what all those moments have taught me about people. I’ve learned how to gently guide without overwhelming, how to comfort someone when they feel unsure, and how to create an environment where laughter, tears, and real connection can naturally unfold.
Think of me as the friend standing beside you with a camera. The one fixing your hair if it is caught in your lip gloss, reminding you how loved you are, and making sure you leave not only with beautiful photos, but with a memory of feeling completely cared for the entire time.
Whether you’re planning a wedding, celebrating a new season of life, or simply wanting to preserve the people you love most, this is where it all begins. You don’t have to have every detail figured out—that’s what I’m here for. I’d truly love to connect and hear what you’re dreaming up.
You're in the right place.
Looking for images that are timeless and grounded?
And an experience that feels just as genuine, meaningful, and heartfelt as your photos?
I thrive on spending meaningful moments with the people I care about most.
Always prioritizing quality time
I found so much peace in slowing down, noticing the little details, and truly appreciating the moment instead of scrolling on my phone.
A lover of film
From bread and biscuits to jam, creating from scratch in the kitchen lets me savor the simple joys of life.
Trying things homemade
Whether it’s exploring a new city, chasing sunrise on a morning hike, or sipping coffee at a new coffee shop, they all inspire the way I see and capture moments.
Travel + adventure fuels me
My Josey and Dottie run the household, and I might occasionally pause a shoot to share a funny story about them.
Animal mom forever
Give me a peaceful morning, one of my husbands classic lattes, and time with my fur babies, and I’m in my happy place before the world even wakes up.

MEET THE GIRL BEHIND THE LENS
I fell in love with documenting people as they truly are. Their smile lines, curly hair blowing in the wind, or tearful giggles in a moment of pure joy. There’s something so impactful about freezing those fleeting, authentic moments, showing the world who someone is inside and out. Through my work, I’ve learned that connection, storytelling, and noticing the beauty in the small, real details are what make photography truly timeless.
I know what it feels like to not feel fully seen, and every client I work with deserves to feel celebrated, supported, and genuinely appreciated. That’s why I’m intentional about crafting an encouraging and guided experience—one where you can relax, be yourself, and trust that the moments that matter most will be captured with care.
The world is brimming with moments of light, laughter, and connection, but we have to be intentional to truly notice them. Photography gives us that chance. Every image brings you back to a person, a memory, a place, a feeling, and a moment of beauty that continues to give joy long after it passes.
