About Ellen

I have been photographing events and families for twelve years.  As a Silicon Valley native, I love shooting tech events, parties, and corporate functions.  As a lifestyle family photographer, I love capturing the unique vibe that makes your tribe special.  I am a proud third-generation Californian, having grown up in the Bay Area and lived in the San Diego, Los Angeles and Santa Barbara areas...some of the most beautiful places on the planet (of course I'm biased...but it's true!).  So it makes sense that I'm a natural light photographer:  let's get outside and show off the natural beauty of you and your loved ones surrounded by the natural beauty of our area!

As a lover of sports, one of my favorite TV channels is ESPN, and on most weekends you can find me with a cup of Peet's coffee watching one of my favorite Bay Area teams.  I'm a member of Professional Photographers of America, a parent of two amazing kids, and, "person," to Calvin, my Mini Australian Shepherd.
