Meet Your Photographer

HEY, I'm Ellie

located in the heart of melbourne

So stoked you’re here—welcome! I’m Ellie, your next photographer if you’re after a relaxed, creative, and collaborative experience.

Whether it’s cosy moments with your little one, wild family adventures, or imaginative shoots for your business—I’m all about capturing whatever sets your soul on fire.

We’ll skip the stiff poses. I’ll gently guide you (and your little ones) so we can capture candid, artsy moments that feel like you.

As my Grandma Juju says, “Life isn’t a dress rehearsal.If photos have been on your mind, take the leap! I promise it’ll be fun, relaxed, and something you won't forget.
