What my clients say
Ellie is a master of her craft. She has a natural talent for connecting with people and showcasing their beauty through her lens. I was immediately drawn to the emotion + light within her work, and I am in complete awe of her. She captured our wedding day with an intentionality that is rare: she creatively communicated our vision flawlessly and supported our loved ones along the way. I have full trust in her eye for documentation of life's beautiful moments. I cannot wait to collaborate with her again!
From the planning stages to execution, Ellie was phenomenal to work with in photographing our surprise engagement. She asked all of the right questions to perfectly capture the essence we were hoping for, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Ellie's diligent preparation was apparent & appreciated, and her warm presence and direction during the shoot led to fantastic shots. We couldn't recommend her more highly.
Ellie was such a pleasure to work with. Her communication was on point, and she made the most lovely vision board that perfectly matched our vision. During our shoot, she had lots of suggestions for poses and locations she had scouted. Ellie made us feel so comfortable and we're very pleased with the final product - beautiful photos of us in Chinatown at sunset, my fiancee in a traditional qipao, celebrating our unique Chinese-Korean heritage and, of course, our love. Cannot recommend Ellie enough!
TIM & YONG JUNG | ENGAGEMENT
Ellie is a talented photographer with a clear gift! I was looking to get promotional pictures and an album cover photo taken as part of my rebranding as a musician. My worries for photos in general were that they might be too cheesy. Instead, Ellie’s photographs were high quality, creative, and completely original. I was most impressed with her ability to make the light shine on just the right places, as well as her quick turnaround time.
From the moment we booked Ellie for our engagement photo shoot, she was nothing short of exceptional. She listened intently to our vision, mocked up sample mood boards, and executed the most beautiful and genuine moments with an ease that can only come from pure talent. I hold the highest praise for her ability to capture raw emotion and turn it into something magical — we still look at our photos in complete awe. Ellie was also a dream to work with. Her kindness, professionalism, and authenticity made us feel completely comfortable with the shoot while also having so much fun. Could not recommend her more!
Ellie has an incredible vision and all the talent it takes to make that vision come to life. She’s collaborative, experienced, and the best person to spend a few hours taking pictures with! I’d never done any sort of photoshoot before, and I was nervous that I wouldn’t know what to do/how to pose, especially in public locations. But Ellie guided me through every step! She made me feel comfortable, and it shows in the photos. I look like myself, which I love.
NORA | LIFESTYLE
I heard about Ellie by word of mouth and fell in love with how she captured all of her subjects’ beauty in such a natural way. Not only was she incredibly knowledgeable about what lighting and locations worked best, she knew just how to make me feel comfortable and at my best and it showed in my photos! I would definitely recommend Ellie to anyone in need of photos and hope to work with her again.

Ellie is great at capturing the essence of her subject both through her creative direction and location scouting. When I shoot with Ellie the creative process feels seamless for the model and Ellie’s editing is consistent in conveying warmth and tenderness. Ellie effectively knows how to capture her subject's idiosyncratic personality while also staying original to her photography style.
