Hey there,

I'm Ella!

Thanks for stopping by!


I'm a self-taught photographer

based in Atlanta & New Orleans,

specializing in

portraits and

sports photography.


I focus on capturing

genuine emotions & authentic moments, blending natural, golden light

with a creative, editorial approach

to bring out the

unique personalities

of my subjects.




How It Started

 

My love for photography began when I received my first camera at just five years old. What started as a fun hobby quickly grew into a true passion as I got older. I invested in a better camera, eager to learn more, and taught myself how to master Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop-tools I still use to this day.


At twelve, I received a Canon EOS 5D Mark III, and that moment changed everything. It became my most prized possession, and I realized photography wasn’t just something I loved—it was something I wanted to build a career around. From that point on, I began booking gigs, turning my passion into a business.


Now, I’ve been fortunate enough to photograph weddings, capture the energy of sports teams, and create memorable portraits for seniors and families. Growing up in a household where creativity thrived—both of my parents hold degrees in Visual Communications & Design—has deeply shaped my artistic vision. But for me, it’s always been about more than the technical side. It’s about capturing moments that tell a story, preserving memories people can cherish for a lifetime.
