Hi, I'm Ellise!
I’m a family photographer based in the Hunter Valley, and for the past nine years I’ve been capturing the real, in-between moments that make family life so special.
I first picked up my camera when my daughter Isla was born, and it completely changed the way I saw the world. Now, with two little girls, a backyard full of animals, and a camera that’s never too far away, I’ve built a life around photographing love, connection, and the beautiful chaos of family.
Whether it’s a family session, maternity shoot, or my much-loved Christmas minis with our deer, my goal is always simple: to make you feel comfortable, celebrated, and truly seen. No stiff poses, no pressure.
Just real moments you’ll want to hold onto forever.
I’d love to create something special for your family.
MY LATEST WORK
We chose Ellise for our maternity and newborn photographs after I’d seen numerous people I knew use her over the years. Ellise is such a warm person that our family instantly felt relaxed, and that feeling was shining through in our photographs with so many genuine, natural laughs, smiles and just loving moments captured. Ellise’s style is so versatile that her ability to capture so many different angles, poses and backgrounds at the one location means we’ve been able to hang multiple photographs from each shoot within our home without that feeling like they’re all the same, but mostly we truly felt like we received value for money. We can’t wait for Ellise to photograph our family again, her work is stunning.
