Hi there! I'm Ellen!

Let's get to know each other!


I am a portrait photographer for families, couples, seniors, and maternity serving in Mankato and southern Minnesota. My absolute favorite thing about photography? Being able to serve and love on others. There is nothing better than serving and connecting with genuine hearts. My love of capturing moments to hold onto is what brought me to photography. There are so many sweet and fleeting life moments we should always cherish. Let's freeze those moments together!


Fun facts about me? Ok, let's go!

  • My family is everything! I'm a lucky girl with two cute boys in my life - my husband and our son- and a super sweet daughter.
  • Big dog lover here! Proudly obsessed with my golden retriever, Daisy Duke. I would not hate it one bit if you had your dog join your session.
  • I'm a coffee, ice cream, pizza lovin' girl who is a big fan of lake life, Jesus, genuine hearts, and chats with good friends.
  • Fair warning: I sing when super happy and excited. So don't be surprised if I sing a little somethin' somethin' when we create the perfect photo together.


Now I want to get to know YOU! Please don't be shy! Drop your questions or just simply say hi. Hop on over to the "Contact" page.

I would love to hear from you!
