I'm Ellie!

GROWING UP

I grew between the East Coast and Texas as the oldest of four sisters, which basically means I’ve been practicing leadership (and patience) since day one. Two of my sisters live abroad now, and two of us are stateside, but family and community have always been central to how I move through life. 

After college, I spent time in Alton, NH, Dallas & Austin, TX, Whitefish, MT and Santa Fe, NM building my career in organic social media, photography and creative strategy. I worked across many different silos: social media, content creation, branding, and influencer management. These gave me the foundation I now lean on with clients. In my spare time, it was horseback lessons,  Pride & Prejudice re-watches (the six-part version, of course), and coffee-fueled mornings. I’m playful at heart, but I’ve always been drawn to timeless, classic, elegant aesthetics. That mix is what I now bring into my photography.

POST GRAD

why charleston

I recently moved to Charleston to be closer to the ocean. There’s something so grounding about being able to slip away to the beach on a Tuesday, catch a sunset, or even edit reels  right from the sand. Charleston feels like the perfect blend of tradition and energy! This place aligns with my personality - warm, and welcoming, yet timeless, with quality and storytelling at the center.

in five years...

In five years, we'll see - but I'd love to be a thriving creative partner. With every project, I approach it as a partnership, because the best work comes from building something together that lasts.

“Ellie helped my friends and me pose for a few shots, but more than that, she made us feel confident and beautiful in every image. She’s also just so much fun to hang out with — it never felt like a spotlight was on us. She brings such a calming, supportive energy.”

“We loved having Ellie with us in Steamboat! She blended right in. It’s so rare that our entire extended family is together. It was amazing having her team there, quietly working in the background to document it all.” AMANDA, BHR

“I first found Ellie’s work on Instagram and loved her editing style — y’all!! She was so fast! We had our full gallery in just 48 hours. She’s talented, thoughtful, and such a joy to work with. Highly recommend.” ELIZABETH FREY COACHING
