Working with Ellen was great!
I really appreciated her time management & the fact she started the photo shoot exactly at the time we arranged. The quality of photographs are excellent and not only that, the price is very affordable for the quality of work we are obtaining. She is wonderful to work with! Will def. use her again in future projects.

Ellen was very professional. She worked diligently and independently to capture the character of our work. She delivered the photos promptly.

I've hired photographers before and have been satisfied. But Ellen surpassed my expectations by far! Great sense of positive and negative space and beautiful use of light, she also was friendly, reliable and very professional. Plus, she got my photos back to me in a couple of days. I was very impressed.
Below, photos of a tiny room appearing much larger, one with a great use of light reflecting on a table, and wide-angle from one of my favorite projects.
She reached out to me via email, and I appreciated her subtle marketing skills that didn't try to sell me on her skills. What a find! I used her for 2 half-day shoots and I plan on using her for my next project to be completed in September.

Ellen is a talented photographer and a wonderfully kind person. She spent the afternoon at my condo, taking her time to thoroughly shoot each room. She clearly cares about her work and I was thrilled with the way the photos came out. I look forward to working with her in the future and would highly recommend her to any of my friends and family.

Ellen is a talented photographer who is a joy to work with! She is professional and easy going and is eager to get the best photos for the job. As a designer, I look for a photographer who understands what I do and can best show my work. Ellen does that --and is friendly and personable as well. I look forward to working with her again!

As a real estate agent, I work with photographers on a daily basis. Ellen was a DELIGHT. She was professional, timely and creative. Her work tends to be more "editorial" "architectural". I love her use of light to tell a story. Ellen has shot several high end homes for me and each time the seller was very pleased. You cannot go wrong with Ellen.

Ellen has taken many photos of my daughter and her friends over the years at school events, birthday parties, and more. Every time, I'm amazed at how gorgeous she makes everyone look. She has the ability to use natural light and the environment to show off her subjects amazingly.

Ellen has photographed a couple of projects for me, and I have been very pleased with her work. Her easygoing presence, collaborative spirit, and commitment to getting the best shots possible make her a dream to work with. Ellen truly has an artistic eye, and surprised me by setting up some wonderful detail shots of my work that have become favorites. Ellen is also a person that is easy to bring along to a client's house - she knows how to be unobtrusive, and I can feel confident that her conduct as she goes about her work reflects well on my firm. I will definitely be working with her again.

Ellen's done 4 different projects with me so far - love working with her and love her work. She couldn't be more pleasant and professional to work with - always willing to pitch in and make the shot a winner. I think the pictures speak for themselves - so well done - artistic, well composed, clear and most importantly - makes my design look the very best it can be ! Call Ellen - you won't regret it.
