Some of you know how much my sweet Ellie Mae meant to me — she left pawprints on my heart that will never fade. Inspired by her, I’ve started a new journey: Ells & Co Photography.

The name comes from Ellie, my soul dog, whose love and spirit taught me how powerful the bond between pets and people really is. She’s the “Ells” in Ells & Co, a constant reminder that the best photos aren’t posed or perfect—they’re the everyday moments filled with love, connection, and a little bit of beautiful chaos.

The “& Co” is for the rest of my pack—Bailey and Goose—and for every family, child, and pet I get the joy of photographing. My work is about blending those worlds together, capturing the wagging tails, giggles, and snuggles that make your story yours.

I believe your photos should feel like memories—warm, authentic, and timeless. Whether it’s a pup curled up at your feet, kids running wild in the yard, or a cozy cuddle on the couch, I want you to look back and feel those moments all over again.

Ellie gave me the “why,” and now Ells & Co is the “how”—celebrating the love stories between pets and their people.
