Holiday Mini Sessions at Fairytale Cliffs

We are hosting our annual holiday mini-sessions at Fairytale Cliffs! We believe that every family should have a professional portrait at the end of each year. It’s a great way to remember who you are in the most beautiful way possible. If you are looking to take your family photos reach out to us and schedule your family session! We are so excited to see all of our friends and families!

There is such a beautiful breath of fresh air at The Fairytale Cliffs. In every direction you turn, you feel the beauty of nature and catch the glistening waves of the ocean from afar. What most people love about this location is the overhead view of Lunada Bay Cove while also viewing the cascading cliffs of Palos Verdes. We are very excited to take photos of your family at the Fairytale cliffs in Palos Verdes!

Ellie is such an amazing photographer and I cannot recommend her enough. We booked a mini session for our holiday card photos and she took the most wonderful photos of my 5 year old son, husband, and me. They were the best family photos we have gotten thus far from any photographer and she captured all of us so well, especially my 5 year old - there were no weird smile faces and she magically got him to smile and look like a regular person in photos which is a major feat. She also turned around the photos very quickly so we could use them for our holiday card. She is a pleasure to work with and I can say that we will be using Ellie going forward for all photos - she's the best!

Ellie Fuqua

Luxury Photographer, Fairytale Storyteller

Hi, I'm Ellie, a dreamer, and lover of romantic moments and unrelenting connections.

In my 15 years of photographing weddings, my interest in photography has grown from simply making pretty pictures -to creating the most wonderful and powerful moments for kind and loving people, all the while capturing those permanent memories.

It is a dream come true to create awe-inspiring imagery to match your unforgettable moments and I hope that by creating your wedding imagery together, we can make your wedding dreams come true too.

Sometimes I cant even believe this is real life.

The fact that I get to be in these magical places so often, it becomes part of daily life and I can`t belive it. When I talk about it I often have to re-rememember that this isn`t normal and im incredibly lucky to see magic endlessly.

Anyways, visit the Colombia Gorge. Its the most magical place.

Details. Gosh I love them. I have been a tiny details person my whole life: loving making bracelets, tiny crafts and all the tiniest things I could think of with my hands. Its what makes capturing the details of a wedding day even more special.

I`m in full support of how a bride and groom want their day captured, and I`m commonly seeing many choose candid moments over detail shots more recently. I totallyl get it! But I really do crave these detail shots. It brings me back to my roots. Its a totally different part of the story that sings to me and something I have always cherished. So when I do have the time and intention to spend on these really special little elements, -I- get to be in MY element and see the side of the day that was planned deeply and intentionally.

These are some of my favorite pieces to the day, not just because they are designed with care, but because these are the little parts that were sat over with the magic of imagination for the day; the physical items that were enchanted through the hope of a new beginning and the dreaming of the most magical moments. A day isnt as special without the dreaming and longing for those sweet sweet visions of whats to come.
