Whimsical Family Mini-Sessions at Mediterranean Villa

We are excited to be hosting our annual Family Mini-Sessions at The Neighborhood Church! We believe 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 want to take photos, call us to schedule your family session! We are so excited to see all of our friends and families!

Mediterranean Villa at The Neighborhood Church has an upscale vibe that creates fairytale backdrops. Featuring a hallway of arches overlooking the cliffs of Palos Verdes, a bridge over a waterfall that feels like you're walking through the Mediterranean, and a cobblestone wall with a beautiful wrought Iron gate, The Neighborhood Church is a magical place to have your family mini session this year. We can't wait to see you and your family at our Mini-Sessions this year!

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!

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.
