Meet Ellie in Florence

(409)

I am Texas born and raised, though my heart and life is in Florence, Italy. I am passionate about embracing life wholeheartedly, finding reasons to laugh, and pursuing creativity and authenticity. From street photography in Brooklyn to documenting quarantine time in Florence, I enjoy becoming immersed in an environment and capturing life. With a studio art background, I love seeking out color palettes, interesting lighting/textures/compositions and finding the beauty within the mundane. I love allowing a shoot to transform into what it needs to be, letting the moment be fluid and genuine, and truly capturing a moment in time. My hope is to convey the essence of the people I am photographing and use my camera to translate their unique qualities and aspects of their relationships that make them, them!

    Languages Spoken: English and conversational Italian

    Favorite Place to Shoot: The Oltrarno tends to be less crowded, and more "off the beaten path" (plus it has some of my favorite cafes and gelaterias, so I am never opposed to a pit stop).

Three Things

  1. I love to explore the city and its surrounding jewels. Almost nothing brings me more joy than spending a Saturday going to a local market and seeing the work and produce of local artisans/vendors. Whether it’s a vintage store, flea market, or antique shop, I also love hunting for unique pieces of clothing and decor, just waiting to live another life. And of course, being in the epicenter of the Renaissance, I am never opposed to going to a museum or wandering into a historic church or garden. If I’m feeling more adventurous, I love exploring the outdoors, biking, rock climbing, etc. If it’s more of a rainy day, you’ll find me working with my hands, sewing, drawing or painting. On a Friday evening, I love any outdoor live music and sharing an aperitivo followed by a long dinner with my friends. Enjoying the daily joys of life!
  2. I cannot live without my morning coffee (admittedly also usually my afternoon macchiato).
  3. I once decided to do stand up comedy in Austin, TX. In case you were wondering, yes - it was a disaster. I haven’t decided if I did this to make a fool of myself or simply to have a fun fact, but, hey, look now!

Ellie was fantastic! She took sunrise photos for my proposal in Florence, and they turned out perfect. She was super easy to communicate with, very nice and instructive, and helpful with the planning details. We had let her know that we prefer her to instruct us how to pose in the other photos, and she was very helpful during the process. It felt very natural and not awkward at all. I highly recommend her!
