Telling tales from the heart of the PNW
With me as your photographer this is your
This experience is rooted in connection and presence. From the moment we begin, it’s about showing up exactly as you are and being fully present with each other. There’s no pressure to perform or get it perfect. I care more about how it felt than how it looked.
Our time together is slow, intentional, and easy — centered on real moments and honest emotion. You can expect images that feel romantic, lived-in, and true to the season you’re in.

Once you reach out, that’s where it all begins. You can expect a thoughtful response from me where I’ll walk you through availability, package options, and what working together truly feels like. This step is simply about starting the conversation and seeing if we’re the right fit. No pressure, just connection.
This is where your story starts to take shape. I love learning about your relationship, the feeling you’re drawn to, and how you want these moments to live on. Together we’ll choose a date and location that feels natural and meaningful to you. Whether it’s somewhere scenic or somewhere deeply personal, I’ll help guide the planning so everything feels intentional and true to who you are.
Once the details are set, I’ll send over your client portal where everything comes together. You’ll fill out a questionnaire so I can get to know you even more, review and sign your contract, and submit your retainer to officially reserve your date. From there, you’re fully booked and we begin the slow, excited countdown to your session.
Let’s capture your story, etched in time and woven with love.

Once your booking is complete and all is set, I’ll dive into the exciting part! From here, every detail will be thoughtfully shaped to reflect your unique vision, ensuring an experience that feels truly personal and unforgettable.
My process
Once your booking is complete and all is set, I’ll dive into the exciting part! From here, every detail will be thoughtfully shaped to reflect your unique vision, ensuring an experience that feels truly personal and unforgettable.
From the very first connection, my goal is to truly get to know you. I want to understand who you are together, what your relationship feels like, and what matters most to you. We’ll talk about your story, your vision, and the little things that make your connection yours so I can capture it honestly. Once your contract is signed and the retainer is paid, your session is officially booked and that’s when the real fun begins.
After you’re fully booked, we stay in touch leading up to your session, dreaming everything up together. We’ll talk through outfits, locations, and the feeling you want to have when you look back at your gallery years from now. We’ll dive into what feels most meaningful to you and how we can personalize your session so it feels natural and true to who you are. My goal is always to bring your dream session to life in a way that feels easy and intentional. I want you to walk away from our early conversations feeling excited, comfortable, and cared for.
As your session gets closer, the excitement tends to build and sometimes the nerves sneak in too. About four days before your session, I’ll reach out to check in and see if you have any last minute questions. We’ll confirm outfits, finalize details, and I’ll create a playlist just for you based on what you’ve shared with me. Music has a way of setting the tone and helping everything slow down, and I want you to feel comfortable and present from the very start.
On the day of your session, we’ll meet at our confirmed spot and ease right into it. I’ll guide you throughout the entire session, so you never have to wonder what to do or how to move. There’s no pressure to feel perfect and no need to perform for the camera. Whatever you do is already enough. I give prompts rather than poses, and there’s no one size fits all approach. I love leaning into what feels right for you and your relationship.
I want this to feel collaborative and relaxed. If there’s something you’ve been dreaming of or a moment you know you want captured, I always want to hear it. Throughout the session, I keep things conversational, learning more about your relationship and who you are as individuals. Think of it less like a photoshoot and more like a date, with me quietly there to capture it all.
After your session, I’ll send you 10 to 15 preview images within 48 hours so you can relive it while it’s still fresh. I love sharing that excitement with you and giving you a little peek while the full gallery comes together. From there, I’ll spend the next six weeks carefully editing and refining your images with intention and care. Six weeks after your session, you’ll receive your final gallery, ready to be shared, printed, saved, and revisited whenever you want to step back into that moment.

In Their Words
"I honestly cannot recommend Ellyse enough. Not only does she capture the most special candid moments in the most beautiful way, she also makes it such a fun experience. She is so easy to work with and takes any and all awkwardness out of getting your pictures taken. And she is also the sweetest soul. My husband and I are no models and very awkward people when it comes to posing for pictures, but every single time I get a gallery back from her, talk about a confidence BOOST! She is so talented behind the camera. She has done my engagement photos, she did my wedding, and we just shot my maternity photos. And I will definitely be having her do our family photos. If you want pictures you are going to love to look at for the rest of your life, 1000/10 recommend getting pictures done by her! You won’t regret it!"

In Their Words
"I have worked with Ellyse several times now, and every time she has absolutely blown me away with her talent!! She has an eye for detail like no other and manages to not only capture the people in the photo but also the little candid moments in between. She also has a way of making you feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera. Taking photos can be a bit intimidating, but her kindness, humor, and fun posing prompts completely take that off your mind and allow you to relax and just be yourself. What truly sets her apart from other photographers is that she doesn’t just capture smiles—she tells a story with her images, one you can look back on and cherish forever. I will forever be OBSESSED with her work and will continue to have her document my memories for the years to come!"

In Their Words
"Truly, the best photography session we’ve ever had. My husband and I wanted some engagement photos taken, and Ellyse went above and beyond my expectations. I’ve always felt awkward on camera, but she made sure we were comfortable and ourselves, and it came through in the results. We are in love with our photos, and every time we have guests over and see some of them framed we get compliments. We are so glad we found her, she’s a talented photographer!"
