A Little About Me
Hey there!
I’m Ellie, a photographer, horse rider, farm worker, adventure seeker & lover of the bush.
I love the timeless beauty that can be found in the everyday moments of rural life. Growing up on a farm in WA’s wheatbelt would be a major contributing factor to that, right from a young age I’ve been fascinated with photo taking and over the years it’s grown into more of an appreciation for documenting the everyday, the good times and the bad, and just genuine moments that otherwise slip away unnoticed.
Working on a farm also gives me a good understanding of how rural life works, and I love bringing to life what I see on a day to day basis in a candid & meaningful way.
