Here at I am looking at Reframing from every possible angle. First, a literal reframing, I am repurposing old frames, mats and glass from thrift stores and free piles to showcase my photography. Second, is a cognitive reframing, a process by which I use positive mantras and affirming repetitive statements to reframe negative intrusive thoughts that have haunted me as long as I can remember. Using photography as my art therapy medium I try to take my tough emotions and try to find ways to express them visually. My favorite subjects come from growing anxieties surrounding climate change, equality, houselessness, and loneliness that led me to dumpsterscapes, street art, porches and tiny mushrooms. Using influences from hygge and wabi-sabi philosophies in the same style of photography I use in my portraiture work I hope to influence others to reframe as well.

About ElleHello There! I’m Elle, I am a Wedding, Portrait & Street Art Photographer currently located in Portland, Oregon. I am inspired by the simple moments and inanimate objects that color our world. Whether my subject is a newborn baby, a blushing bride, a small mushroom, or a colorful dumpster my intention is to always highlight its beauty.
I named my business Hygge {hue-guh} after a Danish design and lifestyle philosophy meaning to embody a sense of warmth, intimacy, charm & contentment. I use this philosophy in all aspects of my work. Even though a photojournalistic approach my objective is to capture those sweet hygge filled moments. I use a classic, minimalistic and timeless approach to editing and post-processing which gives extra life to these moments. I also aim to keep my costs affordable because while I believe photography is a priceless investment I also believe it should be accessible. If you don’t see a perfect fit in my price list please let me know what you’re looking for, I’m eager to work with you! If you enjoy my work and would like to work together, you can message me through the INQUIRE button below. WEDDING PACKAGES starting at $1000. learn more here |
