Hello there,
My name is Ellen! I'm a Black Hills based entrepreneur, content creator, creative director, portrait specialist and landscape artist who is passionate about sharing ways on building a lifestyle by design.
13 years ago, I started my first photography business with the long term goal of solely wanting to create artwork from landscapes. I like to call them, windows to nature. Throughout this time, establishing a name for myself and the work I produce required dipping my toes into many realms of the photography industry including portrait, fashion, and commercial work. I was lucky enough to be published in Outside Magazine, win many different awards, and work with some incredible companies like Fabletics, Born Shoe, C4 Fabrication and more.
Even though the first decade of work I produced was heavily portrait based, I always had my eyes set on transitioning my brand over into landscape photography and artwork.
In 2019, I sold my very first massive landscape piece and that is when I realized, it is time to finally fulfill the long term goal of focusing my time and efforts into becoming a landscape photographer.
2 years later, landscape photography turned into my primary source of work. Looking back on myself at the ripe age of 15, I wouldn't have guessed this dream would come to a reality so quickly. I am incredibly grateful for all the travels, relationships, opportunities, failures and wins I had along the way.
My art business has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.
