Be You Portraits

I thought we had hired a sweet lady who was a photographer. We found out that Ellen is not just a deeply skilled photographer; she is an artist. Our daughter — who can be a bit shy — loved the experience of having her senior photos taken by Ellen. The results are… it’s beyond words. These aren’t photos of my kid, they’re like treasures, each one of them. I feel so lucky that my daughter found Ellen through a friend of hers.
Ellen has a kind, positive, gentle manner that put us all at ease from the moment we met her. Seeing the photos its plain to see that her personality is one of the reasons she is able to draw the deepest beauty out of her subjects. My daughter is beautiful; but Ellen captured moments of her inner beauty, ones that are rarely caught on film. Its really amazing.
Some people might find Ellen expensive, depending on what they want. I have dealt with professional photographers before, and her prices aren’t just competitive for what she does, they are *inexpensive* given the end product. She is worth every single penny. She also worked with us to make sure what we wanted fit into the most affordable package she offered.
If anyone I know wants a professional portrait done, I’m sending them to Ellen. She has a fan for life.

I can’t even begin to tell you how pleased I am with the experience we have had with Ellen! If you are looking for beautiful photos you MUST go to Beautiful You Portraits. She is such a talented photographer, with a true passion for what she does. She made the experience go so smoothly, and that is something I wasn’t expecting considering her subject was a 5 month old. :) I felt like she truly cared about our family and really captured our daughter’s personality. A+++++++!

My wife and I spent many months trying to find a good photographer to take our baby daughter’s first professional photographs, and we absolutely found it in Beautiful You.
The owner and photographer, Ellen, really made us comfortable. She took the time to get to know our five month old daughter before taking any pictures, and worked out what we were expecting from the photo shoot. Over the next two hours we shot dozens of pictures in five or six different poses. Ellen was patient when our daughter got hungry, and was excellent at playing with our daughter to make her smile.
A week later we got to see the proofs, and they were fantastic. Ellen really managed to capture our daughter’s blossoming personality, and was genuinely excited to show us what pictures she had taken. We are now waiting on our prints, which were reasonably priced and of which there are plentiful options.
There’s no doubt we’ll be going back to Ellen many times as our family grows. It is more like going to see one of your friends to have pictures taken than going to a faceless studio.

I am so pleased with my son’s senior portraits. They are amazing and she was able to capture his personality. We went back and had our family photo session and had individual photos taken. Ellen is fantastic!
