Rebecca Ellison Photography bio picture
  • it’s the little things…

    I'm a bit goofy and always ready to have a good time - I love making clients laugh...it just so happens it's usually at me and some random thing I am doing to get "the shot" - If it's nice outside, I guarantee I will be found sitting in a patch of sunlight soaking in the rays - I tend to miss speak right when I am trying to be sassy, ... so I just end up sounding silly - I love all the noises a new baby makes be it cute or gross - My socks never match and I am proud of it - I avoid cleaning the bathroom like it's the plague. It comes from growing up with two brothers and always being on bathroom duty - I found out the hard way that garlic does NOT compliment everything... and now my husband doesn't let me in the kitchen unsupervised - I still get giddy and jittery before every wedding I photograph - I once thought the biggest gift of being self employed was making my own hours, now I know it's the luxury it gives me to raise my son (born April 2011) without the need of daycare - I love riding my bike, but don't have the constitution to make myself work out regularly - I believe that following your dream is not the easiest path but is definitely the most rewarding one. My dreams since I was 18 was to find the man of my dreams (check), raise a family (check) and create images for a living (check) - oh... and if you want to make me laugh, tell me a poop joke. Works EVERY time.

Beautiful+Radiant: Michelle

This past weekend Michelle and I went out and about through the allyways of Eastlake to take pictures. I find my eye always drawn to the beauty of urban decay. I know, it sounds weird, but I love the look of a slightly forgotten place and then to put in a beautiful person as the subject to that background… I love the contrast! Michelle was down with this idea for her headshots. I gotta give this girl credit, because she had been in a car accident the night before that totalled her car, but she didn’t want to reschedule her shoot. She was determined to do something that would make her remember the weekend and smile instead of cringe in remembering about her car. So, sore and everything, she brought her heels and her smile and we ran around Eastlake and then headed down to the Columbia City Library to finish our session.

We stopped for lunch (and had some amazing calzones!), but¬† I don’t remember what the name of the restaurant was… and she just started playing with her necklace. She indulged me while I was like OOOOHHHHHH hold that!!¬†re_090404_0733re_090404_0756re_090404_0771re_090404_0802re_090404_0822Thanks Michelle, you were such a doll to photograph!
