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.

Justine and Mikael | Engaged


These two like to laugh…. a lot! And  I love it. Their personalities are contagious and you can’t help but laugh along with them! These two have such a relaxed demeanor about them that you can tell that they have been by each others side for a long long time. They met in high school and have been laughing together ever since.

We met last weekend at the Ballard Locks and roamed around. It must have been prom weekend as there were TONS of giggly high school girls in prom dresses having a great time, which brought up the conversation of prom dates… and guess what. Justine was Mikaels! Love it.

The light was beautiful after a day of questionable weather  changes, and I had such a great time roaming around with these guys that I can’t wait for their August wedding!

Karine - Woot woot! Great lighting and use of asymmetry of the landscape! I like to see you branching out trying new shots! They’re super creative! :)

Karen Skillings - I was worried at first that the shots would all be so far away to include the backgrounds. I was happy to see the combination of distant, close-up and in between. Great expressions!

Samantha Fuskerud - Love the bridge one. So many great pictures, places & angles! I adore the shadow of walking in the park. Like the lighting under the tree picture. And the one of you guys in the tree-awesome! I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, but the one of you two lying on the grass looks like the scene from twilight-so romantic. The close up on the telephone booth is cool and the black & white or gray picture of you two walking is beautiful too! Congratulations you guys!

Jennifer Williams (bridesmaid) - Beautimous pictures! The tree one makes me kinda sad though…It’s a cool tree, but you guys are so far away from each other.
