Hey, I’m Ellen!

 

A landscape photographer, creative director, and entrepreneur based in the Black Hills of South Dakota. For over 15 years, I’ve been on a journey to turn my deep love for wild places into timeless, tangible art. Today, I specialize in creating fine art landscape photography that helps people bring intention, beauty, and calm into their spaces.

​

I like to think of my work as windows to nature — large-scale, immersive pieces that allow you to pause and reconnect with the land, no matter where you are.

​

While my early career took me through many corners of the photography industry — from portraits and fashion to commercial campaigns for brands like Fabletics, Born Shoes, and C4 Fabrication — I always knew I’d come home to the landscapes. In 2019, I sold my first large-format canvas print, and everything changed. That moment marked the beginning of my shift into full-time landscape work, and since then, I’ve never looked back.

​

Today, my focus is clear: I create artwork designed to transform homes, offices, and commercial spaces into places of warmth, depth, and connection. My pieces are true to nature — dramatic, moody, and honest — printed on high-end materials like float-framed canvas, metal, and archival paper. Whether you’re curating a gallery wall, decorating your home, or outfitting a professional space, I’m here to help you find art that resonates on a personal level.

​

Every image I create comes from time spent in the field — chasing storms, hiking canyons, waiting for that one perfect moment. And it means the world to me when those moments go on to live in your spaces.

​

Thanks for being here — I hope my work brings a sense of peace, joy, and presence into your everyday.
