I’m Ellie — specialist family photographer in Harlow. I create relaxed, timeless portraits in my Parndon Mill studio or on location, using a curated wardrobe and gentle direction.
Hi — I’m Ellie, a specialist family photographer based in Harlow. With a degree in photography and hands‑on experience from creative commercial work to newborn workshops, I focus on capturing honest, lasting family moments rather than stiff, posed images. My aim is to deliver warm, timeless portraits that feel natural and true to your family. Why choose me? I bring a background in luxury fashion photography and retouching together with a gentle, conversational approach that helps everyone — from toddlers to grandparents — feel comfortable in front of the camera. Whether it’s playful, candid moments between siblings or the quiet closeness of a new baby in arms, I look for the small gestures and real connections that make each shoot unique. How I work: Sessions are tailored and relaxed. You’ll receive a welcome pack with styling advice and details about the shoot so you can arrive feeling prepared. My Parndon Mill studio in Harlow is cosy and calm, stocked with a curated wardrobe of blankets, wraps, outfits and handmade props you’re welcome to use. Light refreshments and on‑site parking make the experience easy for families. I also offer on‑location shoots if you prefer your favourite park or a meaningful family spot. During the session I guide gently, encouraging natural interaction rather than forced smiles. After the shoot you’ll get a personalised online viewing gallery where you can choose favourite images. I provide professional edits in both colour and black & white, and can help with print or digital options to suit how you want to display your photos. My style is simple and timeless — I aim to create images that will look as beautiful in years to come as they do today. From family portraits and children's sessions to newborn images incorporated into family galleries, I specialise in photographing the full, imperfect, joyful story of family life in and around Harlow. If you’re looking for a relaxed photographer who puts family first and crafts lasting portraits with care, I’d love to meet you at my Parndon Mill studio. Ellie x
