I see the light!

About Me

I'm a photographer, mom, wife and various other hats I wear. I love to shoot (photography) and post in my blog the latest pieces I've done. Most my friends on here are other photographers so I'm more laid back and less business.
I have a website here: www.ellis-photo.com
and the wedding one is here: www.myohioweddingphotographer.com
To contact me about my services please use the [email protected] e-mail.
Thank You

My Interests

I spend most of my time between my kids, and photography. I constantly have to be creating which gets me starting a bunch of projects. I kind of go nuts when I'm not creating in some sort of medium and I like to switch it up. Some fo these mediums include sewing, jewelry making and tolle paintng. Some of these items I even ave for sale over at Etsy.com. There is a link by my comments box below.

I'd like to meet:

Friends, mothers, other photographers, people in general. If you message me and have not friended me please note that if you have your settings so that non-friends messages don't come through I won't be able to respond.

MM#: 114800

Music:

I shoot with a Nikon D200, and a D80 as a backup. I'm trying to save for the D3. I use an SB-800 flash. I like to use it wireless, especially shooting weddings. I don't carry strobes around and primarily try and stick to natural light.

Movies:

I like to watch movies except for horror and torture movies. I don't find watching people suffer a form of entertainment. I have had a family member murdered and one almost murdered by the great Bundy and find it rather wrong people want to glorify that.

Television:

Desperate Housewives, Medium, Lost, Grey's Anatomy, October Road

Books:

Read?! Are you kidding me, when am I supposed to do that? With three kids I find it hard to keep up on a book list. I do try and read and the current book I'm reading is the Time Travelers Wife.

Heroes:

Annie leibovitz, Mary Ellen Mark, Dave Bialorucki, Maya Angelou, Maggie Estep, Sally Mann, Quinn Lieberman, Florence McEwin, Bart Fetz, Spencer Cunningham, Jeff Beach, John Williamson, Susan O'Shea, Kyle White, Jessica Meyer... All my friends and connections are my heroes. They all give me something wonderful that shapes who I am.
