Hey, I'm Ellie.

it's so nice to meet you

Meet the photographer behind Summit View Photography, currently based in Seattle. My love for photography began early — around age ten — when I borrowed my mom’s camera and fell so hard for the art that I simply never gave it back. From that moment on, photography became more than a hobby. It grew into a steady passion that has shaped how I explore, connect, and create. Originally from the Midwest, I carry with me a deep appreciation for simplicity, authenticity, and heartfelt storytelling.

My Story



Whether I’m capturing families, pets, moments in nature, or the quiet in-between details, my goal is always the same: to freeze real, meaningful glimpses of life — the kind you’ll want to keep forever.


"Ellie was not only an incredible photographer to work with, but also an amazing director during our couples shoot. If you’re looking for striking photos where you can truly feel the love and emotion radiating from them, she’s your girl!"

"I have very little experience in front of the camera, but Ellie made both me and my partner feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful. She gave us clear, natural direction with posing and captured exactly what we were hoping for. She listened carefully to our requests and was also able to pivot creatively in the moment, taking full advantage of beautiful lighting and unique features at our outdoor location."

Natalie B.

"I truly couldn’t recommend her more. Ellie is such a creative soul and delivered portraits we will cherish for many years to come. Thank you, Ellie!"

Leah B.

"Ellie beautifully captured every special moment of our wedding day. She had an amazing sense of when to offer guidance to our wedding party and when to quietly step back to document the most natural, candid moments. The photos turned out beyond incredible, and we'd love to book with her again in the future!"
