THE ELLIE BE MANIFESTO

Photography for the people who:
snuggle under blankets
stargaze until the wee hours of the morning
enjoy eating good food
love to explore off the beaten path
& love movie nights at home.

Photography for those who:
love passionately and deeply
think life is an adventure, something to be savored and lived well
participate in family traditions
& add on some of their own.

Photography for those who:
believe in authenticity
take great risks
step confidently in the direction of their dreams
& are simply, utterly, beautifully, *human.*

There's something so special about bringing your closest friends and family to your HOME and celebrating marriage. I can't wait to blog this backyard wedding. 😍 #elliebephotographs
In a world where brokenness is staring us in the face, I want to be someone who represents love well. Not just in word, but in action. @hillsongunited lyrics that have been on repeat in my head, "I can see Your heart eight billion different ways, every precious one a child You died to save, if You gave Your life to love them so will I." People are important. They matter, you matter, and there's nothing that can change that. 💛
I'm spending the day at @foolishcoffee (duh) catching up on some editing, but I'm constantly being distracted because people-watching is a real problem for me. It's so good to be reminded that we're all human, taking it one day at a time. #elliebephotographs
I have a big idea that I've been sitting on for a few months. I haven't moved forward with it because honestly, I'm afraid. I'm afraid I'll follow through with it wrong. I'm afraid the outcome won't be what I want it to be. I'm afraid it will fail. And today the Lord said to me something that's been coming up a lot this year, "Be willing and obedient. The outcome is up to Me." Talk about the pressure coming off my shoulders. It's not about our perfection with God, it's about our obedience. Faith. Boldness. There is nothing He cannot do and He loves nothing more than including us in His work. "And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up." (Galatians 6:9)
