Ellario values adventure & experience over all else, and celebrate uniqueness and inclusivity for all. If you are a human, you are welcome here.
Welcome to the thing that keeps me up at night. I hope you came thirsty.

I'm Sherri
LET ME DISCOVER YOU
Regardless of how we know one other or if you just stumbled into this space for the first time, I am just so happy you're here.
My name is Sherri & I am the very busy, very blessed, lead photographer and owner of Ellario Photography.
I believe that "the greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return," and that is my mantra behind each client experience. We all have something brilliantly unique to offer each other - please know that I came to learn from you too. If this resonates with you, it is no mistake you're here.
Art is generally subjective, but it is also deeply personal and like thumbprints, no two stories are the same. If you came here seeking someone to tell a Pinterest story about how perfect life is, I am not your girl. But if you came here looking for the just-right creative to capture the way something feels in color, it is my pleasure to meet you.
All it takes is a little bit of honey + a healthy dose of creativity to bring your story to life, so if you came here seeking permission to tell it,
you have it.

When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.

THE MOST WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!

"Ellario Photography went above and beyond for our family session! She was so warm and fun throughout the whole shoot and provided great direction to help me feel beautiful and confident. She was so committed and brought such amazing ideas for natural & candid shots. She allowed me to feel comfortable and gorgeous in my own skin at 35 weeks pregnant. The gallery we received is absolutely stunning and has the perfect mix of family love, romance, portrait, & playfulness, with the most gorgeous tones and colors. I would recommend Ellario to anyone looking for a family, lifestyle, or maternity photographer!"
