Fantastic!

by jscportland

I hired Ellie Winds to photograph my family at the Portland Rose Garden in November, 2008. Ms. Winds made us feel relaxed and at ease with her directions.

Furthermore, we were astonished at the amazing results of the final prints. She completely captured the essence of our family - the photoshoot was so fun! We're so happy with her work and will be hiring her again in the future.

• Pros: Professional, creative, easy-going, experienced
• Cons: None!

The Photo and The Story

by UrbaNomad

If you pause to consider Ellie's photographs individually, each image evokes a story. The broken formal chair cast aside in a dank warehouse reminds me of my favorite grand aunt whose life ended with dreams unfulfilled. My personal favorite is the black/brass staircase ('Don't Attempt While Drinking'). The vermillion and gold-hued passage guides one to the glow at the bottom, drawing the viewer in to the possibilities around the corner. It's 3-D magic in a 2-D medium! For me, Ellie captures moments that linger and refresh like a zephyr on a summer evening. If you ever consider using a professional photographer for an event, engage with Ellie... Her photography is art in its purest form.

• Pros: Professional yet personal, technical yet creative.
• Cons: There's only one of her.

Customer Service at its finest!

by snowbee1

A mutual friend referred Ellie. Ellie was available on very short notice. She arrived on time and stayed to make sure she was able to get everyone photographed as well as checked to see if there was anything else we wanted covered during the event. Ellie is very professional, personable and took excellent photos at my kids Grandma's 80th birthday party this past summer. The photos were easy to access on line, a wide variety of shots were taken and an added bonus was having the CD available with all the pictures. I highly recommend Elliewinds Photography for your next event.
