hi! I'm ella!

Photography started for me in the simplest way — with a camera bought for a trip back to Indonesia, where I’m originally from. What began as a way to document a place I love quickly turned into a deep appreciation for people, connection, and the stories that exist in between the big moments.
Today, my approach is rooted in creating a space where you can feel comfortable being fully yourself. I believe the best images come from genuine connection, not stiff poses or forced moments. I’ll gently guide when needed, step back when it matters most, and focus on capturing your story as it naturally unfolds.
I’m a people person at heart — I love conversation, laughter, and building real relationships with the people I work with. Whether I’m photographing couples, families, seniors, branding sessions, or weddings, my goal is always the same: to create imagery that feels honest, emotional, and true to you.
