Meet Elle.

Holy moly as if this has all come to life!

Hellooo!!

I’m Elle- the face behind the camera. I’m currently living the dream on the Ningaloo swimming with all my fav ocean critters with my fav humans! I grew up in Blundstones walking through endless paddocks of wheat and sheep and was petrified to swim in the deep end of the pool, which is quite ironic considering I swim for a job now and am constantly surrounded by the water.

I bloody LOVE a good matcha, smoothie bowl and veggie wraps (with extra sauces), and if you don’t find me having a cuppa, swimming or teaching pilates, you’ll probably find me walking around barefoot in an oversized shirt (as pictured lol).

I’ve always loved taking photos but never realised that this could be a job, and to be completely honest, I definitely didn’t think I’d be doing this for work haha. The camera collection over the years has had some pretty major improvements, starting out with a good ol’ hot pink digicam back in ‘07 (thank you Santa). I’m now shooting with Fujifilm, which is honestly the ultimate dream and a full circle moment considering one of the first film rolls I ever shot was Fujifilm!

My mission is to inspire & connect people through my photos. Whether it be underwater photos, film, portraits, landscape- I hope you feel some emotion and it ignites something inside of you.

I feel super grateful that I’ve met some amazing humans through photography, you all kind of gravitate to one another. Everyone has their own crazy stories, style, ideas, adventures, dreams - it’s so damn inspiring.

It’s pretty cool when you start listening to your gut and paving your own path. I hope my story can empower people and encourage them to trust in themselves. Life is so weird and wonderful.

Anywayyyyy, thank you so much for checking out this small-town country gals website full of mermaid (and non-mermaid) adventures.

Stay tuned and hope you love the magic! xx
