Wedding & Portrait Photographer
capturing beautiful moments
Based in El Paso TX
southwest photographer & worldwide
​
Hello, I’m Ella Grace! I Never planned on becoming a photographer. As God put photography on my heart more and more it just made sense. My journey started when I moved to Nashville Tennessee. From growing up in El Paso, Texas to moving to Nashville as a missionary being involved with a church. Living in Nashville I was able to study & learn under multiple photographers, slowly falling in love with the art in many ways. It became clear this is what I wanted to do the rest of my life, this is my passion. To be a part of people’s most cherished moments capturing meaningful images that will last a lifetime. Hope to be a part of YOUR journey in capturing special moments in your life.

MY JOURNEY
As the sole photographer of LionLamb Photography. The purpose of the name ‘LionLamb’ is how I pronounced my last name growing up. My family ‘roars’ like a Iion and ‘baahs’ like a lamb. I never planned to become a photographer, but once I moved to Nashville it was made clear to pursue it as a career. ‘LionLamb’ might reflect my last name but it also reflects who I follow.
Welcome to my journey of capturing memories in the making!
Some of My Favorite Things
I. A good book
II. Matcha Latte
III. Horseback Trail Riding
IV. Rock Climbing
V. Traveling
VI. Learning Other Languages
VII. Flowers
These are just some of my favorite things that fuel my love for photography and push me to continually grow creatively in my work. From reading a book with an iced Matcha latte, to traveling North America, these moments grow my passion ever more to capture the uniqueness of God’s creation.
From studying under different photographers, I have learned so much along the way. The church I was involved in was just the spark for my love of photography. From the first photography class to later shadowing & studying under wedding photographers in Nashville, I have grown tremendously in my creative journey. Never do I want to stop learning. Whitney Woodall was one of the most impactful in my photographic journey as she was the first one to say yes & let me shadow her. I am so thankful to the many that contributed to sowing into my career.
Being surrounded by many different creatives that love Jesus, has inspired me to create & capture beautiful stories that have true character. I am so thankful that I have this ability to pursue my photographic passion!
What does a photographer do?
Have you ever wondered what the process a photographer goes through to deliver your photos?
​
​
THE PROCESS:
I. Contact and schedule a photoshoot session
II. Prepare equipment & commute to the location
III. Take the photos
IV. Save & secure images
V. Edit & process the images
VI. Deliver beautiful photos to you
Depending on what event, portrait session, or how many photos a client has, the photo process can range from as little as 5 hours to 15 + hours of work. Each project you pay for is a process. I delight in taking photos, managing/organizing my work, editing them in the most authentic & beautiful way. Making it enjoyable and comfortable along the way.
Every photographer has their own style of photography, so let me describe mine. For events, I love to capture and document what is taking place, freezing time itself in a single photograph. Leading people along the way to capture beautiful formal pictures they will have the rest of their lives.
For portrait sessions, whether family, couples, babies, seniors, etc... I just give a gentle leading hand guiding them along the way so they will get there desired images. I want people to see their true selves, all I do is try to make the process as comfortable and natural as possible. None of us want to look back in 10 years and think ‘that was a cringy pose, why did I do that’?
My editing style is just to enhance what is already there. I want it to look as natural as possible, adding to the picture, not making it something completely different.
This is my passion, I love what I do, I hope we can work together soon!
