I’m Ellie Lafferty— a visually obsessed creative who thrives on people and story. I’m a photographer, filmmaker, cinematographer, and a reasonable dreamer.

My creative journey launched (literally) at sea—aboard a research vessel full of scientists and sailors—where I started making short films.

I’m a lover of all pastries, specifically chocolate croissants. I’m addicted to thrift shopping, weirdly good at making friends who own wineries, and I own more snorkeling goggles than necessary. I’m really bad at locking my front door and really good at setting things on top of my car and then driving away.

My perfect day: Rescuing baby turtles, drinking at least three lattes, finding someone’s wallet and safely returning it to them, ending it all with my toes in the sand (and hopefully the baby turtles).
