about
The name is Ellene Yaus and I was born on the 27th of February in Stockton, California. I grew up in a big family-- the second youngest of nine children which means the house was always busy! From 1999 on, my home base is now in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
My dad would often capture memories of us with his film camera and video camcorder and with each passing year, I am always thankful for the memories that my dad captured. This was the root of my interest in photography. One of the first things I bought when I started working, was a point-and-shoot camera circa 2006. Eventually when I started branching into cosplay, I decided I wanted higher quality photos and purchased my first DSLR camera, a Canon Rebel T3. To this day, I still shoot with this camera.
My DSLR journey started with a lot of self-portraits. Then I expanded to photographing family and close friends. Nowadays I am looking forward to expanding my portfolio.
