Our Story.
We're Ellie and George — a husband-and-wife photography team based in Linden, NJ, dedicated to capturing the moments that matter most.
Rooted in love,
driven by story.
Hi — we're Ellie and George, a husband-and-wife team passionate about photography and the stories families carry with them. We started Ellie's Heartstrings because we believe every family deserves images that feel authentic, not posed — photographs that reflect real love, real laughter, and real connection.
Based in Linden, NJ, we serve families across Union County and surrounding communities. Whether you're expecting your first child, welcoming a newborn, or simply want to freeze this season of your family's life — we're here for it.
When we're not behind the camera, we're a family ourselves — which means we understand the chaos, the tenderness, and the beauty of these moments better than anyone.
Work With UsThe values behind
every session.
These aren't just words — they're the principles that guide how we shoot, how we edit, and how we work with every family we meet.
We chase real moments — a genuine laugh, a quiet glance, a hand held tight. No stiff poses, ever.
We move at your family's pace. Babies nap, toddlers run — we work with it, not against it.
Our editing style is warm and natural — images that will look just as beautiful in 30 years as they do today.
Local to Linden,
here for you.
We photograph families across Linden, Elizabeth, Rahway, Westfield, Cranford, and all of Union County. Sessions take place at parks, beaches, your home, or any location that feels like you.
