It's me, Koos

Colour is my day-long obsession, joy and torment. – Claude Monet

My name is Christine Ellis, but friends, family and clients call me by my nickname, Koos. I am a photographic portrait artist in Port Orchard, Washington, specializing in hand embellished canvas portraits. I am known for creative infant portraiture and beautiful outdoor scenic family portraiture. My clients are individuals and families who enjoy displaying original artwork in their homes and who want to want to capture and celebrate the meaningful moments in their lives.

I am honored to be able to help you create these priceless albums and portraits for you and your friends to enjoy and for you to proudly pass down to your family for many generations. Thanks so much for your interest in having me create your portraits. I hope to provide you with some beautiful images that will warm your heart and make you smile each time you look at them. You are going to love your portraits and I look forward to starting them.

"When I say I want to photograph someone, what it really means is that I'd like to know them. Anyone I know, I photograph." - Annie Leibovitz
