Little Lamb Design is a unique company that offers custom portraiture as well as high-quality personalized paper goods. In the spring of 2008, two photography and desgin veterans decided to combine their businesses, experience, and talents to form this very special venture.

Stella Schreiber

In 1997, Stella combined her life passion of art and photography with her love of children by beginning a career as a professional photographer. Located in Birmingham, AL, aptly named "Stella Schreiber Photography" began as a one-person mission to provide customers with beautiful, unique portraits of clients of all ages that truly capture the personalities of the subjects.

With over a decade in experience and a growing client list, Stella recently moved her passion into a full-time business with Ellen Gillespie in order to better serve her clients. This new partnership, titled "Little Lamb Design," includes Stella's services as a photographer.

She and her husband enjoy nature's wonders, and can be found on Virginias Eastern Shore fishing, swimming, and sailing. She loves spending time with her family, which includes three teenagers and a shedding golden retriever.

Ellen Gillespie

Ellen officially began her design and stationery company in 2005 when she felt God's calling in her life to step out on faith, leave her career in sales, and begin to use her design talents full-time (but to still be able to have a flexible work schedule to accomodate the demands of her growing family).

Ellen's sons, known as her "Little Lambs," were the inspiration for the company name. Between her unbelievably supportive husband and years of very little sleep at night, she has transformed her home-based business into a full-fledged stationery production company with clients throughout the world.

Ellen loves: Her Heavenly Father, her precious family, creating anything, traveling, baseball (particularly the teams her boys play on), and reading magazines, and even sweeping up after her shedding golden retriever.
