ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Emily!
Fueled by a love for connection, vibrant lighting, and candid close-ups, I capture memories that make you pause and smile. As a mom, I know how quickly time passes, which is why I’m passionate about preserving those fleeting moments in a way that feels natural and timeless.
My love for photography began with my first camera in middle school, and after five years of service in the Air Force, I returned to this passion with a focus on creating legacy images. I believe photos should do more than live in the cloud—they should fill your home with warmth and joy.
That’s why I guide you from outfit planning to designing custom wall art, ensuring your memories are beautifully framed and ready to display. Let’s create something meaningful together—images that celebrate your story and bring love to your walls for years to come!
PORTFOLIO
THE EXPERIENCE
THE FULL SERVICE EXPERIENCE
STEP ONE- Let's Chat!
After the call, if you decide to book, we'll schedule your design consultation! This is where we will deep dive on your vision, style your outfits, choose a location and chat about what products (prints, custom wall art, or albums) you can see yourself enjoying!
STEP TWO - DESIGN CONSULTATION
Get in touch! We always hop on a call with potential clients to ensure we fully understand your vision and share how we can serve you! Please inquire via our contact form.
STEP THREE - THE SESSION
The big day where it all comes together! We will meet at our chosen location for your session. While we will take some posed shots, the best photos are often the candid ones. My goal is always to create a relaxed atmosphere that lets the special moments of your relationships shine through.
STEP FOUR - PRESERVATION
FRAMED WALL ART, HEIRLOOM ALBUMS, PRINTS
After your session we will have a reveal session to go through the photos. You choose which images you want to have master retouched and preserved in custom prints, albums, or framed wall art. You will also receive the digital file for any selected photos. Within a couple weeks of your session your order will be ready to display in your home!
PRINTS & Products
Custom framed, backed, matted, and ready for your wall. With over 38 frame options, we guide you through the design process to help select the best option for where this will hang in your home!
These are favorites and so practical. Whether placing them into frames you have, or displaying them on shelves around the home, these thick prints are so versatile.
For those wanting a beautiful, linen or leather bound album of 25+ images, our heirloom albums showcase the beauty of this time perfectly. They are handcrafted and custom designed.
KIND WORDS
The RAO FAMILY
Our pictures turned out amazing, and we are so excited to print them out!
We loved taking pictures with Emily! She was so patient with my newborn son and me, and had such good ideas for poses. She was also awesome at choosing spots to take pictures based on the background and where the sunlight was. We will definitely be having her take more pictures in the future.
The De LOS REYES FAMILY
She knows how to make a family feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera.
Emily is a fantastic family photographer! She knows how to make a family feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. And she was able to capture a few smiles on our “no smiles” toddler. A gem!
10/10 recommend.
The BURNS FAMILY
Emily has an incredible eye for detail, capturing moments that were not only visually stunning but also deeply meaningful. She made the experience so much fun for us, creating a relaxed atmosphere that put us all at ease—even our 3-month-old son! She was incredibly patient and her warmth made it a truly enjoyable experience. Emily also took the time to understand my vision, which made the final product feel even more personalized and special. The photos she captured are beyond beautiful and something I will cherish forever. I highly recommend Emily to anyone.
Every image is filled with love and perfectly reflects this special time in our lives.
The Lombardi FAMILY
Working with Emily was a joy! She was so patient and kind to our children.
She does a great job capturing a family’s dynamic! We loved her ways to incorporate play into the photo shoot. She went above and beyond to deliver beautiful photos so quickly. There’s no doubt that we will cherish the photos she took for a lifetime. We highly recommend her!
