I believe lasting images come from letting life lead. That’s why I create space for real movement, imperfect skies, and spontaneous moments. Because it’s in those places your true story shines through. And when all is said and done, you’ll have a collection of artful, timeless photographs that remain true to you, no matter what trends go in and out of style. These are images you’ll treasure not just for decades but for generations.
From the very beginning, I take time to understand what matters most to you. The people, details, and emotions that define your story. Together, we design an experience with intention, from creative direction and mood boards to thoughtful planning that allows everything to unfold with ease. Whether it’s your wedding day or a season of family life, the process is rooted in what you value most: presence, connection, and meaning.
When the day arrives, everything flows effortlessly, leaving you free to simply be. I move quietly but with intention, attuned to the rhythm of your moments. The laughter that fills a room, the way hands reach for one another, the soft pauses between joy and calm (and sometimes nerves). When it’s all over, you’ll have images that don’t just show what it looked like, but what it felt like to be there. My photography is grounded in documenting love, belonging, and the beauty of now.
It begins with a simple connection. You share a bit about your story, what you’re dreaming up, what matters most, and how you want to feel when you look back on these moments.
From there, we hop on a call to dive deeper into your vision. We talk through the heart of your day or session—your priorities, your budget, and the atmosphere you want to create. This is where we start designing your experience together.
Once everything feels aligned, we make it official. Through mood boards, creative direction, and timeline guidance, we shape every detail around what you value most. The goal is to create space for ease and presence. I’ll handle the behind-the-scenes coordination so you can rest, knowing your story is in thoughtful hands. All that’s left is to step fully into the moment when it comes.
Emily instantly made us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Her working style is relaxed and refreshing with just the right amount of 'direction' to incite real moments. She perfectly captured the sweet, sometimes chaotic, season of our life with our 6-month-old. I instantly cried when I saw the photos, knowing they were interactions and moments that were true to our family (ie the constant hair pulls, dog getting in the way, etc). We already knew we loved her artistic style, but the experience working with her will make us reach out again for future photos!

Emily was talked about by all our guests on how comforting a presence she was and how there but not there she was. She killed it. I can't thank her enough. After getting our full gallery back I don't quite have the words yet!

There was never a second where I doubted her ability to capture our love in a way that felt true to us. Not only did she ask what we were looking for, she also asked about US.
The day of our wedding, I was a nervous wreck. The MOMENT Emily arrived, it was like a breath of fresh air. All smiles, excited to be there, and soooo laidback. Most the time, I hardly knew she was there. It was very important to me that she captured the candid moments, the little things I would miss on such a busy day. And O. M. G. did she deliver. The hugs, the tears, the absolutely horrendous dance moves. (She even danced with us!) Getting our gallery back, I saw more of my wedding than I had on the actual day!
"Then upon her arrival to our farm she already knew names and what we were hoping for from our session together. She was patient with wild kiddos and captured the moments as we walked around our farm. The session was very laid back and she truly focused on every detail. We got photos with all of our animals and captured so many memories. She even jumped into the back of my 16 year olds truck to drive out into the field to take pictures of him with his truck. Emily got out photos editing quickly and back to us so fast and we truly love every single one."

"We were anxious about the new way of taking photos. Especially because we already struggle to feel natural behind a camera. Emily made us feel like nothing was going to ruin our photos! She reassured us that she truly will just be there to take it all in and capture everlasting memories of what seems like a mundane day for us. Four words I would use to describe our session would be effortless, fun, connected, and special."
