Missouri family & wedding
photographer. Capturing vibes worldwide.
I want to document you with your favorite people in a way that feels genuine and true to who you are. It's not just about the big moments, but the small, everyday interactions that make your relationships special. I document the quirks, the laughter, the little gestures that show your love and connection; I document the details that surround you, so that remember the moment as if you were reliving it.
You’ve got incredible style, you’re bursting with personality, your love story and energy are literally captivating. You deserve photos that reflect your vibe. That celebrate you at your most alive, not just your most perfectly posed and put together. The ones that go in the scrapbook and the ones that might make grandma blush and the ones you’ll look back on and say “that is so perfectly us.”

"Holy. Moly.
When I say Emily was the photographer of my dreams, I truly mean that. The moment I got into contact with her, she was incredibly warm, personable, and just chill enough to not make me feel overwhelmed. After our Zoom call, my first thought was, "I want to be friends with this girl."
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. 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! With her dreamy aesthetic and eye for the little moments, it was honestly more perfect than anything I could have ever tried to ask for.
Working with Emily has honestly felt like hanging out with a friend. A friend that is super crazy talented. <3 — Kyra + Matthew
"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." — Green Family
"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." — Crooks Family
