Family sessions shaped around who you are, not what looks perfect.
I love finding the magic in ordinary life. Those laughter-filled messy mornings, quiet mid-day pauses, and the way your family glows just being together. Trust, presence, creativity. They invite your story to unfold without rush or pressure.
It’s about being present. so your photos feel like a fresh memory every time you look through them.
Your family, beautifully real.
Moments you’ll return to for generations

I shape every collection around your family, because no two stories are the same. Most sessions begin at 90 minutes, with the freedom to add time if the day calls for it.
Each collection includes a mood board designed just for you, a video call to dream and plan together, 35mm and medium format film and a gallery that reflects the heart of your everyday life. For families who want a touch of video nostalgia, Super 8 film can be added to bring your story to life in motion. Most families spend between 90 minutes and 3 hours with me, depending on how they want their story told.

This is just the beginning. Every family has its own story, and I tailor each session to honor what matters most to you. Reach out to learn more about how we’ll preserve these moments for generations.

The Experience & Emotional Journey
From the start, I gather every detail that matters to you, then design a session around what you value most. We design your session together through mood boards, outfit ideas, and videos calls; so that, when your session day arrives, everything flows with ease. Leaving you free to be fully present in every moment.
During our time together I move quietly but intuitively, capturing the little things: laughs, tight hugs, pauses, playful giggles. When it’s over, you’ll have images that don’t just show a session, but how it feels to be in your family.
More than photographs
a seamless experience.
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!

"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."

The session was very laid back and she truly focused on every detail.
"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."
