I love finding the magic in ordinary moments and places and showing you the love and magic that you radiate without even realizing it.
In our creative journey, trust plays a big role, giving us the freedom to express ourselves. It's an open invitation to embrace imperfections and enjoy your wedding day without any stress. Just imagine a laid-back experience where trust guides us to capture the genuine beauty of your story effortlessly because we'll have taken care of all the things before the big day!
There’s no need for perfect poses, perfect weather, perfect outfits, or a perfect location to capture the perfect memories. It’s about a snapshot in time - those photos that allow you to hold a feeling in your hands.
From start to finish, I’ll be there to guide you. We’ll begin by dreaming up a vision for your session, whether it’s deciding on outfits, choosing the perfect location, or incorporating meaningful activities that reflect your family’s personality. I use questionnaires, Pinterest mood boards, and Zoom calls to go over every detail with you before the big day, ensuring everything feels just right. On your session day, I’ll arrive early to help everyone settle in and get comfortable. I take things nice and slow, letting the kids play, ask questions, and be curious. I give them space if they need it, and snack breaks are almost always a must. I shoot with a combination of digital and 35mm film, with an option to add Super 8 film. Film photography takes time and effort, that I find adds a timeless quality and a level of artistry and nostalgia to the images.
"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."
"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."
"If you want a day of fun-filled, unique photos, look no further. She has a knack for making you feel comfortable and at ease so your pictures are candid and authentic. Emily captures the extraordinary in ordinary moments, revealing the love and magic."
