the heart behind my work

 

My goal is simple: to create photographs that feel like home, no matter what season of life you're in.

 

 

I keep things simple. Whether we're photographing your family at a local park, your new baby at home, or the daily work that goes into running your farm or business, my job is to pay attention and tell your story honestly. You don't need to perform for the camera. Just show up and be yourselves.

 

These are the photos you'll still be pulling out years from now, the ones that remind you exactly what this season of life felt like. That's worth doing right.

Testimonials

Lauren

Emily has always been great to work with! She has been there for my engagement, gender reveal, newborn, and many family photo sessions. She has wonderful ideas and makes the sessions fun! My kids love to get their pictures taken with her because they are able to play and she still gets amazing pictures.

Testimonials

Kylie

What sets Emily apart isn't just her incredible talent behind the camera, it's who she is as a person. She's kind, patient, helpful, and genuinely loves both kids and animals. She even carried my backpack full of toddler essentials throughout our family session so I could focus on being present. She has a way of making you feel completely comfortable and at ease.
