more about me
think of me as your hype woman
What started as taking photos of my Barbies on my mother’s film camera has led me to a passion for all things photography. I think photographs are so important because they capture a feeling from a moment in your life and turn it into something tangible that you can cherish forever. Being given the opportunity to capture these moments for my clients is something I take great pride in. Seeing my photos hanging in your homes, displayed in your photo albums, and as your profile pictures never ceases to amaze me.

the experience
“Had such a wonderful experience doing our engagement shoot with Emily. My fiance was very nervous because he had never done any kind of photoshoot before, but Emily made the whole experience so easy and fun! We cherish these pictures of our engagement and have them hanging in our house!”

“I cannot recommend Emily enough for your special photos. Let me tell you about my favorite part though, it’s getting to work with Emily! I have done all sorts of photo sessions and have always felt a bit awkward with someone I don’t know. This is where Emily is a superstar. She is instantly your best friend, your supporter, and your biggest hype girl.”

“There were dozens of photographers suggested, but Emily’s style stood out to me. She made the process very smooth for us where all we had to do was pay the fees. During the shoot, she prompted us for poses and made us feel so warm and welcome. At last our photos were returned to us and were absolutely STUNNING. We will be working with Emily again!”
