Finding a photographer who can handle both a delicate newborn session and the chaos of toddler Santa photos is a rare find! We’ve been loyal clients of Emily for years because her work is consistently beautiful. We love her clean, simple aesthetic. She is so patient and engaging with our girls, which makes the photos feel natural rather than forced. It’s been a joy watching our family grow through her lens. Thank you Emily!!
I don’t even know where to begin. Emily is absolutely amazing. She recently took some last minute family photos. I’m usually a planner but when we got the sad news that one my doggies had a terminal illness and didn’t have long to live, I reached out to Emily and she made it happen. Thanks to her, I have forever memories of my fur baby. I will absolutely be back for more family photos by Emily.
Emily absolutely nailed my real estate headshots! Made me feel relaxed, gave great direction, and delivered natural, professional photos that look like ME—only better. Fast turnaround, perfect retouching. Already getting compliments everywhere I use them. Highly recommend!
