Capturing you and your love exactly as you are
Couples
You’re looking for an in-depth experience that results in photos that feel exceptionally “you” — capturing every candid laugh and heartfelt moment in between.
You value a photographer that pays attention to every moment and detail to accurately depict your relationship with your favorite person.
You value the in-between moments just as much as the big moments.
You want more than just pretty pictures, you want your photographs to have meaning and a story behind them.
You have a vision for what you want but you need a photographer you trust to get you there.
You're in the right place if...
It’s capturing the spark in those small, beautiful moments that made you fall in love like the way they belly laugh and the warmth brought by their bear hugs. It’s documenting you and your favorite person exactly as you are — uniquely you.
BUT MOST OF ALL IT’S ABOUT DOCUMENTING YOUR LIFE TOGETHER AS IT GROWS AND CHANGES.
IT’S ABOUT YOU AND YOUR PARTNER MAKING INTENTIONAL TIME TO CELEBRATE AND DOCUMENT YOUR JOURNEY OVER THE YEARS.
IT’S ABOUT FILLING YOUR WALLS WITH A TESTAMENT TO YOUR LOVE.
There are so many important memories along the way that deserve to be documented exactly how you are at this point in time — whether it's been one year or twenty.
Professional photos Shouldn't Be reserved for your wedding day.

Storytelling Sessions
“Once a stranger, now a friend and we are so thankful for her! Emma is such a fun, loving soul and we could not imagine having any other photographer. when we got in the car, we couldn't stop raving about how amazing she is. Having never met her, we just hoped she would be good, but she exceeded our expectations and are in love with our photos. We can't wait to have her photograph our wedding!”

"Emma was amazing to work with for our engagement photos! As soon as we got to our session, Emma put us at ease. Emma did an amazing job taking control of session and making it a fun experience from the start and not just a standard photo shoot.

Kind Words
I recommend deciding on your vibe first. Are you hoping for a city location? Something more around nature? Maybe it’s less about the vibe and more about the story behind it? Think back on your first date, where they proposed, your favorite memory, and go from there to decide what location is best to tell your love story.
Where should we take our photos?
