My photoshoot with Emily was amazing. She has a great eye for detail, she chose the best spots on the location, and she made me feel very confident and comfortable. The pictures tu...
rned out incredible. I recommend her 1000% :)
We are so glad we booked Emily to shoot images for our 30th anniversary party. It was a pretty casual event for 12, but so important to us to capture both portraits and the candid...
moments of the evening. Emily far exceeded our expectations and we absolutely love our images. AND, she is just delightful to work with — very professional, easy going and fun. She really fit right in with our tight knit group, and even my son-in-law, who doesn’t like posing for pics, told me he was really happy I chose Emily as he was so comfortable with her shooting style and personality. (The party was at his home, so it was especially important to me that he felt comfortable)
From the first consultation with Emily, we felt so comfortable. We wanted Emily to shoot our destination wedding, but she encouraged us to do an engagement shoot with her first bef...
ore we signed the contract . We were not disappointed. She encouraged us to talk about why we loved each other and reminisce on our entire engagement and journey together, which I absolutely loved. She went above and beyond and gave us the most beautiful pictures.We then decided to be her very first destination wedding. She did amazing and was so fun to have there. It did take about 3 months to receive our full gallery back, contrary to what we were promised. I would definitely recommend Emily to everyone I know because she is amazing and so talented.
I just used her for my egagement and wedding pictures. She does a really great job of taking my vision and making it come to life. I love her work.
I forgot my outfit and had to ...
go buy a new one before my engagement photos. Emily put me at ease and went with the flow.
She was so detail oriented about the timing of everything at the wedding.
Book her before someone else does!
Emily is AMAZING!!! If you are looking for fun, sweet, incredibly talented photographer with timeless style, Emily is your gal! She did a boudoir session for me so I could surprise...
my hubby with a special anniversary gift, and everything was beyond perfect. I was nervous for such an intimate session, but Emily made me feel safe, confident and GORGEOUS! She helped me pose throughout the entire session, paid special attention to details, and listened when I made my own suggestions. I got sneak peaks back the same evening and the rest of my photos within a week - and they look a million times better than I ever could have imagined! You can tell Emily truly has a passion for her clients and the moments she captures for them. Emily is definitely my new go-to photographer for all of life’s special occassions!
I could not love her and her services more. Just book it. She is everything I could dream of and more.
Emily is such a creative genius-
Even though my space wasn’t super flashy or special, you couldn’t tell the difference between my space and an actual studio when you look at the p...
ictures. Seeing those results was actually pretty mind blowing(:
At first I was pretty nervous because I didn’t know what to expect- but I wanted to do something special for my partner for Valentine’s Day/Anniversary. During my boudoir session, Emily guided me through multiple poses and also considered what I wanted. Not only that but she made sure that I was having fun and feeling good about my photos, she’s ultimate hype girl. I felt very comfortable with her as we went through a couple different types of outfits- I was soooo excited to see the final pictures, they were PHENOMENAL!!
Emily took our gender reveal photos. She took the time to document everything from that day without me having to ask (my brain was a million places). She captured the perfect momen...
t of us finding out we’re going to be boy parents! Then she immediately went home, edited a handful of photos, and sent them that day. So that we could finally share with the world & not wait another day to celebrate. She went above & beyond for us. She even sent us a baby gift from our registry. I already have her booked for newborn photos- which is the perfect decision.
Thank you Emily for the amazing photos you captured of me and my kids! They are so beautiful and fun and I will truly love them forever!! You are awesome and I am so grateful!
Emily did engagement pictures for my fiancé and I. We all went to the same high school and were in band together so it was very special to have her as our photographer for such a b...
