Family & Portrait photography

Meet Emily

After becoming a mother, I chose to slow down and focus on raising my son and nurturing the beautiful bond we share. During that time, I found myself documenting all of his milestones—big and small—and fell in love with preserving these moments.

With a background as a wedding photographer and years of experience in commercial marketing, I realized that family photography combined everything I truly love: storytelling, connection, and creating memories.

Family means everything to me, and it’s an honor to capture the love, joy, and connection that makes each family unique. When you work with me, you can expect a calm and comfortable experience—one where you feel guided but never posed, free to relax and simply enjoy being together. My goal is for your session to feel easy, meaningful, and filled with moments you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

Outdoor Family

Spend an hour together outdoors, where the focus is on capturing your family just as you are—connected, relaxed, and present. I’ll guide you with gentle direction while also stepping back to let natural moments unfold, from laughter and play to quiet embraces. The result is a mix of candid and timeless portraits that showcase the love and personality unique to your family.

Outdoor

Portrait

Join me for a one-hour outdoor session designed to highlight your personality in a natural and relaxed way. With a mix of candid moments and thoughtfully guided poses, I’ll capture images that feel authentic to you—whether you’re looking for fresh portraits, professional headshots, or simply a collection of photos that celebrate who you are.

In-home

Whether you’re welcoming a new baby or simply love the comfort of your own space, an in-home session allows your story to be captured in the place that means the most. These sessions are calm and unhurried, creating a relaxed environment where everyone feels at ease. I’ll focus on the natural connections, everyday details, and heartfelt moments that make your family and home so special.
