MEET YOUR
PHOTOGRAPHER
Hey friend!! I'm Emma, and I'm passionate about telling stories with my camera.
A bit about me - I'm a big fan of all things music and am constantly looking for new tunes. I love the outdoors, whether that means going for walks in the city or a hike in the mountains. Aside from shooting portraits, I've had the joy of being a photographer at a summer camp in Wisconsin, working with kids and teens of all ages, documenting one of the best weeks of their lives! Realistically speaking, they were some of my best weeks, too. :)
​
If you're a person who smiles big, stops to smell the roses, and sees each a day as a new adventure, we'll be a great team.
​
I can't wait to work with you!

WHY I LOVE WHAT I DO
My love for visual storytelling sparked at the age of fourteen, when I picked up a camera on a family roadtrip from our home in the suburbs of Phoenix to the heart of downtown Chicago. After that, I was hooked. I just loved freezing those memories into photos, so I devoted myself to turning my passion into a career. I completely fell in love with portraying real memories and stories vibrantly and realistically through photography.​
My mission is to make you comfortable and feel like the truest version of yourself when you're in front of my camera. My hope is that you walk away from our session thinking, "wow, I just had a lot of fun." Your session will be bubbly, full of laughs, and probably dealing with me freaking out over how good the lighting is. I'm all about real emotions, documenting your true self, having a blast, and creating visual reminders of your memories that will last a lifetime.
