Hi! I'm Emily.

What does family feel like to you? 

When I was growing up, on Saturday mornings my mom would sit with her coffee at the kitchen table while my dad laid on on this warm sun spot of our family room carpet by the sliding glass door reading the newspaper. Soon, my brother and I took to laying on our bellies in the sun spot too, and this rhythm of quiet, warm, bright, Saturday mornings in my childhood home is an image that has stuck with me as the essence of what family feels like to me.

​

And I wish I had a photograph of it.

​

My heart is preserving this season of life for you in the most heartfelt, authentic, and joyful way. As a mom, I know how fleeting these days (though they may feel like forever sometimes, too!), seasons, and years are. My goal isn’t to simply take a “candid” photo of your family laughing together, but to uncover the layers of who you are and capture the true essence of your connection. These are the images that will embody what family truly feels like, the photographs that you'll pull out to tell your story for generations to come.

I can't wait to capture sweet moments of you and your family.
