hi, i'm emily (+ family)!

thank you for your interest in my photography... it is an honor for me every time someone sees my work and says "yep, i like it!" and wants to talk to me about photos. i love so much about photography... i appreciate the art, the light, the challenges. i enjoy being creative and working with each client to come up with unique shots. and mainly i adore people ~ i love talking and laughing and listening, and i take pride in clients starting out a little hesitant, and then leaving feeling like a supermodel with all the confidence in the world!

i'm a mom to three pretty rad kids, and a wife to one pretty stellar guy :) a few words to describe myself are cheerful, likable, genuine, silly, talkative, creative and fun! (i had to ask my kids to help me, man... do that if you need a morale boost!). we will take time to get you settled in, out of your comfort zone, and creating some special images that you'll have forever. let's do this!
