The Heart Behind The Camera

Hi, I’m Emily — the eye (and heart) behind the lens. My love for photography began back in college, when I signed up for a photojournalism class on a whim. What started as an elective quickly turned into a passion — I was fascinated by the idea of telling stories through images.

Sometime after that, I photographed my cousin’s senior pictures, and something clicked (literally and figuratively). I realized how much joy there is in capturing moments for people — whether it’s a milestone, a celebration, or just the beauty of everyday life.

Fast forward more than ten years, and that same spark is still with me. Photography has taken me from documenting love stories on wedding days to freezing the simple, fleeting moments that often go unnoticed. Through it all, my favorite part has stayed the same: connecting with people and giving them memories they can hold onto forever.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me sipping on iced coffee, kicking back while reading a good book, pumping iron at the gym, building miniature houses, or planning my next little adventure with my amazing boyfriend.

I’d love to help you capture your story, exactly as it is — beautifully, authentically, and wholeheartedly.
