I’ve always believed the places we love have a way of becoming part of who we are. The same is true of the people and moments we find there. Photography, to me, is a way of keeping those pieces close, preserving not only what your story looked like, but the places, feelings, and little moments that made it yours.
I'm Emma
beyond The Frame
Beyond the camera, I’m happiest somewhere between a quiet morning at home and an adventure somewhere new. I’m a first grade teacher, a lover of mountain air, cozy cabins, good coffee, and any excuse to spend time outside. I’ll always say yes to exploring a new place, lingering around a bonfire, or finding the kind of little moments that make ordinary days worth remembering.
Why I love my Job
There is something incredibly special about being invited into one of the most meaningful days of someone’s life. I get to witness the moments you’ve dreamed about alongside the ones you never could have planned, the nervous anticipation, the laughter that takes over a room, the quiet glances, and the people who traveled near and far just to be there with you. It’s a privilege I never take lightly.
What I love most about this work is that no two stories ever unfold the same way. Every couple brings their own history, traditions, favorite people, and sense of adventure. Whether we’re wandering through the mountains, tucked beneath towering pines, or celebrating somewhere that already feels like home, I love discovering the little details that make a place and a day entirely yours.
Behind the camera, my goal is always to give you the freedom to experience it all first. I’ll offer guidance when you need it, bring a sense of calm when things feel busy, and leave plenty of room for the unexpected moments to find us. Because more often than not, those are the photographs that end up meaning the most.
Years from now, I hope your photographs feel like opening a well loved journal from a chapter you never want to forget. A collection of people, places, feelings, and tiny moments that bring you right back to who you were and how it all felt. Getting to create something that can hold those memories for you is the reason I feel so lucky to call this my job.
Studio Values
01. Presence Over Perfection
The moments that matter most are rarely the ones perfectly planned. I believe in giving you space to be fully present, soak it all in, and let your day unfold in a way that feels true to you.
02. Connection at the Heart
Your photographs should feel like the people within them. From quiet glances to full belly laughs, I’m always looking for the honest connection and little in between moments that make your story unmistakably yours.
03. Wonder in the Wild
There is something magical about celebrating in a place that makes you feel small in the very best way. I’m endlessly inspired by open skies, towering pines, winding trails, and the landscapes that become part of our stories.
04. Made to Wander Back To
Photographs have a beautiful way of carrying us somewhere we once were. I create with the hope that years from now, your images bring back the people, places, emotions, and tiny details exactly as you remember them.
