A little update from me 🤍

After a lot of thought, I’ve decided that I will no longer be accepting new photography clients after October 1, 2026. I’m taking a step back from photography and giving myself the time and space to focus on life outside of my business for a while.

If you have already booked with me, your session will still happen as planned, and I will continue to communicate with you and make sure everything is taken care of.

If you have previously inquired about a session but have not officially set a date, you will have 7 business days from the date of this message to reach out and schedule your session. After that time, your inquiry will be considered closed, and I will not be accepting new bookings until further notice.

This does not apply to styled shoots or shoots that have already been discussed and arranged separately.

Thank you so much for supporting me, trusting me with your memories, and allowing photography to be such a huge part of my life. 🤍 I’m incredibly grateful for every person who has ever stepped in front of my camera.

A little PSA from me 🤍

I’ve been pretty MIA lately, and honestly, I owe you guys an explanation.

I’ve decided to take a little break from photography.

This is something I’ve been going back and forth on for a while now, because photography is something I genuinely LOVE. I love creating, I love meeting new people, I love getting to be a tiny part of so many important moments, and I am so incredibly grateful for every single person who has ever booked with me, inquired with me, shared my work, recommended me, or simply supported my little business. 🤍

But lately, I’ve felt really overwhelmed by photography, and I don’t feel like I’ve been producing the work that I KNOW I’m capable of producing. I never want to show up to a session feeling burnt out, rushed, or like I’m just going through the motions. You deserve better than that, and honestly, so do I.

So I’m giving myself permission to step back for a little while, breathe, reset, and hopefully fall back in love with creating without feeling like I constantly have to be “on.”

This does NOT mean I’m dropping the sessions I already have booked. I fully plan on keeping every session, styled shoot, wedding, etc. that I already have scheduled. I just want to make sure I have everything organized and on my radar.

So if you currently have a session, styled shoot, wedding, or anything else coming up with me — PLEASE message me. Even if we’ve talked about it before. I want to get everything together in one place so I can make sure nothing gets missed. 🫶🏼

And if you’ve recently messaged me and I haven’t gotten back to you yet, I am SO sorry. I promise it isn’t personal. I’ve just been overwhelmed and needed to take a step back.

Thank you for being patient with me. Thank you for trusting me with your memories. And thank you for loving and supporting this little business of mine. 🤍

I’m not saying goodbye. I’m just taking a breath.

Keepsakes by Emma
I have a little goal for 2027…

I want to photograph ONE wedding every single month of the year. 🥹

12 months.
12 couples.
12 completely different love stories to document.

And I already have May 🔒 and October 🔒 officially booked in Kentucky.

That means I’m looking for 10 more 2027 couples to help me complete the calendar. These couples can be in KY, TN, IN, OH, NC, or any other surrounding state of KY! 🤍

And because I want to make this a little extra special, I’m offering The Keepsake Deal:

✨ 20% OFF your wedding photography package
✨ FREE engagement session
✨ Available for the 10 remaining months of 2027

Here’s what the calendar currently looks like:

🤍 January
🤍 February
🤍 March
🤍 April
🔒 May
🤍 June
🤍 July
🤍 August
🤍 September
🔒 October
🤍 November
🤍 December

And here’s the important part:
I am only taking ONE wedding per month for this deal.

So when a month is claimed, it’s claimed. 🔒

No waiting until your wedding is right around the corner. No wondering if your photographer will still be available. If your date is open, now is the time to get it on the calendar.

Whether you’re planning a big traditional wedding, an intimate backyard day, a courthouse ceremony, a barn wedding, or something completely your own — I want to be there to document it. 🤍

And if you’re not a 2027 bride but know someone who is…

TAG HER. 🫶🏻
Seriously. Send this to your newly engaged friend. Share it with your sister. Tell your coworker. You might just help me fill another month. 😂

📸 Want to see if your month is still available?

Comment “2027” below or send me a message with “2027” and I’ll send you my available dates, wedding packages, and booking information.

10 months. 10 couples. One wedding every month.

Let’s see how quickly we can fill the 2027 calendar. 🤍

Some love stories don’t need grand gestures. 🤍

Just an old truck, a back road, a quiet dock, and two people who make ordinary places feel unforgettable. 🛻

That’s the thing about love.

It rarely happens in perfect places.

It happens in the moments in between.
The glance that lingers.
The laugh that wasn’t planned.
The drive home you wish would last a little longer. 🥹

Years from now, these won’t just be photos.

They’ll be the feeling of this season of life—the warmth of the evening sun, the way they looked at each other, and all the little moments that became everything. 🎞️

That’s what I’m here to preserve. 🤎

The beginning of forever deserves more than beautiful photos—it deserves to be remembered exactly as it felt. 🤍🎞️

The quiet moments before you walk down the aisle.
The tears your parents try to hide.
The laughter with your favorite people.
The tiny in-between moments you didn’t even realize were happening.

Those are the memories I love preserving.

Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement or celebrating with everyone you love, my goal is to create photographs that take you right back to your wedding day every single time you look at them.

Wedding Collections:
🌾 4 Hours — Starting at $1,100
🌾 6 Hours — Starting at $1,500
🌾 8 Hours — Starting at $1,900
🌾 10 Hours — Starting at $2,400

If you’re planning a 2026 or 2027 wedding, I’d love to hear your story and help preserve one of the most meaningful days of your life. 🥹

Every session is relaxed, natural, and focused on capturing the moments you’ll want to hold onto for years to come. 🥹🎞️
