Life is colorful, not curated.

Do you know what’s always in style? YOU. Your joy. The way you laugh so hard you cry when your children break out their best dance moves. Your four-year-old’s superhero cape they insist on wearing every single place you go. Dad‘s piggyback rides and tickle fights.

As a photographer and creative, the world feels loud. Hopping on Instagram feels draining instead of inspiring. There’s so many other photographers out there and it is easy to lose. What makes you “you”. So I’ve stayed quiet. I’ve observed and studied what I saw, and took it all in, and I’ve realized so much more about myself as an artist.

I’m here for the people not the light. I love documenting your family in your home because it is special to you, not because of what is “trendy” right now. Not because it is “perfectly aesthetic”, because my true aesthetic is your joy. I love leaning into the pieces of your family that are truly you. Your home is part of your story, and I want you to embrace it. I’m not going to choose a blank wall next to a window with good light just for the sake of a certain aesthetic. I want the books scattered on the floor, sippy cups lying on the couch, and your child’s favorite stuffy they never leave the house without. I want your old wooden cabinets you’ve been dying to refinish, the colorful and chaotic playrooms, your hand me down couch you’ve had since before you got married, and all the corners of your home that hold your most precious memories.

Let’s have a tea party. Let’s play in the sprinkler. Let’s eat popsicles on your front steps. Let’s have a dance party. Let’s make breakfast together and let your kids show me all their favorite toys. Let me into your life to capture all your JOY. After all, life is colorful, not curated. Let’s document your everyday magic, together.

Xoxo, Em

I cannot even begin to tell you how much laughter was shared during this session! Big sisters brought all the fun and we had the sweetest morning together!!! I first had this family in front of my camera when their oldest was tiny, and now look at her. So grown up with two little siblings to cherish. How special is that?!♥️♥️♥️

Is it still acceptable to post some Christmas sessions?! I have so enjoyed some much needed time off after busy season to enjoy the holidays with those I love most 😊 but I am slowly starting to come back to this little business of mine, and that includes posts I never got around to making, replying to a few emails in the inbox, and even dusting off my camera for some newborn sessions this month!😉🥰 I hope you guys are still okay seeing a little Christmas magic 🪄

Big kids still need to be documented!!! Family photos are not just for babies and toddlers! Treat it as a family date night. No phones or practices or homework, just your family enjoying each other with nowhere to be. Maybe even grab dinner together afterwards and get a chance to sit down and talk with your quickly growing kids 🥹♥️ all phases and seasons of your family are beautiful and worthy of being documented!

A whole lot of giggles and fun packed into a little fall mini season 🥳😍
