I photograph people in a way that feels true to them, focusing on connection, emotion, and the candid in-between moments. It's not always about perfection; it's about something true and real.


I'm drawn to the moments that happen when no one is trying too hard: a quiet glance, a burst of laughter, the way your kid grabs your hand. That's the good stuff. And that's what I want you to remember.

"We've used Emilie for our holiday card photos for the past two years since we became a family of 3. She worked seamlessly around newborn naps and captured some truly special candid moments, as well as classic newborn shots. This past fall, we did a vineyard shoot with our barely walking one-year-old and had so much fun. The photos are stunning and we'll treasure them always. We won't hesitate to use Emilie again for our yearly family photos and hopefully many, many more!"

"Emilie is an amazing photographer! We used her for our engagement shoot, our first photo session ever, and she immediately put us at ease. She was warm, professional, and delivered our photos quickly. They turned out beautifully, and we’ll treasure them forever. We highly recommend Emilie to anyone looking to capture life’s most meaningful moments."

"What do you look for in a photographer? For me it's attention to detail, an artistic point of view and patience. Emilie brings all those things plus more into her work. Each time she has photographed my children, family or events, her work never disappoint. She knows her craft and captures beautiful, true-to-life moments with care and skill."
