"To me, photography is an art of observation.
It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do
with the way you see them."
— Elliott Erwitt
Life Captured
Every Moment Tells a Story
Welcome to a space where life’s fleeting moments are transformed into timeless memories. I specialize in lifestyle and documentary-style photography, using my lens to tell authentic stories.
As Ansel Adams said: "You don’t make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved."
Let’s capture your story together—one meaningful moment at a time.
What to Expect
Reflective and personal Storytelling
As a mom of three and a former high school yearbook advisor, I’ve spent years behind the camera—capturing milestones, big events, and all the little in-between moments that make life beautiful. From football games and graduations to quiet campus corners, I’ve seen how powerful a single photo can be.
Working with students to tell their own stories through photography taught me to slow down, look closer, and really listen. That same love for storytelling and attention to detail is what I bring to every session now.
Whether I’m photographing a senior getting ready for their next big step, a growing family, or someone simply wanting to freeze a moment in time—I know how important it is to feel seen and to trust the person behind the lens. Everyone’s story matters, and I’m honored to help tell yours.
Testimonials
Nancy & Eric
Taking family photos is always tricky, but add an eight-week-old puppy into the mix, and it gets downright crazy! But not for Emily, who came equipped with lots of puppy treats in her pocket! She is patient and makes great recommendations for locations and different backgrounds. What I see as a weird background, she created it into an incredible backdrop! My family appreciated all the options we had to choose from when she was finished!
Hi, I’m Emily, a Lifestyle, and Portrait Photographer
Let’s get to know each other
My journey into photography began when I became a mother and didn’t want to forget a single moment of my children growing up. I wasn’t just drawn to perfectly posed photos—I wanted to capture the real stuff: the giggles, the messy hands, the unfiltered joy. The little moments that often go unnoticed but mean everything.
Raising three kids gave me endless opportunities to practice—documenting milestones, quiet in-between moments, and all the beautiful chaos that comes with family life. That’s where my love
Every cap toss is more than just a moment—it's a story of hard work, growth, and endless possibility. I love capturing the pride, excitement, and bittersweet emotions of milestones like this, where one chapter ends and another begins.
A burst of color, a moment of pure joy, and a connection you can feel. Photographs like these remind us that life’s most vibrant moments are often unexpected and unplanned.
