Who, me? Let's talk about what sets me apart.
I'M A FIRM BELIEVER IN THE DIVISION OF LABOR.
I'm a mother of two, and I get the mental & physical load behind prepping for a family session. That's why I make things as simple as possible.
Location recommendations. Scheduling around the perfect golden light. Straightforward booking process. Easy rescheduling when your kid gets sick. Posing and directing on set. Editing with natural tones that will look good in a gallery wall with your other photos.
Trust me, I'm a mom. I understand the glory of working with a professional.
I'M ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT YOUR "WHY."
Whether you are a small business owner, a giant non-profit, or a stay at home mom of three. I am always trying to make sessions more targeted to your "why."
My Personal Branding clients will receive brand surveys so that I can understand their business goals. Because behind each image is a valuable goal and an ethos.
My New Mamas will always have a hand on their baby or be within an arms reach during our newborn sessions. Why? Because life at that stage is fragile, postpartum anxiety is real, and because babies just need their mamas.
Art is intimate and intimacy starts with listening.
I'M KIND BUT DIRECT.
Just before we get to location, I receive the "cry for help" text from my clients. "I don't do this. I don't know how to act in front of the camera! You've got to help me."
Rest assured, Friends, I am the one you want to walk you through the very real, "what do I do with my hands?" feeling.
Creative vision and years of experience will help me guide you into natural moments of play and movement. If something is not working on set, I will be quick to say that's not really working let's try this instead."
FROM MY CLIENTS
"My nonprofit organization has worked with Emily twice now. She has come to two events for us and photographed headshots for our entire staff.
Emily is professional, kind, and efficient! And we have loved our photos each time we have worked with her. We will absolutely be booking her more in the future!"
- Taylor Hardy
"I have been working with Emily for about 2 years now, and am always excited when we have a chance to collaborate. She has done photos for our family, as well as multiple businesses. She takes the stress out of planning branding shoots as she is thorough, communicates well, and curates visual planning resources so everyone is on the same page. Whether family photos or something more editorial, she nails it.
Some of my favorite things about working with her: her location ideas, her aesthetic and editing, her directives during the shoot, her communication skills, her kindness and ease, her RESULTS!"
- Jessa Anderson
"Signing up for Emily’s mini sessions was an easy process. Several auto-reminders were sent out which was helpful for me.
The park she chose for the mini sessions was beautiful and not crowded— so we didn’t have people in the background.
She was ready to go several minutes before our session so we got to start early. She carried my purse around with all the snacks for the kids to keep it off the ground and out of the pictures.
The kids enjoyed the playfulness she put into the process.
When my 2 yr old needed a break, she picked up in this and took pictures of the other kids until he was ready for more.
The picture link was emailed four days after the mini session! So fast!
I highly recommend her as a photographer for your family."
