You’re not just looking for a photographer. You’re looking for someone who truly sees you. Someone you can trust, feel comfortable with, and be your full authentic self around! 
I photograph people and memories, not poses. From your wedding day and elopement to a laid back lifestyle session, I’m there to capture the real stuff. The connection, the loud laughter, the intimate between moments, the happy tears, the movement, and all the little pieces that make your story yours.
I want you to feel like you can show up exactly as you are. I create space for couples and individuals who don’t always see themselves reflected in traditional media and who want their experience to feel honest, affirming, and deeply personal.
I’ll guide you when you need it, hype you up when the nerves hit, and step back when the real moments unfold naturally. I’m not here to turn your day into a photoshoot. I’m here to let you live it and document it as it happens.


all genders, race, ethnicities, culture, and love are celebrated here.

I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer!

 Emily made us feel comfortable and hyped us up during the photos. We had sooo much fun and the best part was that she didn’t make it feel staged. I loved how she captured my husband and l as we laughed and were being ourselves. She captured us and our guests on the dance floor perfectly. I am in love with my wedding photos because they capture the expressions and emotions in that moment beautifully. We are reminded on just how great a day was had. The photos are nostalgic and have a timeless feel to them. Emily and the DJ (Wyatt) were such a joy to work with! The music was the perfect blend of English and Spanish. The entire experience with Emily from the initial phone call to receiving our gallery was great! She is so nice and listens to what you have in mind to help your vision come to life.
