Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: We have photo shoots, get photos taken of us to capture who we are in this moment so that later on when we are a little more gray, have a few more wrinkles, when our kids have grown up to become teens and adults, we can look back and remember what was. Before I begin any portrait session, I set my mind with this perspective. My job as photographer, is to get past the performative burden the camera puts on, and to capture the honest interactions and emotions that occur. It will be these genuine moments of a mother reading her child’s favorite book, braiding her daughter’s hair, a little girl giggling on the hip of her mom because she thinks she looks so silly in mom’s floppy hat, that will be cherished. These are everyday moments and yet with the aid of a photo, are made specific and palpable. The power of portrait photography is that it can capture reality for a time and turn everyday moments into lifelong memories.

Emily took our engagement photos at our favorite location in Charlottesville last Sunday. We received our pictures the following Thursday, and we are gleaming with joy! Emily was so great to work with and she was very thoughtful when deciding the angles of the photos. We are so delighted! Thank you Emily!

Emily did an outstanding job with our engagement shoot! Not only was her pricing extremely affordable, she had excellent professionalism, creativity, skill, and communication. Her turn-aroud time for sending us the photos was unheard of, too -- next day we had the link to all the photos she'd taken of us. And we have over 100 photos from 2 locations combined. Emily was patient, flexible, eager to please, and definitely someone I'd book again. Hire her and you won't be disappointed!

My fiance and I had an amazing experience working with Emily for our engagement session. Her photos came out beautiful and she was so easy to work with, as we have never had professional photos taken before. I can't recommend Emily enough to anyone looking for an approachable and professional photographer in the Richmond area!

Our experience with Emily was amazing! We had an engagement session and it was our first professional photo shoot together. She made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera for being first timers. Would defintely recommend to anyone looking for a great photographer!

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    I take great pride in communicating with my customers and making sure they get what they want out of our session together. To help with the process, I like to exchange emails with my clients and I also send out a quick questionnaire with simple questions that aim to help them get thinking about the details of their session.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I have over five years of education in the field of fine art photography.
