We had such a wonderful experience with our photographer for our birthday celebration! She was incredibly attentive, professional, and did an amazing job capturing all of the special moments throughout the event.
What really stood out to us was her attention to detail. She captured so many of the little moments, details, and candid interactions that we might have otherwise missed. The photos truly brought the entire celebration back to life and captured the atmosphere and emotions of the day beautifully.
She was also so easy to work with and did a great job making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. We absolutely love the photos and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented photographer who genuinely cares about capturing the special moments!

Going in blind choosing a photographer off an app can feel really nerve wracking considering you have no idea the style or personality of the photographer. Emily sent me to her instagram to get acquainted with her style- which I loved. I sent a few photos of the lifestyle shoots we have taken so she can feel our vibe, and when she showed up she got right to it! We didn’t have to discuss the details or what I wanted, she saw my style and nailed exactly that! I can’t recommend her enough! Punctual, professional, and amazing quality. The turn around time is really going to hurt other photographers I work with in my home state because she was so fast the bar is way too high now. I mean within 2 days I had all of them !! Way more pictures than I thought. Living in Florida I have a great girl there, but my New York photographer will forever be Emily ! Welcome to the family!

We had a wonderful experience with Emily - she was responsive, efficient, and great with our fluid family pictures featuring two small children and a dog. The final pictures turned out great and I can't wait to work with her again!

Emily was a pleasure to work with! She made the process extremely easy and low pressure from scheduling to communication to delivering great quality pictures. Emily was flexible and was able to work around what we needed as we were working with a newborn at the time. She turned around our photos in less than 48 hours and we were amazed at the quality! Emily shot photos of our engagement, our newborn photos, and as of most recent family photos. We look forward to many more shoots with Emily!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The pricing includes travel, locating the best spot for photos, the session itself, high quality post-processing, fast turnaround and client communication.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
A first time customer may be shy at first but I remind them to be their natural self being with their loved ones. If the customer does not know how to pose themselves I will give them a few pointers where it doesn't look to posey or unnatural.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I received a Bachelors of Fine Arts Degree in Photography at the Savannah College of Art & Design where I learned skills to create well composed photographs. I was taught many ways to photograph a person and still-life objects, in and out of the studio. I am skilled in knowing how to position the subject depending on where the lighting is located,
