We had the absolute pleasure of working with Emmi Claire Photography, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, she was professional, creative, and incredibly easy to work with.
EmmiClaire Photography made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire session, and the attention to detail was exceptional.
Not only is her work stunning, but her communication, reliability, and passion for what she does truly sets her apart. If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, personable, and dedicated to delivering outstanding results, I highly recommend EmmiClaire Photography. I look forward to having many more family photo sessions with EmmiClaire Photography again in the future!

Emily was wonderful to work with! She came to our home to take photos of my husband and me with our new baby, and the whole experience was great. She helped guide us with poses and lighting, which made everything feel easy and natural.
We were really happy with how many photos we got from just a one-hour session, and they turned out exactly how I was hoping they would. I’m so glad we chose Emily to capture this special time for our family.

I’m so glad the guidance with posing and lighting helped everything feel natural and easy, and that you loved the variety of images from your session! Thank you for trusting EmmiClaire Photography for your in-home newborn photos.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer transparent, all-inclusive pricing with no hidden fees. Every session includes high-resolution edited images, a private online gallery, and full print rights. I also offer seasonal mini sessions at a reduced rate, and wedding clients receive a complimentary engagement session when booking a full-day package. Custom quotes are always available based on your needs—just reach out!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I aim to make the process easy, personal, and stress-free from the start. Once you inquire, we’ll chat about your vision, location preferences, and the overall vibe you’re going for. I’ll share session options, styling tips, and available dates. Once you’re booked, I’ll guide you every step of the way from what to wear to how to feel comfortable in front of the camera so you can show up feeling confident and ready to enjoy the experience. My goal is to capture genuine connection and beautiful, natural moments you’ll treasure.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I’ve spent years honing my craft through hands-on experience, professional workshops, and continued education in both photography and editing. My father is a professional photographer and I've trained under him as well. I’ve worked with families, couples, and brands in a wide range of settings—from intimate in-home sessions to large outdoor events. I’ve also invested in mentoring with top photographers in the industry and keep up with evolving trends and techniques to ensure my work remains timeless yet fresh. More than anything, I believe in creating a relaxed, natural experience that helps clients feel truly seen.
