I'm Emily
hey!
I'm a California girl at heart but I've been living in Oregon since 2019 with my husband, Stephen, and our cat, Willow! When I’m not photographing seniors, you can find me baking sourdough & other yummy desserts, taking care of my house plants, hiking, walking to cute coffee shops & other fun things like that.
I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE.
Whether it's an elopement on an epic mountaintop, a romantic sunset anniversary dinner tucked away in the forrest, a vow renewal on the rocky coast at sunset, or simply running through the rain to celebrate your engagement—I’m here for it all.
I believe this to my core! I am passionate about photographing your authentic self to celebrate the unique and beautiful way God has created you. I aim to serve others with the gifts God has given me and I believe I the beauty in everyone should be celebrated; camera in hand or not.
incredibly valuable.

Emily is amazing with littles! My 4 year old was in awe of her “fancy camera” and would have posed for her all day if she would have let him. Weddings can be hard on kids. Emily did great making the group pictures quick and fun for the Littles too."
At first I was uncertain about a Photographer following us around all day but then I met Emily. Right off the bat she blended in and listened. She was never under foot and always kind and attentive. She got to know not just the Bride but the family as well and it shows in the thoughtfulness of the shoots she took. Everything was beautifully handled and done. My one negative is she is based in Oregon so sadly we won't be able to use her regularly as we are in Nebraska but if I or anyone I know ever need Photos in that area 1000% I am going to recommend. Definitely elevated the experience.

We loved every moment of our photo session! Being able to sightsee in a completely different landscape than what we're used to in the NJ/NYC area, the whole session felt like a movie just going up and down the Oregon Coast. What stood out to us was just how seamless Emily made the whole experience. We didn't feel rushed to go from location to location. We took breaks when needed but we definitely are glad we hired her for 5 hours, it was just perfect for what we needed. Emily made me and my wife feel like we were close friends, as if we knew her for years. There was no issue communicating and we had a TON of fun just exploring and sharing our life stories together. We didn't feel uncomfortable in any way, we just had a ton of fun and Emily is super friendly and an open book, WE LOVE HER A TON!! If you are in Oregon, Emily would be my first and only recommendation for photos. Her work ethic, friendliness, professionalism, and just being a pro in her craft just comes together beautifully. Emily is amazing at what she does and you will not regret booking with her.

My husband and I did an adventure session on the Oregon coast with Emily for our 10 year wedding anniversary. We were both a little nervous since we had never had professional pictures done before, but Emily was literally the best and we felt so comfortable and had so much fun during our session! Emily was so knowledgeable about all of the beautiful locations along the coast and the timing in terms of lighting and crowds. She knows of so many hidden gems that we had no idea even existed. We loved how Emily captured many candid moments of us that felt so intimate and raw, yet completely beautiful. It really just felt like the two of us exploring the coast and Emily captured it so beautifully. We have received so many compliments from family and friends on the photos. Also, from the moment we booked Emily to the time we received our pictures, her communication has been off the charts exceptional. You can really tell she cares about her clients and wants them to he happy! I would recommend Emily a million times over and we hope to have pictures done by her again next time we visit the coast. Book Emily, you will not regret it!

"What a dream experience with Emily!! Getting our engagement photos done was a very important milestone in my fiancé and I’s journey together, I wanted them to be perfect. When I found Emily’s Instagram I just knew she had talent and if anyone could make my photos perfect, It’d be her. She took my vision and made it happen. She was so creative and made both of us feel so comfortable, we were both giggling the whole time. My fiancé isn’t a big picture fan, he tries to get out of it as much as he can, but with Emily he was smiling the whole time and after the shoot was over he admitted he had a blast. She made the whole day so special and I’m forever thankful I found her! Our photos turned out so beautiful. I look forward to booking with her again, highly recommend."
"What a dream experience with Emily!!"
She was fully invested in us and our vision long before our wedding day! So when our big day finally arrived, she captured everything beautifully, made us and all of our guests feel comfortable in front of the camera, and she even suggested other stunning locations for couple’s portraits near our ceremony spot! We received some of our photos just two days after our ceremony and haven’t stopped gushing over them since! They’re absolutely beautiful, and she captured "us" so eloquently! If you’re thinking about hiring Emily for your wedding, elopement, or bridal portraits (yes, I did those with Emily too!) you can stop searching and take this task off your never-ending to-do list because Emily will exceed all your expectations!"
"Emily made my dream wedding come true! She initially caught my attention with her gorgeous images and style on Instagram, but one of my favorite things about Emily is her responsiveness.
