I first noticed Emily through her instagram. I loved how her shoots were unique to each senior and I really enjoyed her editing style. My experience working with Emily was truly amazing! She’s a great communicator, a fast replier, and was accommodating to all my needs/questions. She made me feel very prepared leading up to the shoot; she reached out often and even mailed me a cute emergency kit prior to the shoot! Usually I feel kinda awkward taking photos, but everything felt natural and fun. She posed me the whole time and we got to listen to fun music. Not to mention the location of the shoot was beautiful!! She knew all the good places and made sure the lighting was perfect in every photo. I love the way the photos don’t look too edited and animated, her style is very natural and nature filled. She also gave me a preview of photos in just one day! Overall my experience was amazing and I would highly recommend booking Emily for your senior shoot.

Having Emily take my photos had been on my bucket list since freshman yr, and I’m sooo happy I was able to cross that off! I love how Emily captures exactly what you are looking for, which include your personality and aesthetic. From the moment you book with Emily all the way up to the shoot she is constantly working with you in all aspects. I also love how comfortable she makes you feel during the shoot, and is there to talk you through it if you don’t know what to do. I’ve had my pictures back for a couple months now and I’m still obsessing over them🤩! I also loved how she was so organized and made the whole experience 100% stress free! But honestly if you’re looking for unique senior pictures Emily is definitely someone you should talk to 10/10!!

“When I first came across Emily on TikTok and Instagram, I immediately knew she was the photographer I wanted to book my senior photos with. Her style was so whimsical and one of a kind, like almost out of a fairytale. Booking with her was also extremely smooth and easy. I was able to have a call with her, and she happily helped me plan my location and photo package, giving me each and every available option. Once I booked with her, she stayed on top of things and communicated with me till the day of my shoot. She created mood boards, helped me pick out my outfits, and even came up with prop ideas. It was so helpful! During my shoot, Emily was so warm and friendly. Her bubbly personality made me feel comfortable in front of the camera right away, which made my shoot even smoother. The whole experience was the best it could have been. You can really tell how hard Emily works, and that she has really thought of everything going into the shoot. I felt so special! I would totally recommend booking photos with Emily. The best experience and pictures are definitely a guarantee.”

Immediately I knew I wanted Emily to my senior photos. I absolutely love how natural and earthy her photos were since that’s exactly what I was looking for! I was a little nervous leading up to it since I had never gotten pictures professionally taken before but the nervousness quickly went away once I started talking with her. Emily is so sweet and easy to talk too which made the photo shoot fly by. Communication before during and after is amazing, I was never left in the dark about what was happening. And I got to see a sneak peak of my photos the day after! During the shoot it was very go with the flow and Emily was so helpful and always told me how to pose so it looked effortless and candid. Overall I had an amazing time and would absolutely book again if I needed to and would recommend for anyone looking to book senior photos!!

“I loved booking my senior photos with Emily because of just how organized she was. Everything went smoothly because of how well everything was planned out with location searches, outfit check ins, the actual shoot, and getting the photos back. My favorite parts of the session were just how incredible the locations were and how easy it felt to shoot with Emily and her team. They provided help with poses and had a specific vision for how the photos would turn out, which I also helped guide based on the survey I took at the beginning of the process. I chose to work with Emily for my photos because of her specific style, I hadn't seen anything quite like it in my search and it felt absolutely perfect for what I was looking for. Part of what I loved about working with Emily was how we made my photos more me. I contributed to helping set the aesthetic of the shoot and Emily found all of the locations and checked in with me on if they were what I was looking for. Emily also encouraged me to bring things from hobbies into the shoot, in some cases suggesting bringing in pets or friends to be in the shoot with you. I absolutely adore how my photos came out, and the entire process was very fun to go through. I would absolutely recommend Emily to others as the shoot was easy, fun, stress free, and extremely well organized.”

From the very beginning she was willing to answer all my questions so quickly and made sure that I was completely ready for my shoot. The day of was even better, she was so sweet and made me feel incredibly comfortable. While listening to music and taking pictures Emily did an amazing job of making the entire experience something special that will forever be treasured. My favorite part was just being able to be myself, she made sure she that I was comfortable and confident the entire time. I loved that the entire photo shoot was completely personalized and exactly what I wanted it to be, Emily made my dreams come to life. Getting to see my preview photos so quickly was amazing, she worked so fast to get them to me, and I was definitely not disappointed. They were absolutely beautiful and so dreamy. I would 100% book with her again and would definitely recommend to everyone. My entire experience was so special and Emily was so so amazing, I’m so lucky she was the one to do my shoot.

I first found out about Emily through Instagram. I just absolutely loved her style of photos from the way she edits them to the amazing outdoor locations! Emily was so helpful for the entire process, from finding outfits and a location, to receiving my photos. She made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera and my photos look amazing and very natural. One of my favorite things about my shoot was the location, which was on Mt. Hood. The really cool thing was that Emily was able to incorporate the mountain in the background so all together it just looks perfect! I would totally recommend her because of how great the photos turned out and how unique and personalized the photoshoot was. Communication was always very smooth with Emily. She helped with every step of the way, so I felt really good about the whole process. Overall, everything went so great with Emily and I couldn’t be more happy with how my senior photo experience turned out!

Emily made me feel so beautiful and confident during my shoot! We talked the entire time which really made me less nervous and more calm in front of the camera. She understood the exact photos I wanted and checked with me throughout the shoot to make sure I was liking them, and that they were lining up with my vision!
