I’ve been photographing weddings and families since 2014, drawn to the way natural light wraps around real emotion and the quiet, enduring love shared between partners, families, and friends. I work with people who want images that feel honest and deeply felt — those who lean into candid moments and care more about connection than perfection. My presence is gentle and unhurried, allowing your story to unfold in its own rhythm. I do this work because these small, tender moments deserve to be remembered exactly as they are.
Film & Digital Photographer for the East Coast
Serving Washington D.C., Maryland, Virginia, and beyond
I grew up on a farm with greenhouses, surrounded by flowers, light, and the kind of quiet details most people overlook — the very things that shaped the way I see people now. Since 2014, I’ve been creating candid film and digital images for couples and families who want honest, unposed moments and an earthy, artistic approach to their story. My work is rooted in presence, tenderness, and the belief that real life is worth remembering exactly as it is.

"Neither of us are comfortable in front of a camera, but Emily has such a calm, warm, fun presence that the couple portraits felt like the two of us were just on a mini date. Multiple friends and family members commented on how great our photographers were in getting great, natural shots of all our guests. And most importantly, the photos are simply stunning -- looking at the album still makes me breathless."

"On the day of, we had a ton of fun capturing shots and just generally hanging out -- it cannot be overstated that Emily's presence really lifted the day, and our photos show genuine happiness and lots of laughter because she made us feel like ourselves. To top it all off, we received our photos so quickly after the wedding! Every photo was so well composed, and many were so playful in capturing details and faces. She captured us not only looking our best, but as our true selves."

"We wouldn’t have wanted any other photographer capturing our wedding! We were so impressed by Emily’s ability to naturally and beautifully capture moments throughout our day without pulling attention away from the experience. She asked us so many questions beforehand about what was important to us and who would be at our wedding and truly captured the things that mattered to us most."
