I’M EMILY, NICE TO
INTERNET-MEET YOU!

I’m based in Minnesota, and came all the way from California for a love story I had a good feeling about. Now I’m enjoying my home sweet home in Minneapolis with my baby girl, rad husband, and our two cats - Fuji and Pepper. A beautiful love story brought me here and I want to capture yours too - whether it’s unfolding in an intimate proposal, a growing family, a destination wedding or lowkey one in your nostalgic backyard. I’m eager to use my camera and eye for meaningful moments to capture the best parts of your life and reflect them back to you. I know you’re living a glorious story too! Aren’t we lucky?!

But now about my love story with photography:

Growing up, I always took multiple disposable cameras to summer camp and would beg to have the pictures developed right when I got home. From very early on, I had this obsession with making & capturing memories. I've always loved having a camera with me, long before I realized not everyone made sure they had one at all times — long before everyone we had cameras on iphones.)

With the eye-opening insights of Shannon Leith, I learned early on in my photo-taking journey that no matter what camera you hold in your hands - or if you're holding one at all - we've all been given eyes to see the beautiful world out there. Seeing is what it’s all about. 

And I’m determined to be someone who sees intently — who notices beauty, people, the way the light dances on the wall. With eyes wide open, I want to keep falling more in love with life, and I want to capture what I see in the world around me. I'm passionate about documenting life as authentically as possible and a firm believer that photos help us appreciate the life we've been given. I've heard it said, “We are making photographs to understand what our lives mean to us” and I can’t shake that sentiment.
