Hi! I'm Emily. It's nice to meet you!

I'm busy capturing first breaths and all of life's most cherished moments in between.

In 2014, I picked up my first camera. I had no idea what I was doing but I knew I had a passion for documenting life's important moments. This point of view all stemmed from my personal family not having a ton of photos to look back on through the years. I wanted to change that for other families.


I spent a lot of time googling, watching YouTube videos and mentoring with other photographers to learn.


I've taken over one million photos since I officially started my business in 2015.


I'd like to think I've photographed it all: newborns, families, seniors, weddings, professional headshots, branding photoshoots and more. I've even been in agricultural labs photographing their recent studies.

However, my "first love" will always be family photography. God designed us to be family focused and I love being able to capture just that.


I've traveled all over the county, state, country and world capturing important moments for people I love.

Time is the only thing we can't get back. I’m here to help you press "pause" and capture this season of life.

LOCAL

I'm local to the Kandiyohi County area. Being born and raised here, I have dozens of locations to choose around the county that will photograph well throughout all of the seasons. Upon booking, I'll send you my locations guide to help you decide what will best serve you and your family.

Thank you

To each family that has chosen to include me in their special moments, "thank you" doesn't quite cover it. It's such an honor to be invited into hospital rooms, churches, open fields, homes and gravel roads to capture what's important to you.

My doors are only open because of your willingness to be in front of the camera. Thank you!

Kind words

"Emily was asked to photograph one of the hardest situations. My friends lost their baby boy during childbirth. I asked Emily if she could come that same night to the hospital and capture photographs for this grieving family. Emily came in with so much grace, gentleness and loving professionalism. The family now has these heartfelt photographs of their baby son who can live on in their hearts and through the memories of the pictures Emily captured for them. "
