"I would definitely recommend doing a shoot with Emma - she is so talented and such a sweet person!"

Choosing a photographer is a big commitment...
Believe me, I know. And I realized it too late for my senior photos. For my senior photos (and I still appreciate the person who took them), was a budding photographer and friend. I was happy to support his business, and while I think the photos are alright, they don't really represent who I am as a person. They don't really capture who I was in high school. Thankfully, for my wedding, I was much more committed to finding a photographer that would tell my story, and the result were timeless and beautiful!
Select a photographer who shares your passions, has what you desire in a photographer, and who wants the best for you. Are you wondering if we will click? Here are some things about me!
- I am a Jesus-follower, which means that I am going to love and care for every single human who crosses my path.
- I love working with kids and high schoolers - I am actually a teacher by day! Because of this, senior sessions and family sessions are right up my alley.
- I am passionate about serving people preparing for marriage. I think couples dating, engagement, and marriage are SO beautiful, and representative of a union designed by God. Know that in your wedding planning, I will have your best interests in mind!
- I love: tea, cats, dogs, reading, writing, snowboarding, waterskiing, soccer, running, hiking, roadtrips, sweet things, hugs, and more!
I wrote all of this to say that it's important that you choose a photographer that you vibe with, who you trust to take photos that you love, and who you know will do anything for you to get those bomb.com photos. I wish I had chosen more intentionally a photographer for my senior session when I was in high school, but I'm glad I did for my wedding! If you're still unsure after reading this, or have questions, fill out the contact form below and I will know automativally that it is low-key, low-pressure and you just want to know more about how I will serve you.
FOR YOU: Client Referral Program
As a photographer, I really value word-of-mouth in spreading my business. There is a lot of value in your words, and you now can use them to benefit you AND your friends/family!
Want an incentive to refer your friends and family to me?
I am starting a Client Referral Program, where each time you (a past client) refer a friend and the friend books with me, that friend gets 10% off ANY SESSION TYPE [excluding elopements and weddings]. Not only that, but you will also get 10% off of your next shoot with me. Now, these are cumulative! If you refer 10 friends who book sessions with me, your next shoot becomes COMPLETELY FREE.
Scroll down to see the session types, and be thinking of one that best fits your vision!

Tell me a little bit more about these adventure dates!
I came up with this idea while dating my boyfriend... we hit a point in our relationship where hanging out wasn't exciting anymore. We missed the thrill of dating!!!
Is this you?
Well, I am offering a date night for you and your boo. Here are the options: either you and I can plan the date together, or you can fill out a small questionnaire and I will surprise you with an entire date unique to YOU (within your budget, of course)!
Here are some ideas I have: gokarting, picnic at a park, road trip adventure, go fruit picking, find a cute coffee shop, et cetera!
Contact me if this sounds like something your relationship needs!
When will we get our photos?
Your will receive an online gallery link with all your photos within a maximum of three weeks (my usual delivery time is 2-3 days!). You can download all the photos from the gallery, as well as share them, choose your favorites, and order prints!
Where are you based and do you travel?
I am based in Salem, Oregon! However, I LOVE traveling around the Pacific Northwest and beyond! I decided to waive all of my travel fees for shoots within two hours of Salem - which means you can take me to a DREAMY location of your choice or my suggestion! P.S. Ask to see my location guide!
Because I am based in Salem, I am only an hour away from the coast, a few hours away from Bend, and even Washington is easily accessible! I am an avid hiker as well, and I would be eager to show you beautiful locations that fall within an hour of Salem.
If you would like to take me to another state or even further, just shoot me a message and I would love to chat with you about your vision! (I might consider giving you a significant discount...)
For driveable locations further than 2 hours from Salem, OR, I charge $30 for an extra half-hour out or $50 for a full extra hour out.
What is your wedding experience?
I shot my first wedding in June of 2022, and then shot two in August, one in September, and one in October. So, I've got 5 weddings under my belt currently! I have a lot of photography experience, I'm a quick learner in the wedding industry, and I LOVE WEDDINGS - they make me cry every single time. Also, I just had my own wedding in July of 2022, so I am very familiar with all of the behind-the-scenes wedding work!
That being said, I would LOVE to shoot your wedding - I am excited to apply all I have been learning so far. Contact me for more details!

I have had two sessions with Emma and I tell you, she is the best! Emma always makes me feel confident and comfortable during the shoot. She does the absolute most for everyone. I had told her a general aesthetic I was trying to go for, and she looked out for weeks in advance the backdrops that would suit what I was looking for. Emma is truly a gem and everyone should get a chance to experience a photoshoot with her at least once!
Vienna
Emma is the best photographer for anyone out there. She literally hyped me up during our photoshoots which gave me a lot of confidence. I’m an introvert and I am genuinely awkward when meeting new people, but Emma made the mood so chill that I felt comfortable a few minutes after our session started. Emma captures beauty. I thoroughly talked to her about how I imagined my dream photoshoot would be, and man oh man, she exceeded my expectations! Furthermore, my photos turned out breathtaking. They were stunning. I really really really luv them. My photoshoot sessions with her will always have a special spot in my heart that I will forever cherish.
