Photos to remember this season of life.
This is it.
These are the good old days.
I'm here to photograph this part of your story - the love, the joy, and the days you never want to forget.
I photograph couples, families, seniors, newborns & kids.
Families come in all shapes and sizes. Whether you're looking for someone to capture your newborn, your senior, you and your partner or just you (or all of the above) - I got you.
I'm based in Sioux City, Iowa. I also frequently travel to the Twin Cities area of Minnesota where a lot of my family is located. I work in both locations and the surrounding areas.

My goal is to capture not just what these moments look like, but what they feel like.

FAQ
Where will we be taking our pictures?
A. It depends on the type of session you're looking for. For seniors, couples, families, and maternity portraits, we almost always shoot outside. I have a number of outdoor locations I like to use that we can discuss and choose from when booking. Outdoor sessions offer the best lighting and the most flexibility with space and posing options - not to mention beautiful colors and scenery. Newborn sessions are most often taken in the comfort of your own home. This is usually easiest for new mothers and the most authentic, since this is likely where you're spending most of those first few weeks anyways! That being said, there are no rules. You want an in-home engagement session or an outdoor newborn session (weather permitting, of course) - let's do it!
What should we wear?
A. First and foremost, whatever you decide to wear should be something that you feel comfortable in. I want you to love your photos, and it's a lot harder to capture authentic portraits of you being you when you don't feel comfortable with what you're wearing. I will also be asking you to move around during your session, so choose an outfit that will allow you move (and sit on the ground!) with relative ease. Beyond that, neutral colors are always a win! If you'd prefer to incorporate more color, look for colors that complement each other. I will send you my free style guide when you book in case you're looking for some guidance! And don't forget to dress for the weather if your shoot is outside!
When will we receive our gallery and how many photos will be included?
A. You will receive a link via email to your full gallery within 10 days. Your gallery will come with a download code so that you can download the entire gallery or single images as you wish. I always guarantee a minimum number of images depending on the type of session, however, there are usually a lot more. When everything goes smoothly and everyone is going with the flow, your gallery will have more images. Sometimes an unsure toddler or a very excited dog take a little more coaxing, which may result in a slightly lower photo count - but regardless of the situation, I can assure you, we'll get some beautiful portraits. Life happens, and that's what we're looking to document anyways, right?
"Emma was a joy to work with. She is patient, engaging, and talented! Our kids were immediately comfortable and even had fun. We are in love with our photos and perfectly captured our family. We look forward to booking with her again."

"Emma is hands down one of the best photographers. She captured some amazing pictures of the kids and did so much to try and get them to laugh. 100% recommend her to get any pictures you need done!"
