I'm a southern girl at heart who loves the beach and a crispy diet coke.  My approach to photography, and business, is bright, joyful and authentic, which matches my personality. My work has been featured in Southern Bride Magazine, Saint Louis Bride, Design STL, and Chic Vintage Bride.

I'm Emily!

get to know me

No joke, I woke up one day and asked myself this exact question. Then I got to work! Researched every single thing I could about being a photographer. Became an online education junkie. And started photographing anything and anyone who would let me!

"I wonder if I could be a photographer?"

WHERE I AM NOW

FINALLY MAKING $$

I FOUND MY FOOTING

THE EARLY YEARS

THE BEGINNING

The early years included a lot of families, kids and babies. I quickly learned that I was NOT a newborn photographer. I was honing my craft on families and kids but couldn't shake the feeling that I needed to try photographing a wedding. So I found a photographer willing to take a chance on me as a second shooter. I will never forget that first wedding!

Families, kids, babies and my very first wedding.

I FOUND MY FOOTING

THE EARLY YEARS

THE BEGINNING

I came home from photographing that first wedding and KNEW to my core this is what I wanted to do. The passion was ignited, and I went all in. I rebranded to being a wedding photographer only, and went full speed ahead! Best. Decision. Ever.

Went all in on being a wedding photographer only.

THE EARLY YEARS

THE BEGINNING

There's no better industry than the St. Louis wedding industry! As my business grew, so did my community. Then came creative collaborations and new connections: co-hosting styled shoots for photographers, flat lay play days, mentorships, masterminds and vendor meetups.  

Connections. Community. Collaboration.

It's about more than hiring someone to hold a camera and snap a few pics. Wedding photography is about capturing the joyful, bright, authentic moments of your big day in a way that beautifully tells the story of your love.

Your moments matter.
