Meet Emily
Hi, I'm Emily—the daydreamer and romance-obsessed half of our husband-and-wife team! I fell for photography as a teenager, always carrying around a camera and documenting life as it happened. Years later, I photographed my sister’s senior portraits on the Oregon Coast, and that moment sparked something bigger: a dream I could actually chase.
Shortly after, I shot my first backyard wedding, got my business license, and never looked back. Today, I’m passionate about capturing the beauty in YOUR connections—from tear-filled vows to spontaneous laughter. Whether you’re planning a wedding, celebrating a milestone, or just being yourselves, I’m here to tell your story with honesty and heart. ✨
a few of my favorite things
Dressing up and taking photos with Mike where ever we go! It's my favorite souvenir from our adventures. *photo by Shuttergram Portraits
