a little about me

Four of the cutest little people call me mama. They are my biggest inspiration (and also the cause of most of my wrinkles ;)). I am married to my best friend. Our romance is a whirlwind and we have kept quite an incredible pace, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am originally from Southern California but at a young age my parents found a cute little town just south of San Francisco and decided to call it home.

Half Moon Bay was the backdrop for my childhood. A small town known for big waves and pumpkins, but it also provided so much awe and inspriation. It was in that small town where I first fell in love with photography at about 10 years old. I would photograph the moon rising over The Johnson House while the sun was setting. I remember looking at slides on a light box and feeling so proud to have captured such a unique image. Since then I have always loved taking pictures but never pursued it much.

It was after having my first child that I decided to put more time into learning the art of photography. I love being able to capture my family’s sweetest moments and love being able to do the same for others. Life moves at lightning speed and we get these precious moments that we can only call a memory, or if we’re lucky enough, capture in an image that we can keep forever. My greatest joy is in capturing those images! We currently reside in the Sacramento area but travel to the Bay Area at least once a month to visit friends, family or our daddy at the fire house. In my spare time (yeah, spare time lol) you might find me cooking, noshing on delictible bites as I LOVE to eat, sipping on delicious wine (love that stuff), and spending lots of time making fun memories with my kids – because that’s what life is all about right?!

Lots of love! Emily

gorgeous photos.

Working with Emily was a real treat. She helped keep our 2.5 year old smiling for the photos, properly posed us, and even provided beautiful maternity dress options for the photo shoot! We were so pleased with how gorgeous our photos turned out. We can’t wait to work with her again!
