Emily is so wonderful! I had an intimate maternity shoot, and she made me feel so comfortable and beautiful. She just said made the experience so fun. The pictures are incredible and truly captured the essence of my pregnancy experience.  She is professional, has such contagious energy, and knows how to capture the moment in a special way.

Trusted by Moms for Candid, Joyful Photos

Hi, I’m Emily—an East Bay Area photographer with a big heart, a love for capturing real moments, and a knack for making kids feel at ease. Before photography, I spent years as a school counselor and that experience gave me a deep understanding of child development and family dynamics.

Today, I bring that same patience, empathy, and joy to every session, whether I’m chasing giggling toddlers or capturing the quiet beauty of new motherhood.

I believe that the best photos come from real connections and authentic moments. That’s why I focus on creating a relaxed, comfortable environment where your family can just be yourselves.

Whether we're at home for newborn photos, on the cliffs of the Marin Headlands or walking in the hills below Mt. Diablo, it's about the connection

No stiff poses, no pressure—just the joy, love, and little moments that make your family unique. I’m here to help you feel confident, beautiful, and most importantly, present in every shot.

Hey! I'm Emily!
