You’re not just looking for pretty photos, you want something that feels like you. Something real, thoughtful, and lasting.

You're in the right place.

I'm a family and couples photographer located in dreamy Wilmington, North Carolina. I photograph the Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, and Topsail Beach areas & I literally cannot wait to meet you.


Let  Me Guess...

Get to Know ME

From the moment you reach out, my goal is simple: to make this feel easy, intentional, and like a deep breath in the middle of your full, beautiful life.

Before I ever lift my camera, I’m already paying attention to what matters to you. Your people. Your pace. The quiet in-between moments you never want to forget.

This is about creating something lasting. Not just beautiful images, but a feeling you’ll carry... one that gently reminds you: this is your life, and it’s so worth remembering.

I’m Emily & I’m here to help you slow down long enough to see the beauty in your own story. and to preserve it in a way that feels effortless, honest, and completely you.

More Than Just Photos

"Emily is someone you meet for the first time yet feel like you've known your whole life. She makes you feel like you've been behind her camera a thousand times before."

- Ashley H

"Emily is the kind of person that earnestly wants to know you so that she can better tell your story through her camera’s lens, and man does she nail it!"

- Monica F

"She had us all genuinely laughing, smiling and enjoying the process of family photos. Emily is authentic and carefree, and her photos reflect that!"
