Let me take a wild guess: You're here because you want your photos to finally feel like you. You've been searching for a photographer who invests in understanding you, works hand-in-hand with your ideas, and crafts an unforgettable, tailor-made journey from start to final product.
Whether it's intentional family photos, a jaw-dropping maternity shoot, or an exhilarating adventure session you're after, I've got all the energy and creativity to make it happen!
I'm a family and couples photographer located in dreamy Wilmington, North Carolina. I photograph the Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, Fort Fisher, and Topsail Beach areas and I literally cannot wait to meet you.
Creating an experience that feels like a big, cozy hug from start to finish... that's what I do.
Before I even pick up the camera I’m already focused on something more important: you. Your story, your connection, your “why.” Because you’re never just clients to me, you’re the soul behind every frame.
My goal? To create images that feel like something. Moments that stir your heart and bring you right back to how it all felt. Warmth. Joy. Real connection. The kind of photos you don’t just look at... you live in.

"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!"
Whether you're gearing up for a spontaneous adventure, celebrating a milestone, or simply want to freeze-frame a moment in time, you're in the right place. With a knack for turning ordinary moments into extraordinary memories, I'm excited to bring your vision to life!
