Can I tell you something I've noticed?
You're always the one taking the picture.

A family, newborn & maternity photographer in Wilmington, NC.
I don't do perfectly posed, I do
 this season, exactly as it is:
busy, messy, real.

This is your pause button.

Full permission to just slow down and be with your people. 

Hi. I'm Emily DeLuke

You've got a thousand photos of your kids.
How many do you have of you, actually with them?

Wondering what everyone should wear? I put together shoppable style boards for the whole family. Easy, put-together looks for your session, your vacation, or any day you want.

The Experience 

Somewhere along the way, family photos became another thing for moms to manage. I don't think it should be that way. From the moment you inquire, my goal is to take as much off your plate as possible, so when your session arrives, you can simply be present with the people you love most.

Let's make things

Work With Me

My Signature Offering

The Legacy Collection

For families who want to document the whole season - maternity, newborn, and everything in between. Multiple sessions, curated galleries, and a keepsake album at the end, so nothing about this chapter gets lost.

From Bump through Baby's 1st Year

I do things a bit differently...

Instead of choosing a package before you've even seen your photographs, you'll reserve your date with a Creative Fee. Once your gallery is complete, you'll view every hand-edited image and choose the collection that feels right for your family.

I love this approach because it lets you make your decision with confidence, not guesswork. No wondering if you picked the "right" package months in advance. No paying for images you don't need. Just the freedom to choose the photographs that mean the most to you.

No decisions before you see your photos.

These are the images you'll still be looking at in thirty years. They should feel like you.

Someday you'll look back at these - not just to see how everyone looked, but to feel it again. That's what I'm really after: a little time capsule of exactly who you were.

First access. Every time. My email list always hears first.

Toni Johnson, Wilmington NC

"By far one of the most intentional, prepared and personable photographers we have worked with."

"She's  phenomonally talented..."

Amber Vencill, Wrightsville Beach 

"She's someone you meet for the first time yet feel like you've known your whole life while also managing to make you feel like you've been behind her camera a thousand times before.

Erika Loesch, Wrightsville Beach

"Emily’s personality is so warm and bright, it takes no time to get comfortable with her and into the fun."

Busy schedules, cranky kids, a husband who needs to be told what "coastal neutral" means - I plan around all of it. Even the outfits are handled, down to a style guide simple enough that he just has to show up.

I promise you won't regret this decision

I know it's a lot to coordinate. That's kind of my whole job.

A few things I always have

in my camera bag, to make your life easier.

Claw clip for windy hair!

Wipes for sandy hands

Blanket for games

Tide to go pen!
