Hi. I'm Emily DeLuke
Kids never sit still
They never have to
Storytelling has always been second nature to me - scrapbooks, journals, polaroids, cards I'll never ever throw away. I've always been drawn to holding onto the moments that feel like they're slipping by too fast. Now, as a wife and mom myself, that's only gotten more true....
I hold onto everything, including a camera
The part where I tell you how I got here.
The ordinary Tuesday. The way my own kids laugh at something only our family finds funny.
I notice it all and I feel very lucky that I get to notice it for your family, too. I'm warm, I'm curious about literally everyone I meet, and if you tell me your Enneagram type, I will absolutely bring it up again later. But more than any of that I get to know you before I ever show up with a camera
So your session doesn't feel like a formula. It feels like yours.
I started thinking about the mama I'll be 20 years from now. I want my girls to see more than what they looked like as children. I want them to see the love that surrounded them. The way I held them. The way we laughed. The way our family felt in this exact season.
My own journey into motherhood changed the way I photograph families.

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.
Work With Me
No decisions before you see your photos.
