GET TO KNOW
YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER
I'm an Arizona-native and moved to Chicago at 18. I love the midwest, but I'll always have a soft spot for the desert + her adventures. I'm obsessed with love stories (especially if they feature Tom Hanks & Meg Ryan), the outdoors, and making new Spotify playlists almost daily.
I've been a Swiftie since 2008, but also love 80s, folk, rap, and classical. I could talk with you for hours about theology, The Hunger Games, pop culture, or whatever you're passionate about.
I married my best friend, Josh, in October 2025, and we work together at our church in the Chicago suburbs - dream team!
If you're a person who smiles big, stops to smell the roses, and sees each a day as a new adventure, we'll be a great team!
Hey, I'm Emma!
Can't wait to meet you!!
Through photography, I get to do what I do best, most passionately and naturally: tell your story. It's what I do 24/7 anyways, and I'm honored to get to do it for your special moments whether it's your wedding day, senior year, or just because. My mission is to make you comfortable and feel like the truest version of yourself when you're in front of my camera. Our time together will be bubbly and full of laughs, while making sure to document your truest self.
When I was six, I started a family newspaper. I wrote stories of what was happening in our fairly-mundane home, drew pictures, photocopied it, and distributed copies around the dinner table. When I was fourteen, my family took a roadtrip from our home in the suburbs of Phoenix to the heart of downtown Chicago. I don't think my camera left my hand once. Even now, I'm the "bookkeeper" of my friend groups, always saying "remember when...?" and bringing up old photos and out-of-context quotes ;)
I've always loved telling stories.

My own wedding was the best day of my life. I'll never stop getting teary-eyed and giddy just thinking about it! It was magical, joyful, and perfect.
Soon after our wedding was done, I forgot how our tables looked. I didn’t see my mom tearing up during my dance with my dad. There’s so much I didn't get to see firsthand, and I’m okay with that.
That's because I knew we had an incredible photographer immortalizing every detail, every moment. This helped me be 100% present on our wedding day. That’s what made it so special and memorable - I was there for all of it without an ounce of FOMO. I have every memory, seen and unseen, documented forever.
Photos capture it the way you deserve to remember it, and beyond. You deserve wedding photos that will preserve the magic forever.
