Hey there!
I'm Emily

I believe the best photos happen in the spaces between the poses. My goal isn't to tuck your chin and tilt your head until you feel like a statue; it's to get you moving. laughing and interacting. I use gentle prompts to that spark genuine emotion, ensuring your gallery feels like a true reflection of your personality.

I believe great stories transcend mediums, classic style is eternal, and breakfast pizza is historically underrated.

My Style

My approach to photography is rooted in the belief that you deserve more than just a gallery of images. You deserve a collection of meaningful memories. I prioritize natural, fluid movement over stiff, traditional posing to ensure that every session feels as effortless as it looks. By focusing on authentic emotion and the beauty of candid moments, I aim to capture the genuine smiles and unscripted connections that make your story yours.

My Story

I've always been driven by a deep seated need to document the fleeting details of life, ensuring that no memory is ever forgotten. My heart is happiest when I'm traveling and exploring. I'm the crazy person that will wake up well before sunrise to catch the first morning rays to hit the US. The passion for exploration and storytelling is what I bring to every session.

My Method

When I'm designing and planning your session, whether it's a senior, engagement, or portrait session, I want to tailor it to you. I want it to speak to who you are and celebrate your life's greatest moments. Each of my sessions come with a free consultation, so I can get to know you and what you're envisioning for your photos.

BEHIND
the LENS

I'm emily — em, for short. i'm an avid reader, reality tv lover, constant world-wanderer, and reluctant hiker.

Most days you can find me at home with my two crazy girls and amazing husband. They definitely keep life interesting! I'm mostly known for my sarcasm and how loud I am; I always joke that I have volume control issues.

When I'm not working on your gorgeous images as your new Syracuse Photographer, you can catch me working on projects around our house - I'm always looking for my next DIY.
