“It was so amazing working with Emily! She is super encouraging & makes you feel comfortable instantly. I have a fear of the camera, but Emily knew how to hype me up, pose me, and make me feel like an absolute queen. Emily is such a joy to be around and work with & is one of the most caring and sweetest people I’ve ever met. Not only is she insanely talented with the camera, but she also has such an art with makeup & hair! She made me feel the most beautiful and confident I have ever felt!"

All of my favorite photos of me have been taken by Emily over the last seven years, so I knew as soon as I was engaged I wanted her to take our photos. Not only did she do my hair and makeup, but she styled me from her client closet and coordinated my fiance’s outfits to match. Emily took her time to truly understand our vision, and she 100% brought our ideas to life. I was ASTOUNDED when she personalized our shoot with a guitar because she knows how much my fiance loves music! She does so much research to give all her clients the best shoot, perfectly personalized to the couple, and she exceeded any expectations of how we thought our photos would turn out. Plus, we had such a fun time taking the photos with her charismatic personality behind the camera. All of our smiles and laughs are so genuine, and Zach had the best time ever! I can't wait for her to capture our wedding! I highly recommend using her for your couple or engagement shoot!!

“I have known Emily for a couple years now, and I absolutely love her! She is so sweet and has the best bubbly personality that makes her so easy and fun to work with. Being a Fingerprint Senior has been more than I could even dream of. From everyone in the Fingerprints team being so caring, to Emily’s amazing hair and makeup skills, not to mention her humongous closet of clothes to choose from for your shoots, it has been unreal and more than I could ever imagine! I look forward to so much more in the future with Emily and her amazing team, along with the family I have made with it!"

“We were so happy to have Emily as our photographer. Not only did we have someone so amazing to photograph our wedding, but we also gained a new friend! We loved meeting her last year and had a BLAST at our engagement shoot. We chatted and got to know each other as Emily did my makeup for the photos, & her client closet was such a bonus - I felt so beautiful! That was so amazing. We have never had professional photos done before, but Emily made us feel so comfortable and it was so easy with her! Because of the engagement photos, we were already so comfortable and ready for wedding day. I wouldn’t have wanted anybody else to shoot our wedding. We love Emily and LOVE our photos!!!"

Emily is an absolute professional! She has been taking my photos for over a decade, and when the time came to book a maternity shoot before I delivered my baby girl, there was no question that I needed to work with Emily! Emily took care to ensure the entire session went smoothly and was stress free while guiding my husband and I through a variety of poses at various scouted locations that would bring our vision to life. We could not be happier with the stunning photographs we received and will absolutely be back for future shoots!

“For years, I have been seeing friends across the equestrian community getting their photos taken with Emily. Finally in 2021, I decided it was time to see what all this hype was about. Emily is a gifted photographer who not only captures amazing photos but conducts her business in a way unlike any other. She personally gets to know each and every one of her clients, loves to hear their ideas/visions, and genuinely is an amazing person. From hair and makeup, to amazing photos and exceptional customer service, you will not want to miss the opportunity to book a photo shoot with Emily. I never expected to book a photoshoot and end up with a life-long friend."

“Emily is incredible! I've been working with her for over a decade since I was 12. Emily is amazing at putting everyone at ease and capturing genuine photos all while slaying your session! The images are beautiful, and the moments are captured just perfectly. Emily is such a pleasure to work with and to get to know, and I am so grateful that I gained a great friend in addition to beautiful photos! Emily and her photos go so beyond exceeding expectations. I love that she doesn't just take pictures, but captures moments. Emily is so incredibly talented, and I am so lucky to have my pictures taken by her and to call her a friend!"

“Working with Emily. Man oh man. Let’s start with the energy. The ENERGY she brings is straight fireworks. From small things such as what kinda coffee do you want, to picking out your outfits, she brings excitement the entire time. She makes you feel like you’re a Hollywood movie star who’s making millions. She slayed our shoot!! I’ve worked with a lot of photographers and I hands down can say my shoot with Emily was one of my most favorite. Our images speak for themself. I seriously cannot wait for our next shoot!"
