The Photographer
Hi, I’m Emily!
My passion for photography started at a very young age. I was the annoying friend with the camera at every social gathering, taking candids of small talk, and forcing you into a group to say "cheese." I have albums upon albums of 4x6 prints labeled in detail on the side. I'm an old soul at heart, mainly because I don’t try to keep up with the times, I love to rest and take in nature, and I love to sip a hot beverage on the porch with friends.
I'm a world traveler. I met my amazing and studly husband in Peru, where we fell in love and got married in less than a year. We never met each other’s family or friends before popping the questions. We just knew!! Our first pet together was a monkey named Abu (may he rest in peace). After leaving the jungles of Peru, we got married, and ten years later we now have three amazing and beautiful children : Hudson, Jack, and June! They are our pride and joy!!
