Hello!
I'm Emily!
A little about me
I’m Emily, a wedding, elopement and portrait photographer based in Buffalo, New York with 14 years of experience under my belt.
Lover of the mountains and blue hour. Traveling anywhere and everywhere. Inspired by summer night sunsets, Mother Nature and road-trips. Capturing couples love stories in the most real and raw way I can. The only time you’ll find me inside is when I’m in full editing-mode turning your photos into everlasting memories.
My favorite people in the world are my husband, Josh, my daughter, Elenni, my dog, Gunner, and the Buffalo Bills - not necessarily in this order! Last but not least, I LOVE traveling to new places and taking photos for couples so in love they make me wanna cry.
A photographer bringing ease, authenticity and fun into your wedding day.

MY FAV THINGS
FAMIlY, COFFEE, SUNSETs, Travel
My favorite things in life are the ones that fill my heart and make every day feel richer and more meaningful.
At the very top is my family: my husband, our beautiful daughter, and our dog Gunner. They bring endless love, laughter, and those quiet, perfect moments we share. Whether we're out in nature on a sunny afternoon, spreading out a blanket for a cozy picnic, or simply watching the sunset paint the sky, being with them makes everything better.
A hot cup of coffee in the morning while watching the birds at the feeders has become my daily ritual. Traveling and exploring new places. Whether it's a long road trip or just wandering somewhere scenic, it always recharges my soul.
And yes, I'm a Buffalo Bills fan. I love attending games, but nothing beats snuggling up on the couch with my family, to cheer them on!
This is what my cozy corner of the world is all about.

MY CORE VALUES
CREATIVITY, AUTHENTICITY, KINDNESS
Creativity: I love a good challenge when it comes to shooting unexplored locations, nervous couples, or unexpected weather. I’ll find a creative solution to any test life throws my way, and one thing you can be sure of: your memories will be beautifully captured to revel in for a lifetime.
Authenticity: This girl plays no games. I bring my whole self to the shoot, and I wish for nothing less from you. I want to capture who you truly are, and I will work right alongside you to let your light shine in those photos!
Kindness: I wholeheartedly believe in the power of kindness. This world is already harsh enough, and I’ve learned the hard way that a little kindness can go a long way. I believe honesty and kindness can go hand-in-hand and I never want to compromise on either of those!
BEHIND THE LENS
Genuine connections
When a client hires me to capture their photos, my approach is all about creating a relaxed, enjoyable experience that brings out their authentic self. I start by getting to know you. Your story, your vision, and what makes you connect with each other. Whether it's a family photos in a sun-dappled park, an engagement session at the beach, or a cozy session at home with your loved ones.
I focus on those natural, unposed moments that tell your unique story, using gentle guidance and a bit of fun to make the process feel effortless.
What I love most is building genuine connections that often grow into lifelong friendships. I'm honored when clients welcome me back into their space year after year to document their memories as their family grows and changes.

I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a fun, comfortable, beautiful experience getting their pictures taken!"

"Emily is the most down to earth, hard working, and talented person I know. She truly gives 110% to each of her clients, she creates magic every single time she’s behind the camera. I could never imagine working with another photographer after working with Emily!! When you leave your first session with her, you are not only getting memories of you and your loved ones, you also will have a lifelong friend!! Will recommend Emily to everyone I know. She’s a freakin QUEEN"

"I’ve followed Emily’s work on social media for a while and have always loved her photos. When I finally booked her for our family pictures, I was impressed before we even met. She reached out well in advance to ask about our inspiration, requested photos of our home, and even helped us select outfits.
From the moment she arrived, it felt like welcoming an old friend into our home. We never felt rushed, and she was incredibly patient and easygoing when our youngest had a meltdown. She was so wonderful to work with that by the end of the session, our girls preferred Ms. Emily’s help over mommy and daddy’s!
The photos themselves are absolutely beautiful and capture our family perfectly. Emily is truly more than just a photographer, she creates an experience and memories we will treasure forever. We highly recommend her!

"Emily is truly incredible ! She took our engagement photos and traveled to Sedona AZ to capture our elopement. She is so kind and unbelievably talented! Greg and I can be so awkward in photos but she made us feel comfortable and made everything so fun! We highly recommend her and couldn’t be happier with how our photos came out.

Whether you're planning an intimate elopement, a wedding, or a portrait session, I make sure your best memories are documented to reflect the raw, authentic love you share with your partner. Posed, awkward photos are not in my dictionary. I’m a nature-loving, barefoot-shooting, sunset-chasing photographer that turns into your hype girl as soon as you step in front of the camera.
Two Hearts.
One Story.
Every love story is different. Yours deserves to be told authentically.
Let's create some magic
