Southern Maine & Greater Portland

My family sessions are designed to feel relaxed, playful, and centered around connection, not perfection. There’s no pressure for everything to go “just right.” Instead, we lean into the real moments, the laughter, the movement, the in-between, that make your family yours.


As a mom of three, I truly understand how it can feel showing up to photos with little ones. I’ll gently guide you throughout the session so it feels natural, easy, and enjoyable for everyone.


You don’t have to wait for the perfect time - this season, just as it is, deserves to be remembered.


Sessions take place outdoors at golden hour. I serve families within 30 minutes of Portland, Maine.

Can we do a start time before sunset?

Lighting is key

Because my portfolio is based around sunset images, I start all my session (besides studio) one hour before sunset. If the forcast on the day of your session calls for overcast skis, we may move your session start time up by an hour or so depending on lighting.

I know parents are worried about kiddos up late but we keep it short & fun!

Choose your vibe

Selecting your location

Think about the kind of images you’re drawn to - whether that’s the coast, an open field, or the comfort of your own home.

Choosing a style and overall feel you love will help shape the perfect location for your session.

I’m always happy to share my favorite spots and help you find the one that feels just right for your family.

What should I bring?

how to prep for a fun experience

I recommend bringing a few simple items to keep things easy and stress-free:

Non-messy snacks & drinks for little breaks
Wipes (always helpful!)
A favorite toy or comfort item
A kite or something playful for movement
A simple family activity you love

For older kiddos, it’s always a great idea to bring something they enjoy -like a football, frisbee, or anything that helps them feel comfortable and have fun.

The goal is to keep things light, playful, and true to your family

KIND WORDS

Emily is a super talented photographer. We did a maternity shoot with her and she put us at ease instantly, it ended up being so fun. The photos came out amazing--I've worked with a lot of photographers and I can assure you Emily is top notch.

We had Emily capture both our maternity shoot and newborn family shoot! We absolutely loved both experiences—she was so kind, professional, and so generous with her time and commitment to capturing amazing photos. She’s so timely with sneak peeks as well as the whole gallery (both times giving us more photos than initially expected which we so appreciated!). Our biggest issue is choosing our favorite photos to print out. Anyone would be so happy with choosing Emily to capture any moments you’d want!

Emily did an absolutely amazing job capturing my maternity photos, newborn photos, and our Christmas photos. She makes every session feel so easy and comfortable, which truly shows in her work. Emily has such a natural talent for capturing real, beautiful moments, and every photo feels genuine and full of heart. She’s patient, kind, and really listens to what you want while somehow exceeding expectations every time. I’m so grateful to have these memories captured so perfectly and couldn’t recommend her more

Emily made the photoshoot feel easy and I could not be more happy with what she captured. She knew exactly what I was looking for and executed the shots PERFECTLY! It’s not easy to capture pictures like this while trying to keep a toddler engaged, but she made it so easy and fun! She understood my vision perfectly- which I feel is rare. I will cherish these photos forever. I’m so grateful to have found her!
