HI, I’M EMMA!
The lady behind the lens! I’m a 26 year old living in Adel, Iowa with my amazing husband and sweet daughter. I love everything about the outdoors and exploring new places.

i strive to capture timeless + authentic photos you can cherish forever.
Love notes from past clients
“Emma was phenomenal to work with! She made everything leading up to the photos as stress free as possible; from helping with deciding color schemes and outfits, to finding us exactly what we wanted in a location for the photos. Emma made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and kept things light and fun! We are beyond happy with the result from our family session.”— Lydia
“Emma was an absolute doll to work with. She made the entire session so natural and comfortable. Working with two toddlers isn’t an easy task, and Emma made it look like a breeze! Even while corralling two rambunctious toddlers, our shoot came out amazing!! I can’t recommend her enough!”— Trinity
“Emma did an outstanding job! I truly believed there were not going to be any usable images after the toddler meltdowns what felt to be the whole time, but dang look at these!! I am in love to say the least. Thank you for capturing these images of my little family.”— Sarah
