Hey, I’m Emily!

I am located just outside of Lima, Ohio. As a mama myself, I know how chaotic and busy life can be. Yet, these are the golden years, for you and your children.

I want to make this process simple so that you really can just

show up,

slow down,

& love on your family.

P.S. Your digitals shouldn’t be an extra thing on your to-do list, so I help you print your images too!

Kind Words from Past Families

"Emily did such a nice job on our family photos! I was nervous about having a not quite 2 year old and a newborn but Emily was patient and got my 2 year old involved which she loved! I loved that we were able to capture photos in our own house! Made it that much more comfortable. Emily was attentive and patient and never made me feel rushed during the process! Would definitely recommend.”

I FINALLY printed some of my favorite family pictures I have taken over the years along with some of our wedding photos from 2019. I framed these images and now I have sentimental photographs all over my home including the kitchen, living room, dinin
