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.”

Hey, I’m Emily!
Emily Ricker, the photographer, holding her camera.

As a mama myself, I know how stressful it can be to get pictures taken, but it doesn’t have to be!

I have been photographing families for 5 years, and I have two little girls of my own. I have mastered capturing core memory moments for families, including my own.

P.S. I don’t want to add to your to-do list so I help you print your images too!

So, we started something big. We started homeschool this week. It has always been a dream of mine, but I never thought it was possible. I didn’t want to make the decision for myself alone, because I think there is a point to be had about kids g
Five years ago, I started photographing my daughter to document all the little details I didn't want to forget. I quickly realized that if I was the one documenting, then I was also the one that wasn’t in the shot. I used to dress her up in c
