Kind Words from Past Families
"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, patient, and never made me feel rushed during the process! Would definitely recommend.”
-Morgan
"I’ll be honest, in the moment I was skeptical about lifestyle photos—with a 3 year old bringing all her “no’s” and silliness, and an unsettled newborn. Emily was just the sweetest, taking it all in stride and following their leads. She guided us through it with her gentle, open approach.
-April
Hey, I’m Emily!Ohio family photographer for Lima, Ottawa, Delphos, Kalida, Van Wert, Findlay, and the surrounding areas.
I’m a photographer, but first, I’m a mom. I know what it feels like to want photos you’ll treasure— while worrying about how the kids will act, if your house is picture-ready, or if you will feel awkward in-front of the camera.
That’s why my approach is simple: real moments over perfect poses. I’ll guide you through the session with gentle direction and playfulness so your session feels more like family time than a photoshoot.
