Why I love my job...

I am a creative at heart. I've been creating art in various forms since I was a tiny, wild little kid. Whether it was painting, drawing, or photographing flowers and birds on my tiny point and shoot camera, creating and documenting feels like it's been built into my DNA.

Something I've realized recently is that in all the art forms I've worked with I have always leaned towards realism. Painting things as they actually are, drawing realistic portraits, capturing the beauty of a flower or a person the way God made them. One of the trade marks of my photography is the true to life, bright, bold, happy and timeless colors and genuine emotions. I want to capture people as they truly are. I use prompts and poses that bring out genuine personalities and connection between my clients. Your God given life and story are unique, I don't want to create something that's not you, I want to document the smiles, the joys and places that make you who you are. .

What clients are saying?

“Emilia, the pictures are AMAZING!!! Every shot is beautiful and I could not have expected anything better! Thank you for helping me relive the best day ever! You are the best!! ”

– Alexa and Derek Kentucky Wedding

Emilia has done our photos since before I got married! Engagement, some maternity, family, and mama & me. I have NEVER been disappointed in my photos! She is very accommodating, and there's always some laughter going on at our sessions. She is very patient, which is important to me while having a young child. She sends your photos back to you in a timely manner and always goes above and beyond with helping you capture and keep those sweet memories! I can’t recommend her enough. "

– Michaela, returning client

"Emilia is equal parts professional, passionate and incredibly talented. Booking with Emilia was easily one of the best decision we made for our wedding day! From the beginning, the entire experience was seamless. Emilia was calm, creative and charismatic. She made us feel at ease. Her artistry shines through every photo. Every time we look at our photos, we relive the magic of the day (with happy tears!!). Emilia is a true artist and an even more wonderful human being. She is simply the best"
