HEY, I'M EMILY!
I live on my family's horse and meat animal farm where I get a lot of my business. I run a horseback riding program and compete in barrel racing so I stay pretty busy taking pictures of kids and their horses, but. only photographing one thing can get old so I am always excited to throw in something new, such as weddings, babies, couples, seniors, sports, or families! I am also a full time elementary special ed aide and adore all kids. I have experience with children with autism, down syndrome, behavioral issues, physical disabilities, and more so this is a safe space for everyone! I have always had a love for photography. My mom had an old kodak camera that she bought to take pictures of my brother and I since my parents didn't have a lot of money to spend on professional portraits when they were first married. I remember walking around the yard with that camera day after day, taking pictures of flowers, animals, leaves, anything that looked pretty. When I was about six, my parents got me a tiny, pink camera and I loved it with all my heart until I forgot to replace the batteries and it broke. Then, when I was 12, I received a Canon Rebel T6 for Christmas. I used it for my first session that summer and again for three more later that year. Two years later, it really took off and I grew an intense love for all aspects of photography. I love to learn and deeply research everything which carries over into my business. I am constantly purchasing instructive courses, working under more experienced photographers, and watching YouTube videos to improve my client's experience and take the best pictures I can. So here I am, a 17 year old with a published photography business!
