Meet Emma!

Get To Know Me!

I’m originally from a small mountain town in North Carolina, but I’ve called Wilmington home for nearly eight years now. My love for photography started young — with a little Kodak digital camera my grandma gave me. I began by capturing sweet, candid moments at our family cookouts, and I haven’t put the camera down since.

I’ve been shooting professionally, on and off, since I was 18, and every year has deepened my passion for documenting real moments in meaningful ways. In 2024, I re-dedicated my life to Jesus, and that completely transformed how I approach my work. Now, I let the Holy Spirit guide my lens — creating photos that feel alive, intentional, and full of heart.

My style is documentary and cinematic. I aim to tell a story through every image, whether I’m capturing the quiet intimacy of a couple in love, a bold editorial concept, or a brand’s visual identity. I love pulling in creative elements — unique outfits, unexpected props, and atmosphere — to bring each session to life.

Whether we’re chasing golden hour light or creating something totally outside the box, my goal is always to reflect truth, beauty, and joy of the Lord through every frame.

My Experience

With seven years of professional shooting under my belt, I’ve honed a documentary style that turns real-life moments into cinematic stories. While I’ve loved every kind of session, my heart beats fastest when I’m working to capture the heart of your story whether its of your love or joy in a blessing, family memories. —capturing the quiet, in-between glances that say everything. I love when I can feel that the moments being captured will be reminisced on for generations to come!

What I shoot most often:

• Maternity

• Couples & Engagements

• Families

• Special-occasion celebrations

• Branding & Editorial concepts

From glowing maternity portraits to bold brand campaigns, I approach each project with the same goal: make every frame feel alive, authentic, and artfully composed. That commitment has led to my work being published in 10+ magazines, some of which are international and each feature reminds me why I fell in love with storytelling through a lens in the first place.

Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, launching a brand, or simply preserving today’s joys for tomorrow, I’d be honored to document your story.

Some fun facts about me-

* 📷 I always pray over my shoots—it’s my way of inviting the Holy Spirit into every session.

☕ Coffee is my editing fuel (Any kind, black, iced, creamy, sweet! Give me all of it).

🌸 I’ve been published in 10+ magazines, but my favorite photos are always the candid ones that feel like real life.

🌍 Dreaming of capturing beautiful moments around the world.

🛍 Thrifting + exploring cozy coffee shops are my go-to creative resets.

📖 My life verse is Songs of Solomon 6:8 "Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm. For love is as strong as death, its jealousy as enduring as the grave. Love flashes like fire, the brightest kind of flame. Many waters cannot quench love, nor can rivers drown it. If a man tried to buy love with all his wealth, his offer would be utterly scorned"

🌿 At 5’2”, I’ll still climb anything (or lay flat in the grass) to get the perfect shot.

💛 I believe the best photos aren’t posed—they’re lived-in, joy-filled moments.
