Time moves fast. Kids don’t stay little forever. Your family changes. Don’t wait for the “perfect moment.” Now is the time to create photographs that you will cherish forever. Having your photos taken is not just a session, it’s an experience meant to capture the love that your family shares that you will be reminded of every time you see those photos on your wall.
Here's where I'm going to build excitement and write to inspire you.
Emma Jo is AMAZING! We've done a few couple and family shoots with her, and the results are breathtaking.

Hi friend, i'm emma jo
I'm so excited to get to know you, but first, here is just a little bit more about me
At 13 years old, I handed the cashier at Costco (of all places!) $500 cash for my first camera. I’ve loved being behind the camera ever since. I remember the first time I photographed people. I remember the excitement they expressed when getting their photos back. I wanted to bring this excitement to as many people as I could.
Family sessions are so fun to photograph because each session tells a unique story. I always have so much fun with a family in front of my camera.
I always start with getting your kiddos to smile at the camera, to ensure you have the photo you’ll put on your Christmas card. Then, I like to have a little fun. I’ll capture the genuine intereactions and laughter of your family.
I believe that being photographed is a very personal thing. My approach to photography is relational, so that you feel comfortable being in front of my camera, while also providing a professional and luxury experience. I desire for us to get to know each other, so we’ve already created a relaxed and relational environment when I show up to your senior portraits.
By the time your senior portraits are here, we will have already chatted about your hopes, dreams, and vision for your senior portraits. I’ll know every time detail I need to know from my Senior Questionnaire and we will have a plan to make your senior portraits PERFECT! I cannot wait to get started!

add-ons
Film photography
add-on
Light and color is captured through film in a way that feels nostalgic and classic. Digital images often lack the softer tones, natural grain, and rich textures that are characteristics of film.
Film gives your portraits a timeless feel, creating heirloom keepsakes for generations to come.
