Family Photography

An Artistic Photography Experience

That Embraces the Tenderness of Motherhood

Family Photography

I Document While
You Play.

Between carpooling, sports schedules and work commitments, you don’t have time to go shopping, and everyone will most likely complain about what they’re wearing anyway.
You spend countless hours of your life playing referee for your children, and you don’t want to invite a photographer to capture your family’s chaos.
In the moments where you need your husband and your children to cooperate and be on board the most, it’s like everyone is battling a sugar-induced personality explosion.

What if you could embrace your family’s natural dynamic and invite a photographer along to capture it all as it unfolds organically?

As a full-service photographer, I take care of everything. From providing beautiful dresses for moms to helping you coordinate outfits for the rest of the family, let me deliver an effortless family photography experience.

You deserve family photos that go beyond stiff poses and truly embrace who you are as a family in whatever season of life you are in.

MY PROCESS

I

After your session is booked, I will give you a link to a styling database to help style your family. Easy to use and shop without leaving the comfort of your home. If styling isn’t your thing, I am more than happy to send you an inspiration board.

II

On session day, we will have fun! Your session will take place on one of our beautiful local beaches or in the comfort of my studio. It will be laid back and focus on all the family snuggles, authentic connections, and tender moments.

III

After viewing all your beautiful images online, you will choose a collection. Each collection contains digitals files+ a print credit. Click here to see how you can use your print credit.

"This was by far my favorite session I’ve ever had with a photog! She was patient and attentive to my sweet girl as well as the needs of new parents! I couldn’t be more impressed with the images she captured! There is no doubt I’ll be using her again!!”

“Emily is the perfect family photographer as she understands what it is to be a mom (of 5)! She is great with kids, organized with the process from start to finish, communicative, extremely talented and has the artistic eye capturing priceless moments!”

“Emmy Jo Photography is, by far, the best around. She has been taking our family's photos for the past 4 years and I only trust her to do so. She is a dream to work with, she is wonderful with children (so patient, creative, pleasant, and calm), and she takes a lot of pride in what she does!”

“Did a first time maternity shoot with Emily and she is a DREAM to work with!!! Me and my husband are both camera shy but she made the process so easy for us and made it feel natural. Can’t wait to do our newborn shoot with her!”

“I did a newborn and maternity shoot with Emily and I could not recommend her enough! I was very hesitant about doing a maternity shoot, but so happy that I did, because Emily made me feel absolutely beautiful! I am so happy to have these to look back on as my son gets older!”

“Emily did such a great job and made the entire experience perfect! She sent helpful tips prior to each shoot to help along the way. For the newborn shoot she worked great with my toddler and kept her involved and was so great with my newborn. If I had any questions they were answered right away!”

Heirloom-Quality
Products & Prints

I firmly believe in the significance of printing what you want to preserve because the people you hold closest to your heart deserve to revel in those memories everyday.

There is a unique joy in flipping through a box of loose prints, or thumbing through a heirloom album, or walking into a room and seeing an image of your favorite people beautifully hung on the wall. Each photograph telling a story of love, laughter, and shared moments.

Printing is not merely about preserving images; it’s about making those moments a tangible part of your daily life. Whether neatly organized in a box, elegantly displayed in an album, or proudly hanging on your wall, the act of printing preserves the emotions, connections, and love woven into each photograph.

We all have the best intentions of doing something with our images after the session is over, but life can get hectic and it is easy to push off and forget. Part of my service is going beyond the session and helping you take that next step. Everything is custom designed and ordered by me and shipped directly to you.

Each piece I offer is carefully curated just for you, handcrafted and of the highest quality. You will love knowing these images will be cherished for generations to come.
