"Such a relaxed session with Emily. If your kids are wild and don’t always like to cooperate, no worries, Emily is laid back and gives them time to open up and show their personalities!"
The Mckichan Family

"Emily is wonderful! She has photographed our wedding, maternity photos, and our latest family session! Emily is great with the little ones, and really puts you at ease instead of forced poses. Love, love, love her! Always responds quickly and the quality of the images are perfection"
Frequently Asked Questions
What if my children don't cooperate?
That's completely okay—and honestly, it's expected! Children don't need to sit still and smile perfectly for an entire session. I use prompts, games, movement, and play to capture genuine connection and authentic moments.
How do we prepare our children?
The best thing you can do is keep the session positive. Let them know you'll be spending time together and having fun. Avoid putting pressure on them to smile or behave perfectly.
Can we include our pets?
In many cases, yes! Pets are family too. Please mention them when booking so we can choose a location that accommodates them.
What kind of photos can we expect?
You'll receive a mixture of smiling-at-the-camera portraits, playful interactions, genuine laughter, snuggles, and candid moments that tell the story of your family exactly as you are right now.
What should parents keep in mind during the session?
Trust the process. Children are meant to move, explore, laugh, and sometimes be a little wild. The less pressure everyone feels, the more authentic and meaningful your images will be. My goal isn't perfect behavior—it's capturing the love and connection that make your family uniquely yours.
