Photographs and Films
that Capture the
Seasons of life
Serving Tacoma, WA along with the greater pacific northwest
I am a photographer and videographer based in Tacoma, but I also serve surrounding areas in and around Western Washington. I am also up for travel depending on your location.
Photography and Videography bring me so much joy as I have had many different experiences working with each and every client. I've been present at the birth of newborn babies. I've seen couples become parents for the first time as they settle into their homes welcoming their newborn baby. I have seen families grow, from one, to two, to three plus kids. I've seen little kids become high school seniors, blossoming into the next stage of their life. Photography has been a gift and a teacher in my life.
Whether you prefer posed portraits, photos of kids running and playing, or cinematic home movies, I'm here for all of it. My main goal is to be present with each an every client, and focus on capturing the personality and essence of each person who steps in front of my camera. It doesn't matter what you wear how you show up, as long as you show up as YOU. I can handle the chaos of toddlers running around and screaming, a crying baby, and nervous adults who aren't a fan of having their photos taken. My job is to make sure you feel comfortable and to capture the most beautiful photos as possible.
Let's take some pictures! I'm excited to meet you!
MY service offerings
I offer a variety of services. Learn more about what I can offer you below
Families
My family sessions are a mix of posed and play. Whether you are posing or playing, neither needs to be perfect. You and your family can show up as you are. My goal is always first and foremost to capture the connection you have with each other. If you focus on one another, the rest will fall into place.
Seniors
Senior sessions are a beautiful moment in time to capture how far your child has come in the 18 years of their life. I want to create images for you and your child to see how they have blossomed into the person they are now, as they look forward to a new season of life.
Films
I offer a variety of films, from weddings, births, and branding. But my heart and gifts are in Family Films. I love capturing the mundane of life, I want to show you the magic, in the mess, and slowness and the simplicity of life. Family films are like old home movies that you and your kids will watch again and again.
Babies
Babies are babies for the first two years of life. I can capture a swaddled up tiny baby who sleeps all day, to a baby who is happiest on their back in gurgling with their toes in their mouth, or a baby learning to walk for the first time, stumbling around, putting everything in ther mouth.
Events
When it comes to the events I am available for; think small. I can capture Weddings with 50 or less people in attendance, to a birthing room with you, your partner and a midwife. The events I do are BIG in life and small in size. Please reach out for more details if you would like me to capture a special event in your life.
Legacy Photos & Films
Legacy sessions are photos and films that create the opportunity for our elders to tell their story through images of them in places they love, doing what they love. Films allow one to tell their story orally with beautiful visuals capturing the one's personality as well as artifacts that also help tell their story. This is a new offering, please reach out if you are interested in a discount.
"it's always a fantastic experience with gorgeous photos and films. Emily gets beautiful photos, even in bad lighting or less-than-picturesque indoor settings riddled with baby and toddler items. She captures sweet moments and interactions in our family."
