Kind Words From Joyful People
“THIS GIRL IS AMAZING. There are not enough stars or commendable words I can give Emily for all she’s done for me and my family. She did our wedding day, my daughter’s newborn photos, and our family fall pictures for our Christmas card. This review should have been done a long time ago but life gets in the way, of course. First, Emily did our wedding day photos and she was extremely communicative leading up to the day and all during which I absolutely loved. Her mom came with her as well and definitely added her eye to the experience. Emily was also able to pivot for me when I had a pose or scene I wanted to do or an adjustment to the schedule. She made everything so easy and remained one step ahead of me throughout the day. She also got us sneak peaks the NIGHT OF the wedding even though it didn’t end until 9pm. Then she did our daughter’s newborn photos and it was all perfect! She drove at least 2 hours to meet us halfway (we live in Central NC) and still had the energy that we love! Then she did the same thing for our Christmas pictures. She always has the best spots or scenes that you wouldn’t think would work and they always do! She is able to inspire everyone in my family to take photos as well which is a great skill when we have a baby up to a teenager. I could go in all day about how skilled and flexible she is, even with the products and prints that we asked for following the photo shoot. Her customer service and amazing work ethic doesn’t stop after the shoot, she will continue to answer questions and help you well after! Both her and her mom feel like a member of our family at this point. You absolutely rock Emily and we are only sad that we are moving and hope to be back one day to visit and get our pictures taken again!”

"Emily is so sweet to work with. Not only is she family but a wonderful photographer! Nothing stops her from taking beautiful pictures! She took our engagement pictures on a cold day on the top of Max Patch Bald, to wedding pictures in Franklin, and our family pictures! She’s so good with the kids! I recommend her to everyone who needs pictures done!"

“She made my husband and I feel so comfortable being lovey-dovey in front of her for the photos of just the two of us.”
“We had a family portrait sessions for Christmas cards. Our experience was wonderful. Emily took her time with us, especially our kids, making us all feel comfortable and camera ready. Myself, as the mom, loved that she took time before each photo snap to make sure my hair was right and that my clothes were sitting right. If anything needed to be tugged on or situated she walked right over and helped me out and I really appreciated that attention to detail. In moments that we felt as if we didn’t know how to pose or what to do she jumped right in with clear and fun direction, never letting us feel awkward for a single second. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable being lovey-dovey in front of her for the photos of just the two of us. She had so many tricks to get our kids to have fun and smile big, feeling comfortable and just having the best time with her, because of this, their individual personalities really show through their photos. We can’t wait to have another session with her!”
