Hi, I’m Emily!

I’m a San Diego photographer who believes the best photos aren’t always the perfectly posed ones, they’re the moments in between. The belly laughs, the messy hair, the little hands holding yours, the way your partner looks at you when you aren’t paying attention. Those are the moments I want to remember.

As a San Diego native, I’ve always loved the beautiful, laid-back energy of Southern California, and I’m lucky enough to turn that love for the place I call home into a career capturing people and their stories.

My photography style is natural, warm, and playful. I want your session to feel less like a photoshoot and more like an afternoon spent together making memories. Whether we’re chasing little ones around the beach, celebrating a growing family, documenting a milestone, or simply capturing this season of life, I’ll give you plenty of direction while leaving room for the real moments to unfold.

When I’m not behind the camera, you can usually find me enjoying everything San Diego has to offer, soaking up time with the people I love, and probably taking way too many photos of everyday life.

Your family won’t look exactly like anyone else’s—and your photos shouldn’t either.

Let’s create something that feels like you.
