Behind The Lens
Hi, I’m Emily. I also respond to Em, Emmy, Sugar Bear, Mommy, Photographer Lady, and Hey You. Pick one, make one up, call me what whatever you like, I go with the flow. My husband, Brandon, is hands-down my best friend, and without getting too sappy, he is absolutely amazing. Our daughter Bexley is the coolest, smartest little girl we know, and we’re aware at the bias. I love photography, especially weddings, and I cry during almost every daddy-daughter dance. I hope you love exploring my website and blog. Let’s meet up sometime for coffee!
Emily goes above and beyond to make sure your pictures are what you want and how you want them, no matter what it takes.

BROOKE + AARON | OUTDOOR BLUSH B&B WEDDING | SECOND SHOOTING | KARA EVANS PHOTOGRAPHY
Timber Creek Bed + Breakfast, Paxton, IL Second shooting for me often means having to travel a bit. Paxton is a town FULL of churches, but skimpy on reception venues! However, last September I had the wonderful opportunity to second shoot alongside Kara Evans, a...
