Welcome! My name is Emily and I'm a people photographer based in New York City (but I travel anywhere!). I specialize in personality-driven portraits and beautiful moments of weddings.

Born and raised in southern Maine, I loved taking pictures of my friends, the family goats, and interesting houses with my Fisher Price 110. I enrolled in my first photography class at 17 and was hooked from then on.

Since junior high I had ambitions of being a pediatrician, though early in my college career I found this path was not for me. When I announced to my parents that I was switching majors from pre-med Biology to Photography, they didn't even bat an eye. I had immersed myself in all kinds of arts since I was a toddler, so they saw this as coming back to my calling.

Post-college I spent ten years in the great city of Chicago. Upon my arrival I worked for a commercial children's photographer while assisting many other photographers on their shoots. After five years I struck out on my own to shoot weddings, events, and portraits.

I'm now back east in the amazing city of New York City, enjoying the neighborhood of Astoria, continuing my portrait and wedding work.

I earned a B.S. in Cinema & Photography (with a Music Minor) from Ithaca College. Since graduation I've remained an active member in the alumni community. Go Bombers!

When not photographing, I enjoy my two main hobbies, swing dancing and bicycling. I've danced across the country from Maine to California and have loved meeting people along the way. I find cycling to be a fantastic method of transportation in cities, and I enjoy the occasional long distance ride. Two century rides so far (100 miles in a day), and more to come I'm sure.

Welcome to my site. I hope to meet you soon!
