the

EXPERIENCE

This is a moment to step away from the craziness and busyness of life for a moment and just be. My style is documentary, so my goal isn't to fake some cute moment just to have a photo of you guys fake laughing. I want to capture the essence of who you are. I want to give you photos you can look on in 10 years and FEEL the same emotion you were feeling in this season of life.

TO HOLD SPACE //

Throughout everything that changes in our world, photos have the ability to hold space for the moments that slip so quickly past us. I'm not one to hold onto photos that just fill space. I love the art of older film photography, in that since there is limited space, each photo has to be so intentional & desired.

I feel the same about modern photography. Each photo I take and keep tells a story and isn't just there to hit a certain maximum or minimum number of photos.

my heart

I want to serve you through these photographs and through this experience. My goal is to use my gifts to capture a piece of your life and your heart and serve you in the best possible way that I can. Even though this may seem small, I desire to put my entire heart into it.

As St. Teresa of Calcutta says,

“We cannot all do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”

This is my small thing.

This is my heart.

now for a little bit about me!
since we're gonna be best friends!!

I'm Emma, but some of my friends also call me Emma Kate!

I'm from Florida but I currently live in Washington, DC. I like to catagorize myself as athletic, not sporty - meaning, I LOVE to hike, run, & workout, but you won't catch me playing basketball or hopping in any sort of sports game, unless its tennis haha. I'm a coffee drinker, enneagram 4, ENFJ and I'm passionately Catholic. I fell in love with the Lord in middle school and everything I do comes from Him!
