a little about me...

Meet Emily

Hi, I'm Emily! I'm a landscape & portrait photographer from Nebraska. I love to hike, paint, laugh, cook, bike, walk, and write in my free time.

My college professor, Michael Forsberg, described photography in this simple definition: capturing light with a box. He's right–you can't take a photo without light. Photography isn't so much a matter of capturing the subject as it is capturing the right light on the subject.

I capture moments like they happen.
I capture what is true. I capture light.

"DUDE YOU KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK! Is it awkward to tell you I love you? For your talent, your sweet personality, your love of family–all the things–you are just a genuinely good human!"

Halle

"I am usually the person that absolutely hates taking photos, especially when I’m the only one in them. Emily made me feel SO confident and I had a blast! She was so willing to try any idea that I had and was super quick in getting the photos ready! She has a special gift for capturing people's personalities!"

Laura

"I would recommend Emily 1000 times. She's flexible in adapting to the style I am looking for and will always go the extra mile to exceed expectations. She always makes me feel totally at ease and confident.

I highly recommend her to any business owner as she shares the same entrepreneurial spirit we do. I love her work but I especially love her heart."
