I have done 3 mini sessions with Emily Ann and have been so happy with the results. She is warm and welcoming and takes wonderful photos in her little glass studio — I will treasure the ones of my son forever.

We had such a great experience with Emily for our family photos! She came to our home and somehow managed to capture beautiful photos of our baby and our two dogs, who were definitely not interested in cooperating or being staged. 😂 Emily gave great direction, was incredibly patient, and took the time to get each shot just right. She also came prepared with props and little tricks to keep both the baby and dogs engaged. The whole session felt comfortable, relaxed, and fun, and the photos turned out beautifully. We couldn’t be happier with how they captured our family!
