Engagement sessions are meant to feel less like a photoshoot and more like an easy afternoon spent with a new friend.
I’m laid-back by nature, but intentional in how I work—creating space for you to be yourselves while gently guiding things when it helps. I love getting to know my couples, hearing how you met, what makes you laugh, and the small details that feel most you. We’ll walk, talk, hang out, and let things unfold naturally, capturing images that feel honest, comfortable, and true to your connection—nothing forced, nothing rushed.

We had a wonderful experience taking our engagement pictures with Emma!
From the time that we first reached out to picture delivery she was so great to work with!
It was clear she wanted to make the session a great experience and deliver us a beautiful project. She was great to communicate with, she took our vision and our suggestions seriously, and she made the whole process stress free and fun!!

Engagement Pictures MN That Feel Natural and Unforced
My approach to engagement photos is simple: keep things comfortable, genuine, and unforced. I’m easygoing and present, but always intentional—offering subtle direction when needed and letting real moments lead the way.
Northern MN Engagement Photographer for Scenic Outdoor Sessions
Our outdoor sessions are all about slowing down and enjoying the space around you. We’ll take things at an easy pace—walking, talking, laughing, and soaking in the scenery—while I quietly guide things as needed. There’s no pressure to perform or pose perfectly, just room to breathe, move, and enjoy being together in a setting that feels open, natural, and effortless.

The first step is simply submitting the inquiry form. This gives me a chance to learn more about you, what you’re envisioning, and the type of session you’re looking for. From there, we’ll connect and begin shaping the details together in a way that feels intentional, easy, and aligned with your vision.

Step two is where we refine the details of your session. We’ll work together to choose the location, timing, and overall approach, making sure everything feels natural and well thought out. I’ll also be here to help with outfit ideas, styling questions, and any other guidance you may need so you can feel confident and prepared going into your session.
The details
Step three is making things official. I’ll send over a contract and invoice for your review, and once those are signed and the down payment is submitted, your date is fully reserved. From there, everything is set in place and you can relax knowing your session is secured and thoughtfully planned.
contract & Deposit submission
It's the day of your session—where everything comes together with ease. Because we’ve planned and organized the details ahead of time, the experience feels relaxed, natural, and unhurried. There’s no pressure to perform or pose perfectly—just space to be present, move comfortably, and enjoy the moment while I gently guide things as needed and capture your vision as it naturally unfolds.
The fun begins!
Within approximately one month of your session date (unless communicated otherwise), you’ll receive your digital album via the same email that your contract and invoice was sent to. That email will contain the link to your finished online gallery. From there, you’ll be able to view, download, and relive your images—each one edited with care to reflect the natural light, true-to-life tones, and genuine moments from your session.
