Whether it’s families, seniors, or portraits, my approach keeps things easy and engaging—especially for kids—so your images feel true to life, not forced.
Your final images are carefully edited with a true-to-life style that stands the test of time. I focus on natural color, honest emotion, and consistency across your gallery. The result is a collection of images that feel intentional, meaningful, and just as beautiful years from now as they are today.

My Story
Detroit Lakes photographer focused on connection & ease
Emma- founder and sole photographer
I believe photography should never feel rushed, awkward, or stressful. From the moment you reach out, my goal is to guide you through a seamless, supportive process that allows you to simply show up and be yourself. As a Detroit Lakes photographer, I take the time to understand your vision and what matters most to you, so your images reflect real connection, genuine emotion, and timeless beauty.
I was born & raised in Detroit Lakes, graduated college from North Dakota State University in 2021 & now find myself building a life I LOVE back in my hometown with my husband Sam.
I was raised on the lake & a Bison Ranch so the outdoors is where my heart is happiest! When I'm not behind the lens you can find me coaching DLHS' gymnastics team, playing pickleball, or doing just about anything out in God's creation :)
An experience designed entirely around you
As your wedding photographer I value intention, authenticity, and presence. I believe wedding days are meant to be grounding—not rushed and overwhelming.
The most magical photos come from the moments that are lived, not staged. By creating a relaxed, supportive experience, I allow you to slow down and embrace your day as it unfolds—capturing it honestly, beautifully, and just as it was; full of love.
