What my clients can expect
Why Emma Disse Photography
Comfortable Direction that feels Natural
Galleries that feel timeless
You never have to worry about what to do in front of the camera. I provide gentle, natural direction designed to bring out authentic expressions and connection. 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.
Personalized & stress Free
Every session begins with intentional planning. We work together to choose locations, outfits, timing, and details that align with your vision. You’ll receive guidance every step of the way, so nothing feels overwhelming. My process is built to remove pressure, allowing your session to feel relaxed, organized and most importantly enjoyable for everyone.

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.
Submit Inquiry Form
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.

Working with me is meant to feel easy, thoughtful, and unrushed from start to finish. It begins with your inquiry, followed by a collaborative planning process where we choose the right location, timing, and nail down the fine details that will make your session truly "yours". I offer any needed guidance along the way on outfits, styling, and any other questions that may come up. Once we've set the details I’ll send over a contract and invoice to officially reserve your date. When the day arrives, the focus shifts to being present, relaxed, and enjoying the experience—allowing us to capture your vision naturally and authentically as it unfolds.
