Why Emma Disse Photography
Comfortable Direction that feels Natural

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 emotions. Whether it’s families, seniors, or portraits, my approach keeps things easy and engaging—especially for your young ones—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, light , 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.

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.

Family Photography near me
My Immediate Family sessions are for moms, dads, kids, and yes, the dogs too! These one-hour sessions take place at a single location and are centered on connection over perfection. My approach is simple: I let real life unfold and capture the love just as it is in every day life. We let the kids play, explore, and be themselves while I tag along quietly, documenting those fun in-between moments, where all of the real smiles live! This approach allows for everyone to enjoy the experience, yes even the dads ;)
Family Packages
Immediate Families
My Extended Family sessions are created for the whole crew — grandparents, grown kids, grandbabies, aunts, uncles, and everyone in between. These gatherings often bring multiple generations together, and there’s something incredibly meaningful about preserving that time together in one frame. We’ll make space for the classic “everyone looking” portraits, but also everyone's favorites like hugs with grandma, and laughing with grandpa. We'll stay organized and move efficiently, but also allow plenty of time to laugh, play & enjoy just being together.
Extended Families
All family portrait albums include full access to the digital albums with the ability to download, print and share.
