Seniors
How beautiful to know, where one chapter ends, another one is just beginning
Senior photos are a way to pause and celebrate this season exactly as it is — full of growth, excitement, and possibility.
Together we capture who you are, not just what you look like, but your unique personality, interests and life as it is right now. Taken and crafted with a timeless editing style, your images will be something you’ll return to years from now, remembering not just how life looked, but how it felt to stand on the edge of what’s next.
Inquire
For my seniors who want to slow down and truly make a statement out of this chapter. With the most time together, we’re able to explore our locations, hang out as friends, and make room for your personality to shine naturally. I’m happy to help in any way I can — weather it's helping pick out the perfect locations, offer outfit inspo/suggestions, and always gently guiding you through poses so you never feel awkward or unsure. By the end your sesion will have felt effortless, personal, and maybe even fun :)
For my seniors looking for a quick and efficient, stress-free session while still receiving the highest quality photos and a professional experience. With 35 minutes at one thoughtfully chosen location, things will move right along while at the same time keeping the atmosphere relaxed and comfortable. I’ll provide gentle guidance throughout the session so you feel confident in front of the camera; a simple approach with intentional results.

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.
Step three is making things official. I’ll send over a contract and invoice for your review. Once those have been signed and submitted, your session is locked in. From there, everything is set in place and you can relax knowing your session is secured and thoughtfully planned.
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.
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.

We had a fantastic experience with Emma Disse Photography for our daughter's senior photos,
Emma was professional, easy to work with, and made Jasmyn feel completely comfortable
The photos turned out stunning --natural, creative, and full of our daughter's personality-- and we were so impressed with how quickly we received the final gallery! Highly recommend to anyone looking for senior portraits in the area!

My portfolio highlights family, senior, wedding and engagement sessions photographed throughout Detroit Lakes and the surrounding Minnesota area. Each gallery reflects my true-to-life editing style, intentional approach, and focus on genuine connection. Whether capturing playful family moments or quiet, meaningful milestones, my work is rooted in natural light, authentic emotion, and timeless imagery designed to last for generations.
Senior portraits with a relaxed, editorial approach that feel natural and true to you. You're wonderfully and beautifully made exactly how you are, let's show the world.
Rather than stiff posing or forced smiles, I focus on movement, lighting, and small moments in between — the way you laugh, the way you stand when you’re comfortable, the version of you that already feels confident. The result is imagery that feels timeless, personal, and honest.
