Photos That Feel Like YOu

You already know another professional headshot isn’t enough. For founders ready to take up space, I go deeper, more human, more artistic. Until your photos actually feel like you.

My sessions start with you.

Who you are, the business you’ve created, the plans and dreams you have. I take all of that and translate it into a creative direction and session guide for you to look over before we ever take a single photo.

So by the time your session day rolls around, all you have to do is be yourself, ready to let me guide you as we create photos that feel true to who you really are.

Hi! I’m Emily.

I’m a brand photographer, artist, and a Californian who somehow ended up in Toronto with her husband, 3 boys, and a cat named Tuna.

I’ve spent 15 years learning how to see the magic in people and translate that into photos they’re proud to show the world. There’s a version of you that hasn’t been photographed yet.

For Founders who…

Cringe whenever they have to post

Have outgrown their brand or pivoted their business

Are dreaming BIG, starting the podcast/the book/the speech.

Are ready to take up space as the expert they are

Want photos that finally feel like them

LIKE A CROISSANT

The best brand photos are like a croissant, lots of delicious layers. Your personality, your process, what it feels like to work with you. All of it blended together into one compelling library of images.

But if your words and photos are saying two different things, you lose people. They might not know why they feel hesitant, but they do.

You want your photos to be that buttery croissant, not a flat, confusing pancake.

“I had a clear vision for my brand, but I didn’t know how to bring it to life in photos.

Emily was incredibly helpful during the planning process—from outfit ideas to the perfect shot list, she made it all feel easy.

During the shoot, her warmth and energy put me instantly at ease, and for someone who’s usually camera-shy, that was huge. I felt confident, relaxed, and like myself.

And the photos? Absolutely stunning—beyond anything I hoped for.”

“Before working with Emily, I was relying on stock photos because I didn’t have brand images that actually reflected me. But from the moment we started, she made the process feel so thoughtful and intentional.

She knew exactly how to direct me without it ever feeling stiff—and it shows in the photos. They’re not just beautiful, they actually feel like me.

The best part? These photos inspire me to create. Now I want to show up, because I finally have visuals I’m proud to share.”

I handle the creative direction, start to finish. Together we’ll map out locations, outfits, props, and how you want your brand to feel. You don’t have to stress about planning your own session because that’s my job.

Questions

FAQs

Every since becoming a professional photographer, sooo many people tell me ‘I’m not photogenic! I look so awkward in photos.’ And I always say ‘Perfect!’. Weird response right? But when someone doesn’t have a practiced model pose, it’s much easier for me to help them relax. Once you feel safe with me and my camera, then I can take photos that show you as your best self. Your genuine happiness and confidence will shine through.

So while I’m not a marketing expert, I do work through a lot of questions with you to help YOU find the answers to what your business is all about. I have a questionnaire that I’ll send over after you book to help get you thinking, and I’m happy to hop on a call and go over it with you until you feel confident with your core messaging. And you know what? It will shift and change as you and your business grows so you don’t have to know everything perfectly right now. You just need to start.

Most of my clients book 4 to 6 weeks in advance so they have plenty of time to plan, choose outfits, and get their nails done.

This is going to vary a lot from person to person and depending on the type of image you want to portray. What an accountant would wear for brand photos is probably going to be very different from what a fine art painter would wear because the message they want to tell their ideal client is different. So I will help you with choosing outfits that not only fit your business’s image but also look great on camera.

You’re in the right place! When you’re just starting out is one of the BEST times to get photos taken as they can do a fantastic job communicating what you and your business are all about. You have a website to build, a social media presence to grow, and you want to come across as a professional every time a potential client sees you. One of the best ways to do this is with consistent professional photos, brand colors, and fonts.

This will depend on the length of your session and your needs, but for the Brand Library Session you’ll receive 60+ images (Though I usually deliver between 70 and 100). You can see more details about each package I offer here and decide which is the best fit for your business.

Let’s create photos that make people stop scrolling and start booking.

It’s time to show just how good your work really is.
