Your wedding day goes by in a blur, but the way it felt will stay with you forever. I’m here to preserve the big moments and the quiet ones you didn’t even realize were happening. The way your hands find each other. The laugh you only share with your partner. The in-between glances, the deep breaths, the joyful chaos. 


This chapter only happens once and it deserves to be remembered exactly as it felt. When you work with me, you'll walk away with senior photos that truly capture your personality, your style, and what makes you, you.

"She was so flexible before and the day of. She takes great pictures, edits them in a way to give them a real feel, and does so in a quick manner!"

"Can’t recommend Emalee enough!"

Spencer & Kyler

For the past two years, I’ve had the joy of documenting my clients in some of their most meaningful seasons. My focus is on capturing moments that feel real, personal, and deeply memorable. I'm here to photograph the beauty, emotion, and little in-between moments that make your story yours.

Hi friend, I’m Emalee! 

A Glimpse Into the Stories I've Captured


I’m drawn to the moments that speak softly but stay forever; the glance, the laughter, the stillness between words. Each image in this portfolio is a piece of someone’s story, full of feeling and meaning. Take a look, and you’ll find love, life, and the beauty of becoming; captured honestly, and held in light.
