kansas city missouri photographer

Hey there! I’m Emalee,

Whether it’s a wedding day full of emotion and celebration, or a senior session that celebrates a huge milestone, my goal is to make you feel comfortable and confident while documenting your story in a way that feels real and timeless.

With over two years of professional experience, I’ve been lucky to work with so many amazing couples and seniors—and I still get excited every time I pick up my camera. When I’m not capturing your special moments, you can find me spending time with the people I love or enjoying God’s creation through walks, bike rides, or traveling.

[a wedding and senior photographer based in Kansas City, MO, and I’m all about capturing the moments that matter most.]

Because it’s often the simplest moments that end up meaning the most. Whether tat be a quiet hug with a loved one, a shared laugh with a friend, or a stolen glance with the love of your life. Those are the memories that stick and the ones I love capturing the most. Getting to be even a small part of someone’s story is something I’ll never take for granted. 


There’s something so special about freezing a moment in time

Get in Touch

The best photos come from real moments and genuine emotions. I’m here to help you feel comfortable and true to yourself, so your photos reflect the beautiful, authentic story of you.

Authenticity

We’re capturing a special chapter in your unique story; photos you’ll one day share with your children and grandchildren. Each image will hold a piece of your love story, preserved to be remembered and celebrated for generations to come.

Preservation

Great photos come from feeling comfortable in front of the camera. When you work with me, I'll create a relaxed, welcoming space so you can be fully yourself and we can capture moments that feel as real as they are beautiful.

Connection

the heart behind my lens

[These are the values I live by, both in life and in business. I believe in leading with honesty, showing up with intention, and creating with heart]

Get in Touch

Photos that feel like you; real, joyful, and full of meaning.

It can be awkward to get in front of the camera.  That’s why I focus on creating a space where you feel relaxed and free to be yourself. I’ll gently guide you with natural prompts that bring out genuine moments, not forced poses. I’ll meet you right where you are, so we can capture photos that truly reflect your story, just the way it felt.
