These Are The Moments Worth Capturing
Sometimes we focus on the big events and milestones, but the moments truly worth capturing are found in the day-to-day, the messy, the mundane and the simple. They are found in the way that a Mom looks at her baby just so and the way that giggle spreads just across his little cheeks and the look of…
Ready To Capture This Sensational, Wonderful Life
Hi, I’m Emily! I love photography and everything about it. I find it so fascinating that it’s one of the only mediums of art that allows a memory to be frozen in time, even just for a second. With that being written, my life is made whole when I’m capturing moments that last a lifetime; and the bonus is the…
Are You Fully Alive Yet?
There is this goodness that fills our souls when we are with our children. It is like this fresh breath from heaven that fills our lungs where we come alive in the purity, in the life, in the joy that these little lives carry…
5 Promises Every Parent Should Make To Their Child
When clients come to me for photo sessions, I always encourage them to talk to each other during the shoot. As a result of going a little deeper, you’re left with images that are even more meaningful. They’re about more than what you look like, more than shadow and light, more than a gorgeous…
7 Ways To Speak Life
We are given a million messages a day. They are written throughout our faces, our phones, the television shows we watch and the way that we interact with one another. In all that noise, we have a unique opportunity speak into one another; to pick words, values, truth, hope and honour into each other’s…
Let Go of Perfection And Do This
So often we find ourselves chasing after perfection. We want to have the best of everything and to be the flawless one. We are surrounded by to-do lists and magazine headlines telling us what we need to do to be perfect.
I Pray That You'll Never Lose Your Wonder
Stay curious. No matter what the world throws at you. Resist that feeling that starts on the inside of your soul sometimes. the one that tells you to hide or to cower or to stay under the covers instead of facing this life. Rather, keep your sense of awe. Guard it like it is treasure because that is exactly what it is…
Perfectly Made, Perfectly Loved, Perfectly Known
Baby girl, every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top. Sometimes in my mind, I imagine God creating you. I imagine the love that blew out of His heart in every single step. That when He stepped down to breathe life into your lungs, He did it with a lump in His throat because of how much He was in...
Did You Know That You Are Wanted?
You are wanted. In every pore of your skin, every hair on your head, every movement of your body, you are wanted. In every turn of your heart, every grin on your face, every tear that hits your cheek, you are wanted. In the waiting, in the arrival, in the long nights, in the new discoveries, you are wanted. You are...
How Do You Define Home?
Home means something different to each one of us. Maybe it brings up memories of fits of laughter and freshly baked cookies and movie nights. Maybe it is this feeling that you get it the centre of your soul where you can let go and be yourself. Maybe it is the space and the people that have shown up on your...
What Treasures Will You Leave?
Sometimes I imagine that when a baby arrives it is like a collision of heaven and earth. Almost as if a dream's been made real; wrapped in human flesh with a living heartbeat inside its cages. I even like to imagine that with every child comes a message. A message that we must hear, something we need to...
The Pictures We Take Tell A Story
If we sat down to scroll through our phones or our cameras and the images that sit on those devices or we wandered our way through old photo albums and frames, we’d find a story. We would find a story of what matters to us and what we value, who we care about and who we are. We would find, caught in...
