It Is Brave To Love
It is brave to love. It is brave to open your heart wide and love with all that you; with all of yourself. It is brave to completely unplug from all the things that try to grab at our attention and to be one hundred percent present. It is brave to hug on purpose and to throw so much intention into your syllables that…
When I Think Of You
When I think of you, I am filled with joy. It is that kind of joy that starts in the heart and floods my cheeks. It is the joy of the anticipation of knowing you, loving you and holding you in my arms. You have an entire life yet to live and the hope and mystery of who you’ll be and what you’ll do is…
Lessons Children Teach Us
Some of the most inspiring people I’ve ever met have been children. And we all know that life with children is not everyday sunshine and roses, but there is almost like this raw cry from heaven that comes to us from their lives that tugs on our hearts, changing us, getting us to think and to dream just a bit…
Let's Never Stop Hugging
The kind where we wrap them up so tightly in our arms, fully present and fully here, it as if our hearts are dancing with one another. Where we whisper in our ears that we love them with our everything. Where we giggle with them and let them know the joy that happens when we are fully embraced…
It's Written On Their Faces
There is something so honest about capturing babies. It is like every single thing that they are feeling and thinking is written upon their little faces. They haven’t learned to hide or stuff those things down or pick up a mask to cover themselves and appear how they think people want them to be…
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.
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...
