About
Emily
Owner, Primary Photographer
The first thing you need to know is how important your experience is to me. My goal has always been to give clients so much more than the typical “portrait studio” visit. I believe in creating a truly personal and enjoyable experience. I aim to provide a complete service, from planning the shoot to styling to delivering perfectly retouched final images.
Your shoot will be enjoyable and stress free as we create a unique experience for you from start to finish.
Having lived in Boston for 15 years, the historic South End is home to me, my husband, our two toddlers, and our rescue pup, Lita. Cooking and tasting food is my ideal therapy session and we spend way too much time at our favorite neighborhood restaurants, Coppa and Picco. I think Succession and Ted Lasso is some of the best current tv writing, but also trashy reality tv is my go-to to unwind. In the luckiest moments of my life, I am traveling some place far away and new to me. I don't discriminate between coffee and matcha, I love them both, and if my tea cabinet grows any bigger, I'm going to need a new kitchen.
Mikayla
Photo Assistant
As I’m going into my second year in Boston and assisting with the studio, every on-location shoot is an opportunity to explore somewhere new in and around my city. I am here to be an extra set of hands in whatever your photos require, from lighting and props, capturing the best behind the scenes moments, to providing a perfect photoshoot playlist. When I’m not working you can usually find me listening to Taylor Swift, salsa dancing, or watching a cheesy 80’s film.
Lita
professional model, studio dog
I was rescued from the streets of Mississippi by some really cool humans and then adopted by my two best friends. My favorite things are snow, anything edible, and snuggling. I also love helping with the photoshoots we do with my puppy friends at Sweet Paws Rescue. I will model for treats, but only the good ones.
We love what we do!…
