I’m Em — storyteller behind the lens, lover of dreamy light, nature, and wildhearted love.

Based in Brooks, Alberta — capturing stories that feel like home.

Photography has been in my family for generations — passed down through prints and albums that became the heartbeat of our stories.

It wasn’t until I became a young adult that I truly understood how incredibly important it is to preserve life’s fleeting moments — whether perfectly planned or beautifully accidental.

Now, as a mom, time seems to move faster than ever. I blink, and everything changes. Weddings are the same — a joyful blur that rushes by in what feels like a heartbeat. One moment you’re getting ready, and the next, you’re married!!

That’s why it’s so vital to capture your wedding in a way that feels meaningful and true to you.

Later, when you hold your images close, the laughter, the faces, and the soft glances shared between loved ones will awaken the memories that matter most — giving you the chance to relive the joy all over again.

When we work together, it’s never just about getting dreamy photos.
It’s about slowing down and truly experiencing the sparkle of the season you’re in.
I’ll hype you up when you feel nervous, guide you when you’re unsure, keep everyone on track so nothing is missed, and deliver a gallery that lets you relive the best parts of your day again and again.

Because your story is worth telling — and remembering — for generations to come. ♥️

A Legacy of Storytelling

My Style & Approach

My style is natural, vibrant, and thoughtfully guided — blending direction with space for spontaneous magic. I use a hybrid approach to posing: gently leading you into movement, then stepping back to let your real connection shine.

During sessions, I guide you every step of the way — with laughter, encouragement, and prompts that turn posing into play. I’ll show you exactly what to do while helping you feel comfortable enough to just be yourselves.

My editing style is dreamy and romantic, staying true to the natural tones of the landscape while highlighting the color, emotion, and light that make your story one of a kind.

Feel most alive outdoors — whether it’s exploring a new trail, stargazing, or sipping coffee by the lake.
Are wildly in love (and maybe a little goofy about it).
Value family, connection, and those heart-squeezing moments that matter most.
Want images that are guided but effortless — fun, meaningful, and true to you.
Believe that laughter, curiosity, and adventure are essential ingredients to any great story.
Want your photographer to feel like a friend who’s as excited about your day as you are!!
