A Story to Tell…Yours

Some days only happen once, the engagement, the milestone anniversary, prom, the graduation, the vow renewal. I’ll be there to capture the real moments, the laughs, the hugs, the details, and the people who matter, without stiff, posed lineups.

I take a candid, photojournalistic approach to document the mood, story, and excitement as your event unfolds. Where appropriate, I capture some formal group photos to make sure no one has been missed and everyone looks their best. And depending on the event, I create some stylized shots that become a piece of art you’ll want to frame and display.

I work with families all over Northborough, Southborough, Shrewsbury, Marlborough, and surrounding towns in MetroWest and Central Massachusetts.

Step 2

Celebrate

Relaxed, guided, and fun.

I photograph your event while you enjoy it. I use artificial light indoors and outdoors to make sure faces are lit beautifully.

“Emma is very easy to work with.”

My family was fortunate to have Emma as our photographer for our 10 year wedding vow renewal celebration. Emma is very easy to work with and made sure we were all very comfortable – resulting in fantastic photos. Emma easily adapted from outside photos to indoor ceremony photos without missing a beat. We highly recommend Emma as the photographer for your next special occasion or event.

“Memories for a lifetime.”

Emma photographed our engagement day with such skill, professionalism, and style! We are over the moon happy with how the photos turned out and especially thrilled with the way in which she captured candid moments! She gave us great tips throughout the photoshoot, and knew exactly when to capture a shot so our most natural selves were on camera. It was a windy and cold day, but she kept our spirits up and used the weather to our advantage to capture beautiful shots, hair flying in the breeze and all! Most of all, we were so pleased with her thoughtful and genuine personality, and her willingness to be in close communication with us both during and after the photoshoot to make sure we were happy. Thank you Emma for photographing our special day, and giving us memories for a lifetime!

What counts as an event or milestone session?

Anything worth documenting outside of a standard family or senior session — an engagement, a milestone birthday, a graduation, an anniversary, a family celebration, cultural festivities, and more! I’ve had the pleasure of photographing several traditional South Asian ceremonies, such as Raksha Bandhan that celebrates the loving bond between siblings, the joyful pre-wedding ritual of Haldi, and the high energy, pre-wedding Garba dance. If you are not sure whether your event fits, just reach out and ask.
