HELLO, FRIENDS

I'm Emily

I’m a professional newborn and family photographer, highly trained in the art of posed newborn portraiture and creating breathtaking, meaningful images for growing families.

Based in Albany County, NY, I serve families throughout the Capital Region, Greene County, and surrounding areas from my fully equipped, high-end studio — designed to provide a calm, stress-free experience from beginning to end.

Sessions are thoughtfully guided and efficient without ever feeling rushed. You won’t wait weeks for your gallery, and yes — even dads usually leave saying it wasn’t nearly as bad as they expected.

What I do is more than a business. It’s my life’s work.
Creating authentic moments, preserving real connection, and giving families images that feel like home long after these days have passed.

MATERNITY

Being pregnant truly is a blessing and magical. Let’s capture this special time before your baby arrives. Sessions are relaxed, personal, and tailored to your vision — whether in my Albany County studio or outdoors in a location that feels meaningful to you. These sessions highlight the love and connection you already share and create timeless images you’ll treasure forever.

MILESTONE

Milestone sessions are perfect for capturing your baby’s personality as it begins to shine — from tummy time and first smiles to sitting and standing. These sessions are simple, relaxed, and designed to grow with your family throughout the first year.

FAMILY

Family sessions focus on genuine connection — the in-between moments, the laughter, and the love that makes your family uniquely yours. Whether welcoming a new baby or updating family portraits, these sessions are relaxed, intentional, and beautifully timeless.

READY TO CONNECT?


Your baby’s first days are fleeting — the tiny fingers, sleepy stretches, and peaceful snuggles pass in the blink of an eye. Newborn sessions are best scheduled between 7 and 14 days to capture these delicate moments at their sweetest.

My Albany County studio has limited availability, ensuring each session receives the care, attention, and time it deserves. Don’t wait to preserve these memories — spots fill quickly, especially during peak newborn seasons.

I would be absolutely thrilled to connect with you and chat about your session, and what images would mean the most to you. Whether you have questions about sessions, need help choosing the perfect package or wall art, or just want to talk through the process, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

I make it a priority to respond to all inquiries within 48 hours. If you don’t see a reply from me in your inbox, be sure to check your junk or spam folder — sometimes emails get lost along the way.
