Hi, I’m Emily — but you can absolutely call me Em.
I’m an Albany NY newborn photographer with over 14 years of professional photography experience, and I specialize in capturing the tiniest moments that pass far too quickly. What started as a childhood love for photography has grown into a deeply meaningful career centered around families, connection, and preserving memories that deserve to last.
I’m based in Upstate New York, proudly serving Albany, NY and the Capital Region, with additional availability throughout the Hudson Valley and Catskills.
After graduating from the Hallmark Institute of Photography in 2010, I originally planned to move to the city and work with advertising agencies. But it didn’t take long to realize that city life wasn’t for this country girl. Instead, I found myself drawn to something far more meaningful — working closely with families and their children.
That shift changed everything.
Newborn photography is where my heart truly lives.
I specialize in safe, posed newborn photography, working with babies during those first fleeting days when they are tiniest and most curled. Your baby’s comfort and safety are always my top priority, and every session is approached with patience, experience, and professional care.
With extensive hands-on experience and continued education, I ensure each pose is done gently and securely — creating beautiful images while giving parents complete peace of mind.
From start to finish, my goal is to make your experience feel calm, supported, and stress-free.
I guide you through every step — from booking and preparation to session day itself — so you never have to wonder what comes next. Sessions are slow, baby-led, and designed around your newborn’s needs, allowing you to relax and simply enjoy the moment.
This is more than just a photo session — it’s a chance to slow time down.
In addition to newborn photography, I also photograph families, focusing on real connection, personality, and emotion. I love capturing the quiet in-between moments — the ones that tell your story just as much as the big milestones.
Photography isn’t just my job; it’s a passion I’ve carried with me since childhood. I believe the smallest moments often become the most meaningful ones, and those are the memories worth preserving.
I proudly serve families throughout Albany, NY and the Capital Region, offering newborn photography, maternity sessions, and family portraits for those who want images that feel timeless, emotional, and true.
I’d love to learn more about you and your family.
