Portraiture that resonates with your audience.
Each year I take on a select number of portrait commissions. Making a portrait is about showing you at your best and helping you connect with those you want to reach.
It is about being authentic and intentional.
By making a genuine connection and deep diving into what you want your images to say about you, together we can create some images that feel soulful and truthful. By fostering an environment that helps you feel at ease we can make magic and celebrate you.
If you feel comfortable and relaxed you'll look great.
Being in front of the lens feels vulnerable.
So I capture portraits with soul, honesty and tenderness. I will offer you a space to fully unfurl. Or at least release to the soft inner core of yourself. I'm interested in the edges, the peripherals and finding the quiet stories that exist in the corners the heart. I work with artists, makers, creatives, energy workers and people connected to their passions. I'm especially interested in folk carving out a life aligned with nature and making a difference. A freckle represents a perfect imperfection. We are all perfectly imperfect. I seek out what makes you perfectly imperfectly you.
Working with Emma is simply wonderful —
People ALWAYS comment on my photos
and ask how my photographer manages to capture such incredible mood and light!! My photos look so great on my website, my socials… everywhere.

KIND WORDS
“I have never had a photograph taken that feels more like me than this one. The images seem natural and easy.”
I had a wonderful morning with Emma and the photographs have been used widely in the press. I felt relaxed and settled down to enjoy the session. — Victoria Vyvyan.
“Emma you are pure magic! I’m not sure how you do it but you captured the essence of me.”
You recorded my yoga business with your beautiful energy, photography skills and natural way of gently encouraging me to open up and relax in front of the lens. You are a true professional, you made me feel so comfortable, so at ease and enjoy being photographed doing what I love. — Claire Bowring.
