I’m Emma - an artist with a deep love for travel, design, and the stories that connect us. Photography came naturally to me, inspired by my dad who spent years documenting his travels through Europe and the Middle East. He taught me that photographs aren’t just images — they’re living pieces of connection that outlast us.
My work is shaped by everything I’ve always been drawn to: the elegance of fashion, the layers of history across the Mediterranean, and the quiet emotion of family moments.
It’s less about staging and more about preserving what’s real — the fleeting gestures, the energy of a room, the feeling you’ll want to remember decades from now.
Based in Ottawa and photographing weddings across Canada, the East Coast, and Europe, I approach each celebration with care and intention — capturing your story in a way that feels both timeless and true.
