We had a great shooting with Emma, amazing spot and beautiful, warm pictures. We love it!

Emma was a pleasure to work with! She was quick to respond when I reached out a couple weeks prior to my family's trip to Maui and we decided on a beautiful and convenient location for our shoot. On the day of she was on time and ready to go! We brought our two young kids and she was so good at making them comfortable just being themselves so she could capture some lovely shots. We also encountered some extremely strong wind but she just went with it and found the right locations and shots to take. Most importantly, the pictures she captured of our family are so beautiful and fully encapsulate the personalities of our kids. She really puts her all into her work and it really shows. Would definitely work with her again in the future whenever we return to Maui! read more

Emma takes great care and thought into the photos she captures. She's knowledgeable about beaches all over Maui, makes it fun and comfortable for the kids when shooting, and is easy to communicate with too! She took our photoshoot to the next level by coming up with a "Christmas by the Beach" concept and recommended a beach location that had a stunning backdrop of the ocean and was easy to access. She provided styling tips like the family pajama print to use for the shoot and even procured a beautifully decorated Christmas tree prop to set the scene. The Christmas tree in particular caught the attention of many folks passing by and they were in awe and absolutely delighted to be able to take a picture with it as well. Overall, our session went very smoothly and we couldn't recommend Emma enough for your photography needs. In the past, most photographers I've worked with for family photoshoots around Hawaii will outsource the actual shoot to their team of photographers and then the owner will work on editing the shots themselves. With Emma, you can rest assured knowing that she's going to take care of your photography needs from start to finish and prepare you as best she can for a smooth experience. She's the real deal! read more

We were so fortunate to find Emma in advance to our trip to Maui. From her quick responsiveness, detailed plans, kind disposition, and, of course, photo skillset we left feeling so impressed. Prior to the start time of our shoot, the weather predictions on Maui kept changing (totally normal). Emma was in touch and made sure we had a good plan even if it was raining at our first location choice. Our three-year-old had some meltdowns during the shoot but Emma remained patient. Before we knew it our daughter warmed up to Emma and her camera -- and the photos prove it. She recommended a beautiful spot and captured so many great moments. She didn't rush anything, had a thoughtfulness about her, and executed a solid plan of attack. We would recommend Emma again in a heartbeat. Thanks again, Emma! We can't wait for you to capture us the next time! ETA: just realized my profile picture is also one from our shoot with Emma. So so cute read more

Working with Emma when we both lived in San Francisco was one of the most memorable mornings I've had! She approached me about doing an outdoor sunrise boudoir shoot, and I was very nervous to put myself (literally) out there while wearing so little with someone I'd technically hadn't met yet. But Emma made the shoot so easy; she found a beautiful location that wouldn't be too populated given the sunrise hour, gave me the clear directions on where to meet, and even provided me with a beautiful kimono to wear over my lingerie so that I would be more comfortable when taking the photos! Honestly, it felt like I had known her for years because she made me feel so comfortable. She gave amazing direction (when to turn, where to look, etc) and eased me into the "boudoir" photos over the course of our session. I'm so happy with how the photos turned out; they are still my favorite to this day! If you book with Emma, you will not be disappointed. She's such a lovely soul with talent to match. I will definitely be booking another photo session with her when I go to Maui next! read more

We were recently lucky to have gotten to work with Emma for our extended family photos that included 4 adults, 3 toddlers, and an infant on our vacation to Maui. I honestly was hopeful we would be able to get even a few good photos because we all know toddlers and infants are wild cards. I was not sure they would even smile for the pictures, but Emma was great with them and made it super fun for everyone! She had them smiling and laughing from the get go! Emma was also super responsive from the moment I reached out to her to book our session, which I appreciated and was able to offer many recommendations on where to take photos. Last but not least, we are very happy with the end product with the photos she sent and will cherish the photos and memories forever! read more

I was hesitant to do a maternity session because I wasn't confident in how I looked while pregnant, but when I found Emma, I knew I'd found the right photographer. Not only did Emma help select the perfect location, outfit, and give general advice, but she made me feel extremely comfortable during the shoot. She has a calm and warm demeanor that makes you feel comfortable in your own skin. Emma also pays strict attention to detail. For each shot, Emma made sure my necklace was in exactly the right spot. No detail was neglected. Most importantly, the maternity photos I have from Emma are some of my favorite photos ever taken of me. I'll cherish them forever. She gave me way more beautiful photos than I expected, and I love the fine film style. I was so inspired by the shoot with Emma that I bought my own film and camera after our session in hopes I could take film photos of my son (I've yet to do it... further showing why it's worth it to get professional photos done). If you're considering working with Emma, don't hesitate! She is extremely easy to work with and I recommend her 100%. The next time we do family portraits we'll hire Emma!!! read more

What can I say? If you enjoy working with unresponsive and unorganized photographers, Emma is not the person for you. Emma was quite the opposite. Aside from the amazing photos and quick turnaround, she was quick to respond, organized, punctual, and really easy to work with. We never had a photoshoot done before and she made us feel extremely comfortable and leaned into our goofy humor. Highly recommend Emma! In fact, if we somehow wind up on Maui again in the near future we'll definitely be hiring her again. 10/10! Thanks, Emma! read more

Now, I've never done pictures of myself with a swimsuit on - especially not wearing a bikini. But, this shoot with Emma felt a little different. In fact, I felt a little different. I met Emma around 7 a.m. on Saturday with the sun just about to rise and decided to just say, "fuck it." I said screw the insecurity and stress on whether I looked "weird" or "lumpy." Rather, I embraced the unfamiliar (and the cold!) and shot for an hour or two and connected with Emma and the ocean. It was the perfect way to start a Saturday. I highly recommend Emma. Her spirit and energy is unmatched. I can't wait for the time I go to Maui so we can shoot again! read more

A Maui local photographer you can trust for quality, professional photos! We worked with Emma when visiting from California in July '22. As newlyweds, we knew we wanted professional couple photos but didn't know the area because it was our first time visiting. Emma was aware of this and recommended multiple, beautiful locations on the island. She provided us with photos of the locations and previous shoots done to give us a clear idea of what we can expect. This was super helpful because it can be difficult to make the correct decision without actually seeing the location in person! A few other things we liked about working with Emma was that she was reliable, punctual, and trustworthy. Working with a photographer we could trust was a big deal to us... we wanted to make sure we had the peace of mind everything would go as planned! Thanks again Emma, your vision for our photos really came to life, and we can't wait to hang them up in our home! read more

Emma was such a delight to work with. I wasn't sure where to take our Christmas photos and she recommended to choose a place that my 3 year old son loved and was comfortable to be in. Without hesitation, I chose a nearby forest that we often go to. It was such a great idea as it really pulled out his playful side and we got so many natural photos in his element. She even brought berries for him to snack on which was so thoughtful. We loved so many photos, we chose many of them for our Holiday card. I highly recommend her! read more

Hands down the most fun family photography session we've had! Emma set us up with a great wardrobe- matching bathing suits for my daughter and I , a great beach hat and cover up for me, and also recommended just the right colours and outfit for my husband and son. She came prepared with a giant sand castle building set which got my children busy right away and provided for some fantastic candid shots. The location that she picked that day couldn't have been better- picturesque and not many people around. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Emma, she made it effortless with the kids ( which was huge because usually they start to lose interest after a while, and we have to coax them into a few more shots). With her artistic flair in themed shots, I would not hesitate to work with her again. read more

Met Emma thru my biz contacts when I wanted professional pictures for my website and boy, that was one lucky find! I'm a barber/stylist whose hair has gone the gamut of changes but I still kept the orig profile picture Emma took 8+ years ago on my website That's how much I love that picture bc all the elements of feminine, minimalist, sexy cool, professional were all captured so well at the Disney Concert Hall location that Emma picked. Emma is extremely organized and thorough. She researched poses that she had me do since I'm actually not very natural in front of the camera. She'll draw out your joy and personality during shoot asking you quick personal questions about the last funny thing your child did that would make your face light up when you answe The resulting pic was the warmest smile that would come across your face (nuther fave pic from series). I have fond memories working with Emma on two separate occasions where she used her cam like it was an AR rifle when we running out of that precious golden hour. We laughed so hard during shoot. Thank you, Emma, for being such a gifted and organized pro who made this barberess look oh so pro. I warmly recommend Emma's deft touch for your business, special events photography needs. So hopefully Emma, mb our next series will be elopment wedding photos!! read more
