  • Woman hugging two children indoors with white curtains and floral decorations in the background.

    "Absolutely satisfied! In 15 min Emma was able to get a ton of photos from posed to candid and then some. One of my toddlers were not cooperating very well and I was worried I wouldn't get too many good pics. She made him comfortable and worked around the chaos to produce great shots, more than I imagined. Even before the shoot she remembered their names and used that to her advantage to get their attention. It was so comfortable and enjoyable I am going to book again!!"
