Kind Words from Past Families

"Emily did such a nice job on our family photos! I was nervous about having a not quite 2 year old and a newborn but Emily was patient and got my 2 year old involved which she loved! I loved that we were able to capture photos in our own house! Made it that much more comfortable. Emily was attentive and patient and never made me feel rushed during the process! Would definitely recommend.”

— Morgan.
