Family Photography in Portland Oregon

There's no such thing as timeless.

Everything has a timestamp: our fashion choices, the food we cook, our home decor, and yes, photography.  

The only choice is to look back and see if our images are time-stamped with authenticity and what our family was actually like back then, or something more fake and fabricated.  

I'm a Portland Family In-Home Photographer, here to give you keepsake photos that resonate with your soul on a deeper level. Images that you'll look back on and remember this busy, messy, beautiful stage in an authentic way. Your real family in the ordinary, yet sweetest and meaningful of moments.

Photographer

Hey there,
I'm Emilie. 


Hi there, I'm Emilie, your Portland Oregon in-home family and newborn photographer! When I'm not photographing or editing away, you can find me homeschooling, collecting antiques, gardening, or out exploring local hiking trails! 

I believe in creating art for families that reflects their everyday life in the sweetest of ways. I am on a mission to give moms the kinds of photos I want and cherish of my own babies. And sorry-not-sorry, but let's pass on the "let's all stand here in this freezing cold river and smile awkwardly" photos!

"Emilie, we’ve had lots of professional photos taken over the years. I have a terrible memory and photos are important to me. You know exactly how to create warmth and safety; you see what makes each of us shine and you capture that moment. It’s a special gift and you have it. I am SO grateful for you"

"Emilie has been our trusted family photographer for over four years now! Our family ranges from feral to intensely shy and somehow she captures the sweet and smiling moments in the chaos. She makes me feel so comfortable and when she gets here I know my job is done and she's got it handled. She as kind as she is talented and I couldn't be more grateful for her." -McCool Family, Portland

"She always captures the full essence of who we are. I don't have enough wall space for my favorites!"

I never require purchase of artwork as part of your session. That's way too salesy for me. But as your Portland Family Photographer, I want so much more for you than to let your photos collect virtual dust indefinitely.





Knowing what your goals are for your images helps me get exactly what you want. Whether an album, matted print box, framed artwork, or something completely custom, I will help you every step of the way. 



An important part of the EPP Experience is understanding what your goals are for the photos. Let's get your photos off the screen to where you can enjoy them with your family everyday.



I can't wait to hear more about your family and how you plan to use your updated photos. Send me an email and let's start chatting today!


So, are you ready to have this experience for your family?
