LEAD PHOTOGRAPHER

I’m a girl on a mission! After almost a decade of shooting I set out to create the YOUNG & FREE experience. A place to inspire, share the beauty and promote self-worth. Because you are beautiful. Let’s be Young & Free.

2019 INTERN

A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents.

I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment; and yet I feel that I never was a greater artist than now.

Hey! I'm Emily. A dream chaser, a go-getter!
 I couldn't have even imagined how amazing this journey would be when I started my own photography journey in my Senior Year of high school! And yet here we are, over a decade later, one of Raleigh, NC. favorite Senior Photographers and mom to FOUR of the sweetest little girls. How do I manage everything you might ask? I'm still not sure, but I do know I couldn't do this without my main man/tech wizard and also knows as husband by my side. I am so excited you are here and cannot wait to create amazing portraits and memories with you.
