capturing the tender moments of motherhood + family

Welcome to the heart of motherhood where I think we can all agree that darn cliche is spot on “the days are long and the years are short.” before we know it the excitement waiting to meet them, their tiny toes and that newborn smell and their pudgy hands holding on to you while they negotiate to postpone bedtime are a fading memory. I’m Brittney Emerson, a lifestyle photographer who believes in every day magic, those fleeting, tender moments with your little ones, deserve to be cherished forever. Whether you’re welcoming a newborn, celebrating your growing family or simply wanting to preserve the beauty of your motherhood journey, my photography sessions are designed to feel authentic and deeply personal capture the heart of who your family is right now.

Why choose me as your photographer?

Sessions take place where your family feels safest and most comfortable- your home or a meaningful outdoor location.

I understand that kids need to be kids – no stressful posing, just authentic moments captured as they happen.

I work with your routine, because I know how precious your time is with little ones.

From the moment we connect I’m here to guide you gently and make the process joyful and stress free.

What to Expect

Your session is more than just pictures, it’s an experience. We’ll chat beforehand about what matters most to you and your family. On the day, I’ll blend into your natural rhythm, capturing the laughter, snuggles and everything in between. Afterward, you’ll receive a beautiful gallery of carefully edited images to treasure forever.
