For the woman becoming a mother and returning to herself after.

Becoming a mother changes everything, your body, your heart, the way you see yourself. Whether you're carrying new life or finding your way back to yourself after, the woman you are deserves to be witnessed through all of it. My work is about bringing her into focus. I photograph you as you truly are, mother and woman both, in images real enough that you'll feel like yourself again looking at them.

MORE ABOUT ME

I grew up believing being an artist wasn't a real option for a girl from my small French town. You chose something practical, something safe, and you didn't dream too big. So I did the expected thing for years, the degree, the corporate jobs, until I felt myself dimming. Photography is how I found my way back to myself. What started as a way to feel alive became the way I came home to my own body, my own worth, my own permission to take up space.

A year ago, I became a mother, and everything I thought I understood about transformation deepened. I've lived what you're living now: the changing body, the shifting identity, the search for the woman underneath it all. I know how easy it is to lose sight of her, and how powerful it is to be reminded she's still there. That's why I do this work. I don't just photograph you. I witness you, the way I once needed to be witnessed.

YOUR LOVE NOTES

"I've worked with many photographers before over various milestones of my life. That being said, I can't recommend Emilie enough. I have never had a photographer put as much heart and energy into their work. When Emilie showed up I was nervous for how it would go but she made the entire experience easy, organic and allowed my son to lead the way.

We cherish these photos more than I can express, even capturing the smallest details I mentioned, like his hands. I have those sweet moments to hold onto forever. This is not be the last time I use her!"

Erin

"The weeks go by, and I still cherish the wonderful memory of our encounter. Filled with sunshine, colors, and laughter! You made this moment unique and beautiful. Your guidance, your attentiveness, and your sensitivity made this experience truly magical. The final result is incredible, but the journey to get there was just as meaningful!

I am proud of these photos, and I love looking at them or sharing them with loved ones from time to time, like little treasures. It’s a beautiful gift of love from me to myself on my path toward confidence and self-kindness. I look forward to crossing paths with you again, little ray of sunshine!! "

Emilie

"Emilie is an incredibly talented photographer and one of the most thoughtful human beings I have ever met. She photographed my engagement and wedding and working with her was a highlight of my entire engagement and wedding experience. I know my husband would say the same.
Before working with Emilie, being in front of the camera felt completely out of my comfort zone and it was an aspect of my wedding that I was dreading. However, Emilie has a gift for facilitating an experience that is so much fun and will make you feel like you’re living in a movie. She has an easy going and kind spirit and she guides you through the shoot so that you feel free and empowered. We were blown away by the photo’s she took and anyone who has the chance to work with her will have an experience of a lifetime! Thank you, Emilie!!"

"You can’t imagine the waves of emotion that ran through me when I saw my photos for the first time! I could barely express it to you in the moment—I was at a loss for words... I had never seen myself so beautiful, radiant, free, and serene! It was even more stunning than anything I had imagined.

You were wonderful from the start. You knew how to listen to me and understand my personality, my values, and what I want to embody deep within, bringing all of that out and immortalizing it in photos. What you do is simply magical!

I know that whenever I feel down or doubt myself, I can go back and look at my photos to remind me of the serene, radiant, inspiring woman that I am—someone who trusts herself!

Thank you again a thousand times for everything!"

Laura

"Anyone can snap a picture but Emilie really takes her time to capture the moment in time that shows so much emotion. I had my photos done with my fiancé who is a shy reserved person so naturally she was nervous about taking pictures. but Emilie made her feel so comfortable and confident, she gave great direction and praise. the pictures came out so beautiful and will last a life time and I can't wait to show our future kids. so much love in every picture."

A Few Women Each Season

I take on a limited number of sessions at a time, so each woman has my full presence and care. If this is the season you want to remember, the one where you came back to yourself, I'd love to hear your story.
