HOWDY!
Colorado is home, but I relish travel through unique cultures around the world and road trips in the American West. I’m drawn to the mountains, deep into the backcountry, up streams, and down rowdy rock rambles. Photography is my tool for capturing the outdoor experience. I love exploring the balance between joy and strength in the outdoors, and helping others feel “seen” has become my greatest passion.
I believe that communication is key to every project, and over the years I have forged invaluable relationships with the clients, models, and athletes who play a role in my photography. Whether executing a small-scale shoot or a full-blown production, I am prepared and ready to bring your vision to light.
On a personal note, I’m a Colorado native and mother who feels most at home outdoors. Mountain biking is my favorite way to play outside, but I’m also a big fan of hiking, backcountry explorations, and skiing.

"I’ve been working with Emily for years now and the woman hustles. She’s professional, organized and captures incredible photos. We are always confident we’ll come out of a shoot with what we need and then some! Given the nature of our product, we need a photographer that can keep up on a bike or on skis and, even with a full camera bag, she is on it, always ready for the next shot! Beyond her professional skills, Emily is fun, easy going and fits in seamlessly with any and all collection of models. She’s such a pleasure to be around and we can always count on Emily to get the job done!"

"Emily is a dream to work with! It’s rare to find a brand-level photographer that checks all the boxes and is able to deliver assets on brand, on brief, on time, and on budget – but Emily seems to do it with ease. She is one of my go-to photographers for concept shoots and delivers all her work with a great combination of professionalism and fun. She has a wonderful ability to translate strategic brand positioning into rich & robust visual storytelling which makes her an incredibly valuable creative thought partner for upcoming campaigns and photo stories. I am very fortunate to have developed a great working relationship with Emily, and truly cherish not only her finished work, but also the thoughtful approach and personal connection that she applies towards everything she touches. I could not recommend Emily enough!"

"Emily is amazing behind the camera - she makes everyone feel at ease and captures exactly the vibe envisioned. A true talent and pleasure to work with. She has a creative eye as well as business savvy to get the proofs, invoices etc. done in a timely manner."

"I have been working with Emily for over three years and have truly depended on her skills and relationships to help us tell our brand story through photography. We frequently have products that need to be featured in beautiful places with authentic people with a quick turnaround and Emily over delivers every time. Emily just “gets” us and her photos prove it!"

"Emily is an absolute dream to work with. Not only is she incredibly talented and has an amazing eye, but her calm and easy demeanor immediately puts people at ease. She is second to none at collaborating on a vision and bringing it to life even better than imagined. Emily is professional, easy to work with, creative, and a pro at nailing the shot the first time. We consistently love the work that comes from every shoot we run with her."

"We feel like Emily captured our communities and San Juan County on a whole, in a unique way that other journalists, photographers, bloggers, influencers, etc. who we’ve worked with haven’t been able to do. Her photography is awesome, we felt like she really ‘got’ the differences between our 3 main communities, and her stories really conveyed those differences as well. We couldn’t be happier with everything she’s done."
Allison Yamamoto-Sparks, San Juan County, Utah Office of Tourism
