My name is Emelia
But you can call me Emma. I’m a 22 year old photographer learning & loving in the mountains of Boone, North Carolina.
I’m usually heard before seen, I’ll beat you in a karaoke contest, I want to be a NASCAR driver, COIN the band changed my life, Little Women is my favorite movie, I discovered who I am and who I want to be in the summer of 2023.
I began taking photos seriously in 2018. Years following, I would pay my friends to model for me in mall parking lots, parents’ garages, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. I had no idea what I was doing, and those pictures were embarrassingly awful. Six years later, I have done over 200 sessions and my pictures have landed in People Magazine.
My upmost passion is people & to collaborate with them to create things that I wish existed.
Every step I’ve taken has been blessed by the Lord and every day my feet hit the floor, I know He’s not done with me yet. My goal for life is to fearlessly pursue the talent He has so graciously bestowed upon me.
I would be a sure liar if I were to label myself as “self-taught”. I am a result of the handful of people who have supported me through my victories and defeats. To my people- you know who you are- I am not me without you. Thank you for believing in me no matter what. I love you guys.
