A.My main focus is on weddings, elopments, and engagements! I also do family sessions, seniors, and portraits as available, and love to capture all of the special milestones that life has to offer.

My style is a mix of documentary (candid) and editorial (posed), and I edit true-to-color with a bright, vibrant feel. My goal is to capture you and your loved ones as authentically and true-to-you as possible!

A.Sending me an email is the best way to start! Reach out to me at emwilliamsphoto@gmail.com with what you are looking for, what date(s) would work best for you, and the location(s) you have in mind. I’ll take it from there and together we will coordinate to book your ideal session!

A.Yes, I am happy to meet with you for a free, pre-session consultation to discuss your expectations, style preferences, and any special requests you may have. This is completely optional but if it makes you feel more prepared or comfortable, don’t hesitate to ask!

Send me an email to get started :)

A.Traditional sessions usually last about 45 to 90 minutes, depending on the type of shoot and the number of locations we plan to cover. I also occasionally host holiday or seasonal mini-sessions, which are half hour sessions on certain dates and locations at a discounted rate!

For weddings and events, I book on an hourly or package basis. Each package includes a set number of hours, and more time can be added as needed.

A.I try to offer efficient turnaround time to ensure you get your images as quickly as possible! Portrait sessions are delivered within 2 weeks, events within 2-4 weeks, and wedding galleries are delivered no later than 6 weeks after your big dya.

A.Of course! The recommended time for portraits is sunset or sunrise. I typically try to book around an hour before sunset, to maximize our time with the best lighting. For locations, please see my Location Guides (linked at the top of this page) for some ideas, or reach out to me directly! I am happy to provide suggestions and generate ideas with you.

A.I recommend wearing outfits that make you feel comfortable and confident. Neutral colors and simple patterns work well, but we can discuss specific ideas based on the location and theme of the shoot. For families or groups, I recommend coordinating rather than matching - pick a color scheme and go from there!

A.All you are required to bring is yourself! But, if you have any props or personal items that you would like to include or feature in your photos - such as a favorite book, something related to a hobby, or a meaningful heirloom - you are more than welcome to do so and we can discuss ideas together as well!

A.Absolutely! Having someone you’re comfortable with can help make the experience more enjoyable and relaxed.

A.I typically try to coordinate a rain date with you, and am happy to reschedule your shoot to a day or time that works best for both of us.

A.High quality prints are available for purchase through your gallery, but digital downloads are completely free! I'd also be happy to recommend third-party printers that can print your images for you, if you'd prefer to go that route.

A.All of my prices are listed on my Services & Pricing page, and vary based on the size, duration, and type of session. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me directly! And if you have budget constraints, I am happy to work with you to create a package that meets your needs.

A.Yes, for traditional settings a 25% deposit is required to secure your booking, and is due upon signing your contract. The remaining balance is due within 7 days following the session. Your session is not fully booked until a contract is signed and the deposit is received.

For weddings, elopements, and events, I also require a 25% deposit, and the remaining balance is divided leading up to the date of the event.

A.For Photo Sessions:
Client may terminate the Agreement and/or reschedule the Services by providing Photographer with written notice no later than 7 days before the original date of the Session.
