Mighty Montessori

This fall I was invited to capture some updated photos of the Montessori School of Dayton for their soon-to-be-updated website. It’s no secret that schools and the people in them are my favorite subjects. Blame it on my background in education and adoration of inquisitive mini-humans. Adding to my excitement […]

Back to School

Is it just me, or does the first day of school feel like a national holiday? Fresh school supplies, the perfect outfit, cheering crowds and giddy excitement, and best of all: tiny humans wearing huge backpacks. I would gladly celebrate this every day! Every year, I am thrilled to be […]

Highlights of 2 Years Photographing the Miami Valley School

The Dayton Business Journal recently published a list of the top 25 high schools in the Dayton region. Aside from being a former teacher at #2 on the list (bragging!), I feel extremely fortunate to work with the #1 school as a photographer. I’ve been photographing the Miami Valley School […]

ConGRADS!

Congratulations to the Miami Valley School class of 2019! I’ll admit that even though I don’t personally know these kids very much at all (other than taking their pictures all year at school events), I got choked up more than once at this year’s commencement activities. Aside from the beautiful […]

No Senioritis Here

These seniors presented their year-long research projects, and I was lucky enough to witness it! Hard to believe these impressive people are 18 years old, not yet on their college and career journeys. Here are just a few of my favorites from their incredible exhibition.

Chillin’ out, LAXn’

Ok please excuse the song reference in this blog title, but I just had to share a few of my favorite photos from this lacrosse game. I’m fairly new to sports photography (and really sports in general), so I still have a lot to learn, but I really enjoyed capturing […]

Putting the Grand in Grandparent

I love Grandparents Day at the Miami Valley School. It is perhaps my favorite event of the whole year (and that’s a tall claim amongst some tough competition)…. Seeing these grandparents literally showing up for their kiddos (from preschool-age all the way up to high school) warms me so deeply. […]

My family and I had the best experience with Emerie. Not only did she respond back in a timely manner but she also was really great with our two kids (8) & (4). She offered up great ideas for a photo shoot location when my idea didn’t pan out and she also got the pictures back to us quickly. Thank you so much! Definitely look her up and consider using her for your photography needs both personally and professionally. 😊

Wow! Emerie did a FABULOUS job photographing our wedding! Emerie was very easy to communicate with and very responsive and supportive when it came to ideas for shots. My wife and I had no particular photos we wanted of our wedding, so Emerie's expertise and suggestions were a huge help to make our wedding shoot such a success! Quick turnaround with such focus on detail, and she truly captured our love for each other and our friends, and the fun we had on our wedding day. We would recommend Emerie to anyone looking for beautiful, professional, and fun photos!

This is the 2nd time my extended family has had Emerie take our photos and the 4th time she has taken photos of my girls and I am still stunned by what we get back each time. Easy to work with, friendly, professional, super quick. All of the qualities of a great photographer!

Working with Emerie was fabulous! She caught all the personality of our family and the session was fun and engaging. Moreover her turn around for prints was incredibly fast with very competitive pricing. I can’t wait to use her again for future pictures!

Emerie has tremendous artistic skill and an eye for detail. Her patience and gregarious nature put the subject at ease in front of the camera, making the whole process a joy. She did a spectacular job on my daughter's senior photos, and we are all thrilled with the results.

Huge fan. I have worked with Emerie on a number of projects from head shots, shooting a short film where she helped with story boarding, filming and editing to co-teaching improvisation workshops. She's a brilliant collaborator. Listens intently. Provides clarification. Brings oodles of creativity and a ton of humor to all her projects.

I've already contracted with Emerie twice, so I would definitely use her business for my photography or other publishing needs. I asked her to photograph my son for his senior portraits, and I was thrilled with the quality and efficiency of the sitting and the product! I then knew I wanted her to shoot the family photos I wanted of our blended family of seven before the holidays. She has a keen eye, and she will design the shoot around your specific wishes, including location, props, groupings, and any creative ideas you want to incorporate. Top notch service.
