Family portraits should be more than just pictures — they should be an experience that brings out laughter, joy, and genuine connection. That’s always my goal with every session, so hearing feedback like Linda’s makes my heart so happy!
Here’s her review:
“10/10, highly recommend. Emily is an awesome photographer, very professional, creative and easy to deal with. She is extremely talented and managed to capture the essence of our family and the beautiful scenery in a fun and relaxed photo shoot. We were very happy with the photos.”

What Makes a Session Fun & Relaxed?
As a mom of four (and a former early childhood teacher), I know that a photo session with kids isn’t always easy. That’s why I focus on:
- Letting kids be themselves — silly faces, big giggles, and all.
- Games and movement — walking, twirling, or playing to keep everyone engaged.
- Genuine moments — not just posed smiles, but real family connections.
That’s what creates photos that feel natural and joyful, just like Linda described.
The Scenery Matters Too 🌅
Phoenix is full of stunning backdrops — desert landscapes, glowing sunsets, and mountain views that make photos pop. As Linda mentioned, the scenery adds so much beauty to your portraits. If you’re still deciding where to take your family pictures, here are some of my favorite photo locations in Phoenix.
Final Thoughts
Hearing from happy clients like Linda reminds me why I love being a Phoenix family photographer. Every family has their own story, and my job is to capture it in a way that feels fun, stress-free, and truly beautiful.
