BEHIND THE LENS
Emily is a portrait, branding, and fashion photographer who captures beauty using creative concepts. She is based on the east coast of Canada, primarily in St. John's, NL. She puts intention and purpose behind each photograph to create captivating imagery. Twelve years ago, she picked up her first camera as a hobby, taking portraits of friends and family for fun. As she continued to develop as a photographer, she began booking all kinds of clients, from families and couples to events and graduations, experimenting with different styles of portraits and learning new skills along the way.
Emily now focuses on creative portraits, branding, and fashion photography. She has had the pleasure of working with multiple local apparel brands, brands across Canada, and in the UK. Her intention with colour and light in every photograph shows her unique and elegant style.
In August 2022, Emily was one of 20 Canadian photographers selected for the Canon Futures program, a 12-month mentorship program working with and learning from some of Canada's top photographers and creative professionals.
In December 2023, Emily's work featured in the world-renowned magazines British Vogue, Glamour, and Tatler for her work with luxury raincoat brand Mernini.
Most recently, Emily has continued to work with Canon Canada as a creator along with Narrative Select as one of their Ambassadors.
MY SELF-PORTRAIT JOURNEY
I love capturing portraits of others, but I also enjoy experimenting with self-portraits. What started as a simple headshot quickly turned into creative concepts with props and new techniques.
Being both the subject and the photographer can be tricky, but it’s been incredibly rewarding. It’s taught me how to pose confidently, understand how my clients feel in front of the camera, and guide them with ease.
These experiences inspired me to create my own posing guides so other photographers can feel just as confident behind the camera.
