Maternity and Family Photographer in Los Angeles

'My husband and I are both awkward people, but Emelie’s directions were easy to follow and poses never felt forced or unnatural.'

Too posed and fake smiles turn me off. Yep, I said it!

If you are obsessed with genuine moments, photos that tell a story – then we can be best friends!

Beauty lies in the connection.
The connection between you and your unborn baby, the connection to your kids, the connection with your partner. Connection is everything.

And that is what I’m here to photograph.

Hi there, I'm Emelie!

I’m your Motherhood photographer. I am passionate about capturing the feels of motherhood.
I want to see your family race along the shore,
I want to capture your partner squeezing you as hard as they can,
and I want to see you smell your toddlers hair. 

BUT, I do NOT want to see any stiff smiles saying ‘cheeeeeese’ for 10 seconds. That’s a nope for me. 

When I’m not behind the camera, there’s a big chance that you will find me doing any of the following :

– Hanging out with my husband and two kids
– Running
– Reading a good book (most likely a mystery)
– Camping with my family
– Painting with my kids

Let’s get out to our beautiful California nature, and create some lasting memories to put on your wall!

Family sessions

If you are tired of stiff and posed family photos, and long for pictures filled with emotions and real smiles, my family sessions are for YOU! Drop the worries of whether or not your kids will behave and just show up as you. You will be guided into having fun and enjoy the time together, and I will just be there to capture the moments for you!

Maternity Sessions

Pregnancy is my favorite jam! Baby bumps, flowy dresses and sunsets are meant for each other. You will be guided through the session, with lots of movement and cuddles with your partner. Let’s create memories of this journey you’re on!
